I played a variant of Solitaire long ago (20+ years) but don't remember the name of it or the specific rules.  It was played with a single deck of cards, which you held in your hand face down. You drew 4 cards face up, keeping them in that same hand. Cards were removed / discarded through some matching criteria (which I don't remember), and if no cards could be removed, new cards were drawn one at a time. Each time a new card was drawn, the matching criteria were applied again. This repeated until the deck was empty. You won if you were left with no cards in your hand.  I remember it being quite difficult to win, but it was neat in that you didn't need a table or other flat surface. The game was played entirely in your hand(s).
You start flipping cards over one at a time and holding them in one hand. When you have two cards of the same suit that are separated by two other cards (e.g. 4♣ 2♦ 7♥ 10♣), you discard the middle two. When two cards of the same value are separated by two other cards (e.g. 4♣ 2♦ 7♥ 4♥), you discard all four.  This game is neither Accordion nor Royal Marriage, but bears similarities to both. Somebody else  on Yahoo Answers five years ago and the response was unsatisfactory.  If someone can identify this game, I would also like to know what happens when you finish with two cards left: do you win, as in Royal Marriage, or not?
Showing that $\Bbb R[x] / \langle x^2 + 1 \rangle$ is isomorphic to $\Bbb C$ question How to interpret output from Linux 'top' command? $f$ be an analytic function defined on $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ I came across the following problem that says:  Let $f$ be an analytic function defined on $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|&lt;1\}$ such that the range of $f$ is contained in the set $\mathbb{C}\setminus (-\infty,0]$. Then  $f$ is necessarily a constant function. there exists an analytic function $g$ on $\mathbb{D}$ such that $g(x)$ is a square root of $f(z)$ for each $z\in\mathbb{D}$. there exists an analytic function $g$ on $\mathbb{D}$ such that $\operatorname{Re}g(z)\geq 0$ and $g(z)$ is a square root of $f(z)$ for each $z\in\mathbb{D}$. there exists an analytic function $g$ on $\mathbb{D}$ such that $\operatorname{Re}g(z)\leq 0$ and $g(z)$ is a square root of $f(z)$ for each $z\in\mathbb{D}$.   I have to determine which options are correct. Can someone help in the right direction? Thanks in advance for your time.

Workflow for UV orientation How to I deal with unwrapped UVs orientation?   Delete the default Cube. Add a Cylinder Edit mode and edge select the Top and the Bottom and a single connecting edge. Make them into seams UV Unwrap (standard Unwrap mode)   The unwrapped UV now shows two circles above a row of quads. I can save this and open it in an image editor and paint over those areas and get the texture to align on the cylinder back in blender.  But, the pattern(just happens to be text) that was inserted in place of the row of quads is now upside down on the model. Any attempt to flip or align just makes things worse, from upside down to mirrored or the Top/Bottom not aligning.  So my real question is how could I have known that the quads represented an upside down view of the world?  Do other blender users export UVs and mark them with arrows and colours just to see how they align on a model before actually painting for real?  I tried selecting the edges in step 3 in different orders before making them into seams and it made no difference.

Diamond moderator rollbacks can resurrect blacklisted tags Omitting "is", like in "I think it strange" What is the grammar behind the construction "I think it strange/necessary that ...", and when can and cannot this apparent omission of the copula be used? Do we always need the "that" clause?  Also, this seems to be only allowed when the object is a pronoun (it in the above example). That is, we don't say "I think this method strange", correct? In Ubuntu 18.04.1, I would like to use my left Super-key only to simply open the Show Applications menu (aka Dash) like a left click on the dock-icon (with the 9 dots) does and preferably close it again without showing me any open programs.   I can open it with Super + A and even close it again with Super R, but Super L appears to do nothing at all.   In Xfce, something similar was possible by adding a custom keyboard shortcut for Super L and setting the command to xfce4-popup-whiskermenu, which would open and close a menu with favourite applications. Unfortunately, I don't know the command that opens and closes the Show Applications menu.   Is there any way to add such a shortcut in the new Gnome Shell?

A clock near the surface of the earth will run slower than one on the top of the mountain.  If the equivalence principal tells us that being at rest in a gravitational field is equivalent to being in an accelerated frame of reference in free space, shouldn't the clock near the earth run increasingly slower than the other clock over time?  If those two clocks are considered to be in two different frames of acceleration, the one near the earth will have a greater acceleration than the one on the mountain, and thus over time, their relative velocity will increase over time which will increase the time dilation.  Or is this not a proper use of the equivalence principle?

I am having trouble comprehending how anyone could come up with this formula:  $$F = \frac{GMm}{d^2}.$$   Could someone walk me through this? Any group of index 2 is normal I'm trying to understand the proof that any group of index $2$ is normal.   Let $G$ be a group and $H$ a subgroup of index $2$.  I understand that if $x\in H$ then $xH=H=Hx$ since $H$ is a subgroup. However, I don't understand why if $x\in G\setminus H$ then $xH=G\setminus H.$  I know there are other proofs of this on this site but none of them specifically address this question.
