For fans of challenging puzzles :D

Something around the 5-7th grade level from the physics section:

What will happen to a piece of ice brought into a room with a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius:

1) It will change from a solid state to a liquid state/melt.
2) There will be no changes.
3) Your own option.

P.S. Anyone can repeat offline battles; it's not like online where you only have one attempt.

There will be no changes. Water at 0 C can be in either a solid or liquid state. And even if the room is given a little heat, first all the ice will melt, because the heat will be used not to heat the water, but to break down the crystal lattice, and then the temperature in the room will start to increase.

If you think about it, melting ice absorbs thermal energy. Therefore, the melting process will stop as soon as all the thermal energy in the room is consumed.

It's not specified what size the ice is; perhaps it's so large compared to the room's dimensions that bringing it in would lower the room's temperature. Also, the air pressure isn't mentioned, and the melting point of ice is assumed to be at a specific pressure. It's not indicated whether any excess cold/heat is being removed or not. So, here's my take on it. :)

Gentlemen physicists, here's another problem for you:
how many cases are there in the Russian language?
answer options:
a) seven
b) six
c) what, are there cases in the Russian language?
d) my own answer

Well, as far as I understand, no heat was transferred in that room.

And the piece of ice wasn't very big... and the conditions were normal...

It's not specified what kind of ice it is; maybe it's so huge compared to the size of the room that bringing it in will lower the temperature in the room. Again, the air pressure is not specified, and the melting point of ice is taken at a certain pressure. It is not specified whether the excess cold/heat is removed or not. So, here's my take on it. :)\

I could have come up with something more elaborate, but the basic information is available on Wikipedia.

So, how many?

There used to be 6, but now, with these "reformers" of the Russian language and education, there could be 2 or 18 instead =)

It used to be 6.

It depends on which period you are considering.

How is the AK bothering you: want to - appeal to them, want to - kick them around..
the same applies to any opinion

This is really simple if I interact with the AK from a position of strength - when they can't get at me, but I can get at them.

In forum communication, that's exactly the situation. But when participating in tournaments under the AK's jurisdiction, the situation is reversed.

A Shaolin master is a tough guy, but he would still prefer to run from an aggressive mob with sticks.

I'll try to keep this post very short

1) those who want to play for fun in one direction

2) those who want to sign up for the Olympic reserve school for HoMM in the other

For me, the first option will always be the one. Heroes is a heartfelt pleasure, a pleasant pastime, pleasant conversation partners, etc. - this game doesn't bring any profit, I'd even say it's the opposite, but why doesn't anyone who has taken a liking to it give it up? The thrill of the game, the uncertainty up to a certain point, the intrigue... and always a pleasant pastime...

P.S. each to their own - they'll figure out what interests them

I'll explain again, for the umpteenth time:

Yes, there are people who enjoy the process of horsing around itself. These people are self-sufficient, so they don't stand out, and they don't have much influence on forum matters (because they don't need it).

But the face and content of the forum are people who want something. That is, to achieve something for themselves - it could be a rating, it could be titles, it could be respect for community work, it could be a sense of their own awesomeness, it could be many other things. Profit isn't measured by money alone.

So when someone tells me that the game process itself is important to them, and then in a neighboring topic starts ranting at their season opponent, like "why the hell aren't you confirming the report," I understand that the person is blatantly being hypocritical.

Similarly, if a person says that the main thing is the enjoyment of the game and heartfelt communication, and then starts actively discussing why the HeroesWorld team performed so poorly in the inter-portal event. Isn't it irrelevant how they performed? Does that somehow interfere with heartfelt communication?

In fact, the entire active part of HeroesWorld consists precisely of such people - those who want something. These people embody the forum, they also guide its development, they also create its reputation. It's just that someone creates it through the results of their games, someone through running tournaments, someone through forum fluff.

So, comrade scorp, at least don't try to feed me this nonsense that your only purpose here is to hang out and move horsies around. If that were the case, you wouldn't have joined the AK, you wouldn't be throwing your weight around here at every turn, you would only participate in fun tournaments, you wouldn't show off in front of Navuch, and much more. Plus, I've met you in real life, and if there's one thing I'm very good at, it's determining certain qualities of people by their faces. So you don't need to pretend to be a fluffy little kitten in front of me - I can clearly see the needles under the fur and the hungry growling :)

So, when someone tells me that the process of playing is what matters to them, and then in the next thread, they start berating their opponent in the season for not confirming the report, I understand that the person is being blatantly hypocritical.

The process is important, but the rating still needs to be maintained for several reasons (for example, sometimes you want to argue about something on the forum, but you're met with an unbeatable argument – you don't have enough online wins, you're a noob, and you should just shut up). Besides, it's not your business whether we're playing for the rating or just for fun. But not confirming a report after it's been written and after you promised to confirm it in ICQ is clearly piggish behavior, isn't it? And for your information, I, for example, play a huge number of games not for the rating, but for fun, and I often don't post too easy wins against newbies, and sometimes even against experienced players after they lose. Removing the rating won't significantly reduce the number of games played, believe me. You shouldn't talk about hypocrisy; I'm telling you – when the administration was being nice to you and vigorously defending Vitalik, who you were fiercely accusing, you were all good and innocent. But as soon as they stopped being nice, you started complaining and expressing your dissatisfaction. And honestly, you're just a tiresome nuisance; you should just leave, you're more annoying than bitter radish. Seriously, don't you have enough sense to understand that you can't explain anything to "the mob with pitchforks," or is there nowhere else for you to troll?

Finally, the fans of the Academy faction themselves admitted that they are just a mob with sticks.

By the way, about the "mob with sticks": Pit hinted at the beginning of the year that he's planning a big cup tournament on HeroesWorld.
Nothing heard in that direction? I'd make such a cup for such a Cup :)

Finally, the fans of Academy acknowledged that they are just a mob with sticks.

No, I just urged Vikka to follow his own logic, that's all.

Let him just eliminate another group of favorites.

We're all like that in the Forum... :( (not just Academy fans)... most often, no one can explain anything to anyone :( And "fans" might not even be the right word... Academy isn't a sports team...

Fans aren't about a sports team. It's about fanaticism ;) People have a fanatical devotion to Academy, and that's all.
Regarding explanations... How can you explain something to those who simply don't want to understand? You share your experience, because you've been through it many times, and you try to make sure people don't step on the same rakes that have hit so many people in the past. But there's no effect. But if you don't explain anything at all, then the bumps from those very rakes will definitely appear.
By the way, the opponents of Academy at least argue their position, but on the other side, no arguments are put forward. The exception is Scorp, but he's not even an Academy fan. He is Academy himself :smile41:
