 Hello from Orlando, Florida! I am currently lying in my bed at the end of day 2 and I'm not going to lie I don't really feel like writing a super thorough blog post, because there's just way too much that happened. And it's gonna make me anxious to write down everything and make sure I don't miss something. I'll just write some very broad stuff. There is so much to talk about, so much to write about though.  Day 1 photoalbum  - Woke up at like 3:30 AM (got 2 hours of sleep cuz i went to bed at 12 AM and couldn't even fall asleep)  - Daniel, one of my teammates, picked Hazel and I to go to the airport, SJC.   - Got our boarding passes went thru security and went on first flight to Dallas  - 1 hr layover that went to Orlando.  - After tons of traveling we made it, and we uber'd. That uber ride was really crazy, cuz its like a 20 minute uber to the hotel and I got to see a lot of Florida. Just wow, those forests of like tropical eucalyptis trees, an...

2024 NBA Playoffs pt. 1 | heading into wcf/ecf

Image
 The NBA Playoffs are back and we have finished 2 rounds to end up with a final four teams: Mavericks, Timberwolves, Celtics, and Pacers.  Now before we get into everything we just gotta address the clown among these teams that is the Pacers because WOW lol even though I wanted them to beat the Knicks, this run is such a fluke, it reminds me of Trae Young and the Hawks making ecf in like 2021 or something. Pacers just playing against hospital teams and almost lost. Here's my predictions to share out that I made before the playoffs and playin started. You can see I got the west playin spots right but mixed up the east playin spots so whatever.  Ok anyway here I will run down each playoff series that's happened so far, giving a nice preview heading into the wcf and ecf, where I will make my predictions on who makes the finals and who wins the championship. First Round: West Thunder Pelicans Didn't watch this series like at all, I think I watched part of game 1. Pelicans got...

Random coding sidequest

 So there is a game on AoPS called All-Ten  where you're given 4 single-digit numbers and are asked to make all numbers 1-10 using just those 4 numbers and operations. You must use all four (you can't just use 3) and u can also combine digits, u can just play the game on the site if u dont get what i mean. Anyway so the other day I was sooo stuck. You are given numbers 4, 5, 8, 8. And you want to make the number 6 out of them. Think about it. It's not that bad in hindsight. I tried everything in my head and I was staring at my screen for like 30 minutes just figuring out this last number out. I've never been stuck like this before where I can't get it even after 30 minutes. And so with that frustration in my mind I was stubborn to find it so I was like "imma just write a quick program to figure this last one out" cuz I really wanted to complete the board. So here we go writing a program that brute forces all combinations, it's very similar to  https://...
