Original Title: What is wrong with the site management? Where are my awards? Why am I not credited when others are? Honestly what is going on? Why is everything so slow?
?
Huh? What's going on here? One year ago? And still nothing? I'm sure this must be some kind of mistake. But it's a big one. And it's growing. Hey just for reference, I also won an Exotic TAS award this year, and again, still no icon.
It gets worse. It's not like everyone simultaneously forgot about it. No, changes are being discussed, and then nothing happens. This site about superhuman speed is balanced out in the supersloth management. It should reject itself as it's slower than its RTA counterpart.
What kind of treatment is this? I can't show off my awards like this!
Spawning a new branch of Super Mario World runs in 2012, I brought down the fastest time by 7:21 minutes. Then in 2013 I completely changed strategies and improved myself by 56 seconds, and in 2014 I saved 57 seconds with yet another strategy change.
And then, in 2015 someone else optimized the same strategy by 10 frames and in 2019 another 8 frames.
And those frames were enough to overshadow my credit:
Last time I checked Mas[...] was not my username. I'm not planning to change it. But I see, so those are the more important authors. It's even easier to see the hierarchy when I'm completely gone:
How much more difficult would it be to make it work without cheats? Or is it eve possible?
I believe the 0.78 second SMB3 TAS has known improvements.
[4032] NES Super Mario Bros. 3 "game end glitch" by Masterjun & ais523 in 00:00.78 for its incredibly short length
come up with an algorithm, better than plain brute force, to find two single digit 2x2 matrices whose product is obtained by concatenating the base 10 digits of each element.
You test all 104=10,000 possibilities to find the 153 4-tuples.
Then you can see that the same restrictions apply again for the lower right number, so exactly these 4-tuples appear again with flipped positions.
At this point you can just test all 153*153=23,409 candidates for the remaining 2 restrictions.
I found 101 solutions.
Then I figured I'd test the same approach with 2-digit number multiplication resulting in 4-digit numbers (with leading 0s). After searching the 1004=100,000,000 possibilities, I found 24,209 4-tuples, which means another 586,075,681 tests for solutions. After a minute of running it, I found 36494 solutions. One example is {{10,19},{23,44}}*{{14,38},{46,82}}:
In the 2-digit to 4-digit case, this reduces the tests needed in the second loop from 586,075,681 to 11,188,789, and takes about 10 seconds.
...No I'm pretty sure it was rejected because it resulted in a broken loop. Sure that might be a result of jumping to a different point in credits, but that itself wasn't the reason.
Plenty of Game End Glitches have existed where the location of the credits they warp to have been different, super mario world is one example. This: http://tasvideos.org/1945M.html is how it used to look, where it warped directly to the end screen, compared to how it is now: http://tasvideos.org/3989M.html
That wasn't a request, Dacicus. Our team, the sixth team to be officially registered, is called "Team 5", and that's our logo.
What's the expected average number of times you'll need to toss the coin in order to get 10 of the same side consecutively?
We start with one H tossed:
HT HHT HHHT HHHHT HHHHH
E_h = (1/2)*(E_t+1) + (1/4)*(E_t+2) + (1/8)*(E_t+3) + (1/16)*(E_t+4) + (1/16)*4
Alternatively the backdrop color for backgrounds is the 16-bit value at CGRAM address 0, and the Fixed Color Data at register $2132 is probably also important.
Why TC version 4.7.7, though?
Nice movie!

...She only has 20 dollar bills in a safe. She counts them like this: 4 20s according to her makes 100. As she counts this way, it ends up being 2180. So she counts 4 20 dollar bills and puts in her calculator 100 instead of 80 which was the mistake made. And when she was done, she ended up with 2180 under the belief that 4 20 dollar bills make 100 dollars. Realizing that 4 20 dollar bills doesn't make 100 dollars, what does she actually have?
