One hundred and seventy-second week paid.

Thanks again for your flawless timing (I made you time travel 3 seconds).

What’s happening?

Amaretto

Very Italian drink.
I bet you are one of those yellow-plated-foreigner clogging our autostrade.

I know I won’t have any answer on this, not because you call guilty on this, but as you are rightly jealous of your Opsec! Just in case: happy holiday!

How very Dutch.

It has happened once or twice

Just in case: happy holiday!

Thanks You know that means the kids don't have school for 6 weeks, right? Happy holiday to you too

[NeuroticFish]

If that's indeed correct, count yourself lucky. Here the summer vacation lasts 12-13 weeks. Mine are in vacation for 4 weeks already.

6 weeks? Those are rookie numbers!
30 years ago, when my kids used to go to schools, Italian holidays were from mid June to mid September (and I guess it’s more or less still like this!)

If that's indeed correct, count yourself lucky. Here the summer vacation lasts 12-13 weeks. Mine are in vacation for 4 weeks already.

Now this is something I can cope with!
It isn’t  a proper holiday if you don’t forget everything during the holiday, and if you don’t spend at least one month remembering everything you learnt during the previous year!

Yeah. My kids just got a TV ban for today because they didn't solve (yesterday) a 30 minute (tops) math paper I've printed for them. Something easy to ensure they don't forget absolutely everything. Exactly because 4 weeks have already passed. Exactly because they probably won't touch math for another 3 weeks at least (then they have to start the proper homework).

One hundred and seventy-third week paid.

[o_e_l_e_o]

Thanks. There is no excuse.

Question 1:

Find the required nonce and extraNonce which results in the double SHA256 of this block header being below the target. You have 10 minutes.

Thanks again

There's always an excuse The kids don't have school (6 more weeks to go), and were finally in bed. It's hot, and the couch was calling me.

Lol
I tried today: 3*3, and got answers varying from 6 to 10 or 11.

Remember the days when I could have the Bitcoin price (in k) as percentage in my booze? Last week's amaretto came close, but now I'm just back to 38% again

[BlackHatCoiner]

Question 1

Drinking water while reading this made me spit it. They can have their own TV afterwards. 

Something easy to ensure they don't forget absolutely everything.

How old are they? Primary school? You can't forget absolutely everything on math. Personally as a kid, it was a pain in the ass to study in summer.


Do kids watch TV nowadays?

See? He spent 7 years on the forum building a fake alias (Dutch, kids, family, used to be highly alcoholic %age drinker…) in order so disguise a possible personal attack aiming at the 1Meritsled and bum, a simple, innocent very implausible details make the house of cards collapse!
My nephew don’t even bother giving a single glimpse at the TV i bought them when they come over. Twitch and YouTube only.

[BlackHatCoiner]

It feels nice being the last "batch" of kids who grew up with cartoons, live action series, MTV, old-school YouTube, javascript and css free pages instead of Instagram, Tik Tok, Fortnite and trap.

What went so wrong?

[NeuroticFish]

I tried today: 3*3, and got answers varying from 6 to 10 or 11.

You must be joking. I had with one of them that kind of problems with 8*9, but never with 3*3.

Question 1:

Find the required nonce and extraNonce which results in the double SHA256 of this block header being below the target. You have 10 minutes.

Actually Q1 was "Write the following numbers as words: 18, 24, 38, 55, 83, 99".

How old are they? Primary school?

9 and 11.

You can't forget absolutely everything on math. Personally as a kid, it was a pain in the ass to study in summer.

I had my surprises during the past years, so I know what I'm talking about.
Don't trust, verify. They've done their paper next day, I was happy (actually pleasantly surprised) with the outcome and we were good again.

If they don't have iPads unlocked all day, cartoons on TV are just the next option.
When they are no longer allowed at TV, they get to play actual games.

What went so wrong?

What went wrong seems to be parents' lack of time and the easy solution of iPads and consoles.
However, I try to show mine now and then older cartoons (they do like Woody Woodpecker) or older games (TIM, Warcraft2). But it's inevitable, they do go with the trend.

[LoyceV]

You mean you have to wait until a certain time to watch something, and then wait through countless commercials? Nope, they don't.

Lol. I never made it a secret Loyce Valenzuela came out of a random name generator.

used to be highly alcoholic %age drinker…

Used to? I've barely even started!

There you go, kids don't want Youtube, they want Youtube Vanced. Which, unfortunately, isn't available on our media player

Old cartoons are on Youtube. The kids love Lucky Luke and Pink Panther! Old action series are great to watch together with them, MacGyver is next on my list.

Your /etc/hosts, apparently!

Maybe they're a bit young for this.

That's not a 30 minute exercise.

They've done their paper next day

Here, screen time is strictly controlled nowadays, and has to be earned with good behaviour. It makes things better for all of us.

True. There were times when the tablet was a necessity for our sanity. Not anymore

I try to show mine now and then older cartoons (they do like Woody Woodpecker)

I just tested: they couldn't recognize the Woody Woodpecker laugh. I'll add it to my list.

[NeuroticFish]

That's not a 30 minute exercise.

It's not. It's part of a list of overly easy exercises to be done (all together) and should not need more than 30 minutes (all together).

Trying to get there, but not there yet. It seemed to work while there was school, it seems to not work as good in the vacation. Still working on it.

I just tested: they couldn't recognize the Woody Woodpecker laugh. I'll add it to my list.

Tom & Jerry, Pink Panther, Woody, Popeye, ... there's quite a list of great cartoons.
I also found out that's a good age for Laurel and Hardy movies

One hundred and seventy-fourth week paid.

[LoyceV]

Thanks again for your flawless timing! I don't need to make excuses this week: the kids are in bed!

Did I say "it's hot" last week? Strike that, it's terrible now. But thunderstorms are on their way, so tomorrow I can stop evaporating

[LoyceV]

Thanks again for your flawless timing!

[Foxpup]

One hundred and seventy-fifth week paid.

[BlackHatCoiner]

I wish y'all it took you to finish the same time it averagely takes Loyce to thank for his payment.

And, once complete, get complimented as flawless.
