g1 g2 g3 d1 d2 d3 q1 Descent Into the Depths of the Earth [ 2 ] is an adventure module for the Dungeons & Dragons ( D&D ) fantasy roleplaying game coded D1–2. It was written by Gary Gygax , and combines two previously published modules from 1978, the original Descent into the Depths of the Earth and Shrine of the Kuo-Toa .
In algebraic terms, doubling a unit cube requires the construction of a line segment of length x, where x 3 = 2; in other words, x = , the cube root of two. This is because a cube of side length 1 has a volume of 1 3 = 1, and a cube of twice that volume (a volume of 2) has a side length of the cube root of 2.
Graphical depiction of the 4 data bits d 1 to d 4 and 3 parity bits p 1 to p 3 and which parity bits apply to which data bits. In coding theory, Hamming(7,4) is a linear error-correcting code that encodes four bits of data into seven bits by adding three parity bits.
If the group of operations on a single polytope of an n-dimensional puzzle is defined as any rotation of an (n – 1)-dimensional polytope in (n – 1)-dimensional space then the size of the group, for the 5-cube is rotations of a 4-polytope in 4-space = 8×6×4 = 192, for the 4-cube is rotations of a 3-polytope (cube) in 3-space = 6×4 = 24,
A 1953 paper "Coding by Feedback Methods" [1] describes "decoding networks" that convert numbers (in any base) represented by voltage sources or current sources connected to resistor networks in a "shunt resistor decoding network" (which in base 2 corresponds to the binary-weighted configuration) or in a "ladder resistor decoding network" (which in base 2 corresponds to R–2R configuration ...
Consider three colored blocks (red, green, and blue), initially placed in the order RGB. The symmetric group S 3 is then the group of all possible rearrangements of these blocks. If we denote by a the action "swap the first two blocks", and by b the action "swap the last two blocks", we can write all possible permutations in terms of these two ...
However, this geometric equivalence between L 1 and L ∞ metrics does not generalize to higher dimensions. A sphere formed using the Chebyshev distance as a metric is a cube with each face perpendicular to one of the coordinate axes, but a sphere formed using Manhattan distance is an octahedron : these are dual polyhedra , but among cubes ...
Hoffman's packing puzzle is an assembly puzzle named after Dean G. Hoffman, who described it in 1978. [1] The puzzle consists of 27 identical rectangular cuboids, each of whose edges have three different lengths. Its goal is to assemble them all to fit within a cube whose edge length is the sum of the three lengths. [2] [3]
