pi is not 3.14, you should never use 3.14 as anything other than an estimate and you should never use estimates as answers to questions that don't say "estimate" 

many people got it right without problems, its part of the puzzle, to find the correct pi/answer, through trial and error. expect more of these cases/situations in version 2.  Wink

I think this game is an awesome idea.  I can't seem to download it though.  I think you should try make it a web game to get more people to play, but I'm impressed that you got a working game!

I removed the download link, no BTC remains to win. I will pm you when I launch version 2 of the game.

In the next version, try to make the game accept multiple answers. I didn't finish the game just because I entered the whole answer in P2 instead of what you wanted.

ok, thanks

I didnt agree to anything  Cheesy

I just posted links for info that is related to what was being discussed here.

So dont put words into my mouth Smiley

senbonzakura - is a Somali tribe with its culture suffused in Islamic law really an ideal model.  Settlements where rape victims are forced to marry their abusers and female circumcision is enforced are not my idea of an improvement on what we have now.

1. rape victims marrying their attacker/abuser is in the bible, not in the Quran. no such law exists in the Quran/shariah. if you do find cases where the victim is forced to or coerced to marry the abuser(in islamic countries), then that is against shariah/islamic law & condemned.

2. some places like egypt , have female circumcision, again its to do with culture. many non-islamic societies enforce female circumcision, its to do with culture.

3. I am not here to defend 'xeer' or some practices in some islamic societies/cultures , I just gave these links as some may find it interesting (regarding a system that exists without a state)

Hawker, I believe you are conflating law with the State. Law can and has existed without the State. You do need law in order to have property rights. You are correct in saying that, but I don't think you are correct to assume that without a State there can be no law. Whether law under a State is more just, or efficient or desirable is a different argument.

I know someone who went to jail rather than give up her house as part of a bitter divorce.  The courts said it was not her house and when she refused to leave, she was arrested.  That is how property rights work - if you don't accept them you go to jail.  That requires a state.

Can courts only exist with a state? Why or why not?

A court enforces the law.  It uses a police force to enforce the law. A lot of disputes are over trivial matters, like petty theft, so the courts cannot depend on fees to support the judges, admin, police and prisons. Historically, courts and jails have been funded by taxation to get around this.  Taxation really requires a state if you are going to have taxes get democratic approval.

Is that a "no, courts cannot exist without state"?

A system of independent courts, police and prisons cannot exist without a state.  I understand some Islamic tribes have a "court of elders" type system but that isn't really a court with a legal system as we know it.

So if it could be proved that such a system could exist without a state would you reevaluate your ideology?

something like this ?

I enjoyed playing v1.0
I surely will do my my best, when the v2.0 comes out! Smiley

thanks very much

yes, I just used the easiest way, 2 decimal places, pi = 3.14
411  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bitcoin Island Game ver 1.00 - Win 0.05 BTC - 25x winners Game Over on: February 20, 2012, 07:38:47 PM
-.- i thought it would be something like that, wasn't the radius 11.2?

pi * (2 * 11.2) = 70.371675440411

70.336 would be a radius of 11.1943221 or a pi of exactly 3.14, both of which are wrong

3.14 x (2 x 11.20)

3.14 x 22.40 = 70.336

so what was the answer to p2?

Nice!
I am very curious what were the right answers for part3?   Grin

P1 , find M using Pythagoras' Theorem , answer = 5

P2 , pi(2 x R)  , circumference , answer 70.336

P3 , "give and ye shall receive"  answer = 35168  (multiply and abhor the period, and ye shall claim the treasure ! )

I'll try to make the next puzzle harder, with higher BTC prize (in version 2)  Cheesy
