Snood? What's that?
I've been playing the Never Ending LevelGame a lot at http://www.levelgame.net in which the prime target is getting to the next level. But I finished that now and am onto Lemmings, Lemmings Revolution
to be precise. Lemmings are cool!

Finally a game a can relate to! When I was a child I was fascinated and disturbed seeing hundreds of these dudes commit mass suicide. I might even
have had nightmares about it. Like...why don't the others learn from the first guy who goes over the cliff and dies?

Nightmares on Lemmings... gosh. I did have nightmares about Prince of Persia, and lots of them too. And something highly childish called FoulPlay for
8 and up, where you have to solve a murder by walking in a house and clicking on everything. And on Phantasmagoria. And just a few days ago on The 7th
Guest, even though that game never scared me.
It's horrible though, if you've got to nuke em and they all cower in fear... Or in Cascade, where you can save only 10.

A block of diifferent coloured objects all massed together hangs from the top of the game screen. At the bottom is a gun which loads with one of these
coloured objects at a time. When the object is fired at the block it destroys any group of two or more of the same colour. There is meter on the side
which fills up one step at a time and the only way to stop a step is if some coloured objects fall off the block without being destroyed. When the
meter is full, if your next shot doesn't drop any objects intact, the whole block moves down one step. You win the game by making all the objects drop
before any remaining ones get crushed at the bottom.
I like the game because it is not relentless like Tetris. If you don't shoot, nothing happens and you can take as long as you like to think about your
shots.

I haven't played Lemmings for ages. I'm waiting for Psygnosis to produce a version for Mac OS X.

Lemmings is a DOS game... you should be able to get an old-time version and play it in DosBox.
That Snood sounds like a non-timebased version of ZOOP... It's indeed nice if you can think about moves... but in the days when I played Bookworm a
lot (type of Boggle) that usually lead me to long thinking and little playing. Sometimes a game just needs to end.
(recalls the 45-min games of SuperCollapse...)

A zero challenge game where you don't have to do anything. Very funny.

It's about as much a game as your slider avatar... which is not meant to degrade either of them...

I'm not sure that song is entirely accurate in that I don't think the Ancient Greeks would have had the wherewithal to figure out that pi is not
rational. You can keep on constructing rational numbers that get more and more accurate and there's no limit to how accurate they can get. For example
21991/7000 is accurate to 5 decimal places. Thus, they would have easily been able to find rational solutions more accurate than any method available
to them for measurement and so they would have needed some other method to show it was not rational. The proofs are actually quite sophisticated.

That's right...the metric space (Q,d) is not complete, and the sequence of rationals (3, 3.1, 3.14, 3.141, 3.1415...) is the usual example given to
introduce completeness. The sequence is a Cauchy sequence but doesn't converge in (Q,d) because the limit is not rational.
