A little riddle Created 20 years ago2004-12-07 18:24:13 UTC by BrattyLord

alright then, who said:

"All the worlds a stage..."

from what play.

What was his nickname.

Sorry, but i like Shakespear plays.

Here's a riddle for ya:
hat famous person appears at this site and has been wapred several times wink wink

BL: puck prehaps....who knows O.o

nope doodle...

Shakespear suck. I hate theatre.
Anyways, the quote is from "As You Like It" and Jacques sez it.

Spell Shakespeare correctly please.

I never knew there were such nerds here.

Excuse me? Since when has Shakespeare been relegated to nerds? Did you know that his plays were originally written for peasants at a time where plays and drama weren't considered high culture? Think about that!

There is no sure way to spell Shakespeare, I learned last year that he canged the spelling of his name many many time. Some examples were Shakespeare, Shakspear, Sheakspere, even Shakestaff(its true!)

I've only seen it spelt 'Shakespeare' in the published plays, articles and general use. So I don't know...

Shakespeare spelled his name many different ways in his own will, lol.

Even Shaqspear.

BTW, ZL, your right, although I do not agree with your stance on Shakespeare, lol.

Shakespeare is not at all nerdy. He has coined many of the phrases commonly known today, for one example, I'll show the Modern translation:

"Something's rotten in Denmark"

BTW,

Jaques's nickname, given to him by the clown, was monsier melancholy, although my spelling might be a bit harsh.

Bah, shakespeare never wrote any of his plays, it was Francis Bacon.

(Some of the best evidence I found on the web to prove this. Infact, there is hardly any evidence other than speculation that Shakespeare wrote 'Shakespeare's' plays.)

> He lacks the background, breeding, and education to write such astounding lyrics. His plays have a depth and a magnitude so great that only a university-educated man of high status could have. As a matter of fact, his parents and daughters were probably illiterate, let alone able to send him to a university.

> On Shakespeare?s birth certificate, his name is spelled "Shaksper," and six signatures undisputed to be authentic are all spelled differently. Moreover, those six signatures are written in a horrible, virtually illegible scribble?one appearing much closer to that of an illiterate than to that of the most renowned writer ever.

> Shakespeare retired to Stratford in about 1613, at the pinnacle of his career. Why?

> There are portraits of Shakespeare, but none that were done during his lifetime. Why was he not painted, as other authors at his time were?

> His death entry in the parish registry lists him as a "Gent." Not a dramatist, not an actor, but a "Gent." Originally a sack of grain was pictured on his headstone; in 1747 (when Shakespeare was gaining popularity), the sack was replaced with a quill pen. There was not even a eulogy for him the day he died. (Epstein 277-281)

I was under the suspicion that it was Edward De Vere, but a convincing website swayed me otherwise, and BTW, who cares. They all died so long ago. I just read them because they are interesting.

Bah, not when you had to do it at school. I see it as a load of boloney.

Bratty, that's Macbeth, isn't it? Something about 'but poor players'?

I loved that one

Plus isn't it "rotten in the state of Denmark"?

"As You Like it", Shakespear's sensless comedy was where Jaques gives the most famous Shakespear speach besides, "To be or not to be, that is the question, whether tis nobler..."

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. First,..."

It goes on a while...

Plus isn't it "rotten in the state of Denmark"?

yes, but I did the American translation of it,

The quote was by one of Hamlet's friends who were on guard I believe, its been awile since I read that one;

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark",

Which evolved into "Somthin's rotten in Demark".

BTW, Macbeth is a very... uh... murderous play... hehe...

Even Macbeth's wife gets in on the whole murder thing.

I know.

I'm sure he uses the "world's a stage" in Macbeth. I'll check...

Here:

"[but poor players that strut and fret their hours upon the stage, and then are heard no more. Their tale is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing]" (adapted from Macbeth, Act V Scene V).

Good ol' Macbeth. Quite a good play.

King Lear should prove to be a great read though...

