No you can solve 3/4ths of your problems

Would that make Zeno's Wank just a type of edging?

if you learn how to solve zeno’s problem in the first book, it may be possible to solve 100% of your problems in the second book

If you buy 5 books, you'll be able to solve 96.88% of your problems.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Or you could just read the one book eight times for 99.6℅. Why buy more than one when one is enough to read as many times as you like?

[–] bdot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

that’s some mighty fine fiscal responsibility, right there

[–] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 2 months ago

Well guess what? That was an e-book and you only get to read once.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This all hinges on when you count the number of problems you have. But that's why you have two eyes! Read the same page of books 1 and 2 in parallel and obliterate 100% of your problems.

I disagree. If one book solves half of your problems at random and the other does the same, that's still 75% on average, and 25% on average will have 2 solutions.

SMH, that's not how books work. What a complete waste of money. You only needed to buy one copy, to then read it twice.

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Then you can give it to someone else to read or sell it and even more people can read it.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

I mean, it's still only 75% solved.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That still only solves 75% of your problems. You'll need to buy an infinite number of books to get to 100%.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Unfortunately math was in the remaining 25% of problems

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

Technically 0% of their problems and 100% of their former problems.

[–] antmzo220@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 months ago

If you read them simultaneously perhaps you would get 100% and avoid the zeno

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

You need to make sure you buy them from different places, otherwise they might each solve the same problems!

[–] konalt@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Poor Zeno has so many problems

[–] li10@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

The only remotely interesting character in Romulus.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

According to a crazy person i know that breeds "wolf dogs" you now have 2500% problem solving abilities.

I do have a sugar with a short leg.
