push-ups challenge accepted
By Errichto, history, 9 years ago, In English

Today will be CF #313. I will take part in it and I will do at least 20*sqrt(max(0,myRatingLoss)) push-ups in 24h. Wish me good luck.

myRatingLoss = newRating — OldRaing?

      Delete sqrt function and you will be strong boy.

I expect some proof like video or something :]

We can go deeper. How about Fibonacci(20*sqrt(max(0,myRatingLoss)))? (Of course this is just a joke)

    So if myRatingLoss is big enought the fibunacci number will overflow the data type and the number will be < 0.

      and the number will be < 0

      ...or it will be undefined behaviour :P

    If you write "this is a joke" in parenthesis that joke loses the sense ;)

So judging by your results, we'll be seeing some imaginary push-ups?

P.S.

Oh never mind, you got MAX(0,ratingLoss). I would've liked to see imaginary push-ups :D

    You can't see imaginary ones because they're not real. (That's how it works with imaginary quantities in physics, at least.)

      Well, trying to give video proof of his imaginary push-ups would've been interesting

    Are they perpendicular to real push-ups?

    But fortunately I wrote sqrt(max(0,loss)) so it's real.

    You can't see them, but you can imagine them.

I get 7-th place! Motivation is a good thing. Or fear. Or luck.

Push-ups? Maybe next time.

    Only people whom are sure that 0 is greater than their rate loss will accept these type of challenges! Not a unstable one like me :D

        if it was myRatingLoss = newRating — OldRaing, you would make push-ups

      Unstable? Look at my graph. :P Your is really nice.

What an amazing idea. I'll do the same for every contest.
