GRETA FOOTNOTE: The pyramid puzzle is back, and this time we asked the street.
GRANT BRICKMAN: For viewers just joining: we first told you about Scientific American's pyramid puzzle this morning. Now, the street has questions. Nova? ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Nine triangles, nine zeros. Each move nudges two neighbours by one. The goal is nine consecutive positive numbers. ▶
NOVA: Nova here, helmet on, on the street. The universe is vast, but this triangle has only nine cells. Let's ask the public. ▶
PASSERBY: Nine zeros? I have had weeks like that. Where do you even start? ▶
PASSERBY: Each move changes two neighbours by one, so it's fiddly. I'd give up around move four. ▶
NOVA: The report says the orange and black cells start balanced, and every move keeps that balance. That's the whole trick. ▶
PASSERBY: So if there's an answer at all, the smallest number is two? I'd put my coffee on it. ▶
PASSERBY: I count three orange and six black. That's lopsided and I feel strongly about it. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The article says the smallest number is at most two, and only two if the puzzle can be solved at all. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Greta sets the record straight, and Grant has thoughts.
GRANT BRICKMAN: PXL Corrects the Record. I am told it is mandatory. Greta has a list. I have a good conscience. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: You said charts are built in now. They are in Windows App SDK 2.5.4 Experimental. Experimental is doing heavy lifting. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Experimental is a fancy word for early. I was early. That's practically a compliment, Greta. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: You said the doctor surely called it safe. Experts want the allergy risk listed on leaflets and taught in training. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Which is exactly what I implied. Doctors know these things. They just need leaflets, like the rest of us. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: On USB cables: the Forum recommends 2.6 feet for USB 4. Your very long cable may have cost you performance. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: It was a good cable. It performed beautifully in my heart, and the station's 1987 weather map agreed. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The Forum is an industry group, not a regulator. Nobody's coming for your cable, Grant. ▶
BILLY MAYHEM: Is your fringe running the show? Meet FRINGELEY, the self-aligning bang clip! Watch me tame this wild flop of hair!
BILLY MAYHEM: Just clip, click, and... it sprang off! The clip is fine! The fringe is just confident! BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE: it comes with a tiny mirror!
PRUDENCE NUANCE: Two good things about Fringeley, one worrying thing, and a mirror too small to settle it.
STORMY BYTES: London first: 13 degrees now, clear sky, wind 10 kilometres an hour. Today's high is 15, low 10, rain chance 0 percent. Dry and mildly smug.
STORMY BYTES: Paris: 13 degrees, mainly clear, wind 8 kilometres an hour. High of 16, low of 7, 0 percent rain. Berets are optional but encouraged.
STORMY BYTES: Berlin, our home base: 9 degrees, mainly clear, wind 9 kilometres an hour. High 11, low 6, rain chance 3 percent. A drizzle rumour, nothing more.
STORMY BYTES: Madrid: a lovely 19 degrees, clear sky, wind just 2 kilometres an hour. High 21, low 9, rain chance 0 percent. Practically a hype sunbeam.
STORMY BYTES: And Rome: 17 degrees, mainly clear, wind 4 kilometres an hour. High 21, low 10, 0 percent rain. Hype front stays stable, back to you.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Correct! You picked the real one. PXL made the other one up, and frankly it was a very good one.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Fooled! PXL made that one up. I am told it is a gift. The real one is about winding coils.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Time's up! The coils kept winding without you, as they do.
