Package: gbrainy Version: 0.3-1 Severity: normal
The game "Circles in a rectangle" asks the following question: "What is the maximum number of circles that can be fit in the square below?" The circles in question have a diameter of 1 unit and the box is a square of 5 units. The answer that gbrainy reports is 27. However, the circles may not be fitted in the square as suggested by the picture shown by gbrainy. The picture shows a row of 5 circles, on top of that a row of 4 circles, and so on, fitting a total of 6 rows of alternating 5 and 4 circles into the square. This way, the top row, however, will stick out of the box by 0.330 units. The total height may be calculated as follows: h = 1 + 5 * cos 30° = 5.330 > 5 The correct answer for a box of 5x5 units is still 5^2, or 25. The smallest square box to hold more than x^2 circles is 8x8, it holds 5 x 8 + 4 * 7 = 68 circles: h = 1 + 8 * cos 30° = 7.928 < 8 -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-4-p4pe (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gbrainy depends on: ii libglade2.0-cil 2.10.2-1 CLI binding for the Glade librarie ii libgnome2.0-cil 2.16.0-7 CLI binding for Gnome 2.16 ii libgtk2.0-cil 2.10.2-1 CLI binding for the GTK+ toolkit 2 ii libmono-cairo2.0-cil 1.2.5.1-1+lenny1 Mono Cairo library ii libmono-corlib2.0-cil 1.2.5.1-1+lenny1 Mono core library (2.0) ii libmono-system2.0-cil 1.2.5.1-1+lenny1 Mono System libraries (2.0) ii libmono2.0-cil 1.2.5.1-1+lenny1 Mono libraries (2.0) ii mono-runtime 1.2.5.1-1+lenny1 Mono runtime gbrainy recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
