Gregor's Ultimate Secret Santa Thread

[NanTheDark]

I haven't beaten it yet... but thanks for the gift, Shroom. I really appreciate it.

[Awesomeguy 99]

Hey awesomeguy, I don't own a Wii U or Super Mario Maker so I can't enjoy it unfortunately, but thanks for the gift still!

Oh...


I probably should have discreetly asked that.
It's the thought that counts I guess?

[Supershroom]

Well nin, I give you until the 13th (one week after Epiphany). If you fail to deliver something until then, I'll prepare some sweet mathematical stuff for MK to round this up.

Here's a suggestion, awesomeguy 99. See if you can figure out how to get some screenshots of the level, and give those to FF.

That's fine, MK deserves something in the meantime while I work on a more ambitious gift

So! Time to wrap this up, preliminarily at least!

Here's my little math thingy for MK.

Three shorties: show

(1) What is more likely after all cards are dealt out for Bridge: That you and your partner have all Spade cards or that you and your partner have no Spade card?

(2) When you take three bananas from a shrub with thirteen bananas, how many bananas do you have?

(3) A secretary prints six computer letters and addresses six covers to the respective recipients. The chief interferes hastily and puts the letters totally randomly into the covers (you notice, he's a CEO of Evil!). What is the probability that exactly five letters are in the correct cover?

Three jokes: show

(1) A mathematician wants to hang up his newest proof as a picture on the wall. Apparently, noone assists him on cloutting the nail into the wall. And so he takes hammer and nail and holds the nail with its head towards the wall. Just where he wants to slam, he looks exactly and stops short. He ponders and ponders. After five minutes he got it: "This is a nail for the opposite wall!"

(2) A biologican, a physician and a mathematician sit in the train and ride through Scotland. During the ride they see a black sheep on the lawn, and the biologican says: "Oh, I see that all scottish sheep are black." The physician: "No, you mean that some scottish sheep are black." The mathematician: "No! We only know that in Scotland there exists a sheep which is black on at least one side."

(3) Infinitely many mathematicians walk into a bar. The first says, "I'll have a beer." The second says, "I'll have half a beer." The third says, "I'll have a quarter of a beer." The barman pulls out just two beers. The mathematicians are all like, "That's all you're giving us? How drunk do you expect us to get on that?" The bartender says, "Come on guys. Know your limits."

Another infinite number of mathematicians walks into the bar. The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third orders a third of a beer. The bartender bellows, "Get the hell out of here, are you trying to ruin me?"

And here's my gift from FF! Right in my sigbar!

Just now saw this thread, I'll try to get some screenshots through Miiverse.

Now, at this point Nin told me that his project for MK turned more and more into a personal stuff for him, and he will finish it through PM. So now that all people are actually gifted, this is concluded!

Thanks to everyone who participated, we've got a nice bunch of gifts. Until the next year, hosting this was both challenging and fun.
