why a trivia

[linkage]

well...

[quote="Chicka-Maria"]The human mind can read without the letters being there in order.....

This theory works with JUMBLED words, not with reversed ones !
Just read you message again : you have to figure out it is reversed first, then to codebreak it. To fit the right theory you have to be able to read it without realizing its jumbled.

i thnk tht tirvias are awseom, just liek Platyna!

[Ginaria]

I wake up at Mana World to see,
as suddenly my antenna whispers me,
"a mysterious essence is at town",
so i am jumping up and down.
It must be Platyna, she is back,
some Pinkys get a heart attack.
Is she the one,
who summons Pinkys for fun?
I hope not,
where is her spot.
There she is, a crown is at her head,
but is she worth that?
She is an admin and admins should act wise,
so a trivia would be nice.
Its a well idea,
because we will see,
how crazy stuff she must learn,
so we sit near the tree fern.
Trivias are always funny,
like a honey bunny.
Our brains will getting hot,
buy solving the Gordian knot.
More and more coming to town,
and sit down.
Curious like i am,
i am waiting now on my biology exam.

Arf Chicka-Maria got me...

[Nard]

yes why? Just suppress these overpriced hats rewards and we can see if players haver real interest in their subject.
I suggest replacing it with a no-reward-just-for-fun (or one reward) forum trivia which could encourage players to register, read and post on Forum.
I would like a golden mouboos event where golden mouboos would be given to "the best Player", "the nicest Player", "the GM of the year", "the dev of the year"... by some Academy of The Mana World.

How to measure the quantity of alcohol in the blood:
3 CH3CH2OH(aq) + 2 Cr2O72-(aq) + 16 H+(aq) = 3 CH3COOH(aq) + 4 Cr3+(aq) + 11 H2O(l)

hehe

Because these poor people are trying to hard on this thread

[Platyna]

The winners are:
Lizandra - for encoding her feelings into protein sequence, as biologist do.
Ginaria - for a poem, despite the fact it was in pink.

And, I couldn't decide if linkage or alastim so they both get the prize:
linkage - for finding bugs in Lizandra's translations.
alastrim - for remembering the questions I asked like three years ago. ;)

Trivia will be in week. Be prepared. The topic will be: molecular biology (biochemistry + molecular genetics).

Regards.

Wow thanks !
Therefore i have to thanks Lizandra for finding this idea, and making a mistake

[Lizandra]

Errare humanum est

Glad to help

Lizandras idea is really cool, very creative, interesting (i havent understood still, lol), funny cryptography!!!
Normally only she should win. She got the 1st place by far!

[Lizandra]

Ginaria, the idea is encrypting a message using the genetic code. Our cells have different systems of "comunication". In the nucleus, the "messages" are made of nucleotides (U, G, C, A), the components of RNA and DNA but outside the nucleus, the cell almost only understands the "protein" language. The smallest part of a protein, the letters, if you want to call them like that, are called amino acids. So, basically, the nucleus writes spanish, the cell has a google translator, that translates those words into english.

Each 3 letters of the nucleus message are called a codon (that corresponds to an amino-acid). To simplify the system, scientists gave an alphabet letter to each amino acid.

There's a correspondence table that you can use: http://psylab.idv.tw/fig-Hong/amino%20acid%20codon.jpg

In every "message", like in a telegram, there's a codon (3 letters) that represents the "start" of the message and other at the end that represents the "stop".

I think that now you can understand my message. The direction of the message is 5' ---> 3'

The are no multiple places. All people are on one place.

nice choice btw.
