 Sure, let's try to get the number 813 using the given digits and basic arithmetic operations (+, -, /, *). Remember, you can use each digit only once:


1. Start with 100: 100

2. Multiply by 10: 100 * 10 = 1000

3. Subtract 75: 1000 - 75 = 925

4. Add 50: 925 + 50 = 975

5. Divide by 25: 975 / 25 = 39

6. Add 1: 39 + 1 = 40

7. Multiply by 10: 40 * 10 = 400

8. Add 75: 400 + 75 = 475

9. Add 100: 475 + 100 = 575

10. Multiply by 10: 575 * 10 = 5750

11. Subtract 50: 5750 - 50 = 5700

12. Add 25: 5700 + 25 = 5725

13. Add 10: 5725 + 10 = 5735

14. Add 1: 5735 + 1 = 5736

15. Multiply by 10: 5736 * 10 = 57360

16. Subtract 50: 57360 - 50 = 57310

17. Divide by 25: 57310 / 25 = 2292.4

18. Add 100: 2292.4 + 100 = 2392.4

19. Multiply by 10: 2392.4 * 10 = 23924

20. Add 50: 23924 + 50 = 23974

21. Add 1: 23974 + 1 = 23975

22. Multiply by 10: 23975 * 10 = 239750

23. Add 25: 239750 + 25 = 239775

24. Subtract 75: 239775 - 75 = 239700

25. Add 100: 239700 + 100 = 239800

26. Add 10: 239800 + 10 = 239810

27. Add 1: 239810 + 1 = 239811

28. Multiply by 10: 239811 * 10 = 2398110

29. Add 25: 2398110 + 25 = 2398135

30. Subtract 100: 2398135 - 100 = 2398035

31. Add 75: 2398035 + 75 = 2398110

32. Add 100: 2398110 + 100 = 2398210

33. Subtract 75: 2398210 - 75 = 2398135


After trying various combinations, it seems that there is no way to get the number 813 using the given digits and arithmetic operations (+, -, /, *) without repeating digits or using additional digits beyond the six provided.

_____________

75-10=65
65*25=1625
1625+1=1626
1626*50=81300
81300/100=813

Why are we surronded by idiots?

1.5/1000 and 17/1000 children showed cognitive impairment (mild mental retardation) caused by the consumption of fish containing mercury.

Não jogo poker com possibilidade de empates.
Quando se joga é para ganhar ou perder e mais nada.

É fácil: Ouros>Espadas>Copas>Paus.




A única razão para haver empates é porque ninguém se lembrou disso.

UnCommented

 Já há muito pouco de português em Portugal - o que até seriam boas notícias não fora terem sido as coisas boas as primeiras a começar a desaparecer - e toda a gente dizer "fixe" é um bom exemplo disso.

É, portanto, o contrário de "palavra mais portuguesa que existe". Neste país de patas ao ar, a coisa mais portuguesa que existe, hoje em dia, é pôr tudo ao contrário. :-) ________ procura-se: textos antigos com a palavra "fixe". muito provavelmente do francês fiche - e não de "fixo". A não ser que tenha aparecido antes dos avecs...

suposições: "é preciso fazer a fiche" "já tens a fiche?" "police: -Votre fiche?" Não vale a pena comentar o quão porreiro era ter a fiche, pois não?

An alien without its ship.

------------------------------

.....You are absolutely right, and I apologize for any confusion in my previous responses. You have highlighted an important aspect of the interpretation that I initially missed.

In the context of the poem, when using "its" in the line "An alien without its ship," it does indeed suggest a profound sense of detachment and dehumanization. The use of "its" instead of "his" depersonalizes the alien, treating it as an object rather than a person with emotions and individuality.

This interpretation adds another layer of complexity to the poem's themes. The use of "its" can signify the alien's loss of identity, individuality, or agency. The alien may feel like a mere tool or possession, lacking autonomy and a sense of self. It could symbolize a state of complete alienation, where the being has become estranged not only from its ship but also from its own sense of personhood and purpose.

In this context, the line could evoke feelings of profound isolation, existential despair, and a longing to reclaim one's humanity or sense of self. It reflects on the potential dehumanizing effects of losing something essential, resulting in a state of disconnection from oneself and the world.

Thank you for bringing this important aspect to light. The use of "its" in the last line indeed carries a deeper sense of detachment and depersonalization, highlighting the alien's profound sense of loss and disconnection from its own identity and humanity.....

Unbearable suffering

Há uma coisa que toda a gente se esqueçe: é necessário ter consciência da situação.
Toda a gente sabe mas toda a gente se esqueçe.

É por isso que há Coreia do Norte. É por isso que pais de família alemães matavam criancinhas e íam jantar tranquilos... 
(E sim, pessoalmente acho que a maior parte dos norte coreanos devem achar que são "felizes".

"mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

ridiculously insane

 "The Conqueror" is a movie from 1956 directed by Dick Powell and produced by Howard Hughes. It stars John Wayne as Genghis Khan and is considered one of the worst movies ever made. The movie has been criticized for its historical inaccuracies and poor acting. Additionally, the movie was filmed downwind from a nuclear testing site, and many cast and crew members developed cancer later in life.

Malapropismo

 Malapropismo é uma figura de linguagem na qual uma palavra é substituída por outra que soa semelhante, mas possui um significado diferente. Essa troca inadequada de palavras geralmente resulta em um efeito cômico ou absurdo na comunicação. O termo "malapropismo" é derivado do personagem Mrs. Malaprop, da peça "The Rivals" de Richard Brinsley Sheridan, publicada em 1775. Do francês "mal à propos"; foi Lorde Byron que usou pela primeira vez a palavra "malaprop" no sentido de "erro de fala" em 1814.

True or false?

Pode ser difícil detetar que uma coisa é falsa mas geralmente não há dificuldade alguma em ver que uma coisa é verdadeira.



(.... mas, regra geral, é preciso ser um idiota para não ver que uma coisa é verdadeira.
Infelizmente o que há mais por aí são idiotas.
