(6_2)_8_9_1=13 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 from vhttp://www.grimwell.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1202 A quick Python script says these are the only ones that equal 13: (6*2)-8+9*1 (6*2)-8+9/1 If you ignore remainders (stupid computer integer math), you also have: (6*2)+8/9+1 (6*2)-8/9+1 Because 8/9 is 0. Edit: Also, if it's allowed be negative and stupid computer integer math, you have all these: (6-2)-8-9*1 (6-2)-8-9/1 (6*2)+8/9+1 (6*2)-8+9*1 (6*2)-8+9/1 (6*2)-8/9+1 (6/2)-8-9+1 but NONE of them work! (w00t) Anybody else?
Stargate: 2000 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 (6_2)_8_9_1=13 can I ask what you are trying to figure out with this question? because it seems rather straight forward that only the first two = 13 or I am wondering what this topic is all about exactly.

(6_2)_8_9_1=13 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Posted December 31, 2004 So I was asking, if this is a bug, because I can't get it to work for anything. I googled the equation and it seems lots of people have this problem... so... yeah. It's a good username for this forum though.
Stargate: 2000 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 So I was asking, if this is a bug, because I can't get it to work for anything. I googled the equation and it seems lots of people have this problem... so... yeah. It's a good username for this forum though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well if you follow the rules of bedmas (brackets, expoinents, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction; with division and multiplication being interchangable with one another and subtraction and addition also being interchangable with one another as to which comes first from the left to the right) then the first two (i.e. (6*2)-8+9*1=13 and (6*3)-8+9/1=13) do infact work out to the supposed total of 13. While the others in your list don't work out. So the question would figure out like so (6*2)-8+9*1=13 (12)-8+9*1=13 4+9*1=13 13*1=13 13 or (6*2)-8+9/1=13 (12)-8+9/1=13 4+9/1=13 13/1=13 13 here is how the rest of them would figure out just so you know (6*2)+8/9+1= 2.22 (6*2)-8/9+1= 0.44 (6-2)-8-9*1= -13 (6-2)-8-9/1= -13 (6*2)+8/9+1= 3.22 (6*2)-8/9+1= 0.44 (6/2)-8-9+1= -13 Hope that helps a bit.

Archmage58 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Ok, here it is.... as far as I can figure out, the thing is either bugged or... A.) Have to be LS (doubtful). B.) Been through the hidden tomb on Korriban. C.) Stepped into the DS cloud. D.) Specific char. in your group (don't see how that would effect it... but whatever, mine were Handmaiden, HK-47, and Visas... that was when it worked.) Or of course it could be from some totally random thing you do in the game but it seems most likely it's just bugged.
Stargate: 2000 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 ok am I missing something or what? because from what I remembered it was just a simple grade school math problem so whats the problem? is it not working for you even when you do enter the correct symbols or what? if so then its more than likely bugged since it should work no matter who is in the party at the time. So more info if you please. "The only difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits!" - Albert Einstein.

Archmage58 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 That's exactly what's meant. Even if you put in the correct sequence it gives you incorrect and explodes on you. Happened on my first time through.
Stargate: 2000 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 ok then try it with either T3 or Bao-Dur in your party because they will have a high computer skill. When I tried it I had T3 and had no problems. "The only difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits!" - Albert Einstein.

(6_2)_8_9_1=13 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Posted December 31, 2004 Yes, I was Bao Dur, I know the equation, I figured it out quickly as well. I didn't find the hidden tomb on Korriban though... Also, according to PEMDAS order of operations, addition happens before subtraction so the equation would actually be (12) - (8 + 9) / 1 = -5 (12) - (8 + 9) * 1 = -5 because you subtract last. right? just saying...,
Archmage58 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Actually the order of operations is fine, addition as subtraction can be done in any order and multiplication/division come first, after parantheses and all that. But anyway, that doesn't matter the thing just has to be bugged, and as for the Tomb... a little off topic, but it's in the Shyrak(sp?) cave in the very back where, I believe you can get Qel-Droma's Robe in Kotor I.

I would say its broken. "The only difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits!" - Albert Einstein.

Epiphany Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 It's bugged, one of the many things that work "perfectly" in this game...
Guun Fett Truss Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Actually, it is not bugged, but the instructions could be better. You can use each operand only once; therefore the correct answer is (6 * 2) - 8 + 9 / 1 = 13
Archmage58 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 No sorry Guun Fett tested and failed, many times.... apparently I really like getting shocked.
Buck333 Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 (6*2)-8+9*1=13 that is correct.... it has worked for me on ls and ds i dont know what you're doing wrong <.<
Guun Fett Truss Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Actually, it is not bugged, but the instructions could be better. You can use each operand only once; therefore the correct answer is (6 * 2) - 8 + 9 / 1 = 13 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> (6*2)-8+9*1=13 that is correct.... it has worked for me on ls and ds i dont know what you're doing wrong <.< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Every time I tried the first it worked No Problems. Every time I tried the last I get shocked. I do also use my best Character at Computer Skill who generally has a high Security also. Maybe that"s the difference???
Ostkant Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Don't you need to do the other A B C D E F-thing first before doing the math thing? I also noticed sometimes that it doesn't work, even though I'm doing it right.
cackles Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 Ive found that somethings you have to load up from the planet/place you were before to get rid of the bugs. This for me has resulted in replaying maybe about 20 or 30 hrs EASILY. Sometimes Ive had to go 2 steps back at about 6 or 8hrs and one sickener of 18 hrs, though replaying it its a lot quicker haha ...
Obireel Y Doncha Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 No sorry Guun Fett tested and failed, many times.... apparently I really like getting shocked. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dunno, I'm pretty sure I multiplied at the end and beginning of the equation like Buck333 and that it worked. I'd guess there's a problem with some of the discs that shipped out.
JediMaster0012 Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 (6 * 2) - 8 + 9 / 1 = 13 Thats what worked for me the first time I tried it. But the other one should work too.
RandomOwl Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 it worked for me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ditto. What would be the cause of this? Bad discs? If you save before using the computer, have it explode, then reload and try again with the same operators, will it work?
SoulessEffigy Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 You can only use each operation once...
HK-74 Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 You can only use each operation once... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Operand. And nope, you can use the multiplier twice. I always do this one second and have never had a problem with it. I'll try doing it first next time and see what happens.