Here guys try this one out--

There is a circular jail with 100 cells numbered 1-100. Each cell has an inmate and the door is locked. One night the jailor gets drunk and starts running around the jail in circles. In his first round he opens each door. In his second round he visits every 2nd door (2,4,6---) and shuts the door. In the 3rd round he visits every 3rd door (3,6,9---) and if the door is shut he opens it, if it is open he shuts it. This continues for 100 rounds (i.e. 4,8,12 ---; 5,10,15 ---; ---; 49,98 etc.) and exhausted the jailor falls down. How many prisoners found their doors open after 100 rounds?

Very brave new world...

"All the world's a stage" was origionally from "As You Like It", told by Jaques! Monsier melocholy!

It was reeealy long, and went through the 7 ages of man, from a pucking baby, all the way to an old puking man.

Read "As You Like It", its pointless, but I'm sure Jaques will add some insight into your life. He is the only character in their worth reading it for, though he plays a minor part. The clown is just funney, as they tend to be, and everyone else is just stupid.

I've never read "Kind Leer", Hrmph...

Now I gotta go read another one...

who am i :

the -e^(i*pi)

to win post the proof of how you simplyfied the question

let some non mathmatical person try it, anyone who knows math really well will know this one so give someone else a try, or just wait a little to see the funny replies

oh and to narrow it down it is a charcter from a movie, a good one

the one, it's easy. I didn't even bother with the math problem.
PS; curse you for reviving threads!

i dont get it

post the proof

or i will if u cant

This may look better in a plain text editor with no text wrapping

Here is the famous proof

e^(x) = 1 + x + (x^2)(2!) + (x^3)(3!) + (x^4)/4! + (x^5)/5! + (x^6)/6! ?

e^(ix) = 1 + ix + ((ix)^2)(2!) + ((ix)^3)(3!) + ((ix)^4)/4! + ((ix)^5)/5! + ((ix)^6)/6! ?

e^(ix) = 1 + ix + (i^2x^2)(2!) + (i^3x^3)(3!) + (i^4x^4)/4! + (i^5x^5)/5! + (i^6x^6)/6! ?

e^(ix) = 1 + ix - (x^2)(2!) ? i(x^3)(3!) + (x^4)/4! + i(x^5)/5! ? (x^6)/6! ?

e^(ix) = 1 - (x^2)(2!) + (x^4)/4!? (x^6)/6! ? + i * ( x ? (x^3)(3!) + (x^5)/5!? )

e^(ix) = cos(x) + I(sin(x))

let x = pi

e^(ix) = -1 + I*0

e^(ix) = -1

-e^(ix) = 1

hence the 1 = the one = neo

Well, that was pointless.

you owe me the last 5 minutes of my life back.

agreed. Hand it over...

how is the most famous math proof ever pointless

Because it is.

Owned.
Maths is just pointless.
You are never going to use like 97% of it. Ever.

Because it is

To elaborate:

Err.. Any math proof that ends with "Neo" "the one" came from some "Matrix" fanboy.

In math, The Matrix is simply a table of figures (essentially) - pretty boring really, but since most people don't know what a Matrix is, they assume its something really smart and complicated, and elevate its status to something "scientifically mystical"

Lets face it, Scientific terms nowadays are "in" since a lot of people don?t understand them, and they often have a good sound to them.

This is just the product of human inquisitiveness and the desire not to know all the facts, to leave room for imagination.

If everyone knew exactly what a matrix was, then i doubt the filmmakers would have called it that.

I mean, who would get exited about a movie called "The Trigonometry"

Nobody (apart from someone who has no idea what trigonometry is)

We know enough about trigonometry to dismiss any potential mystique value the term has. Hence, making it instantly boring.

[/RANT]

IGNORANCE IS STRENGHT

G_kid got there before me in reply to that: You sir, need a math book down your throat.

W00teh!

i use math in my programs a little, but just simple calculus at the most, i may make a program to caculate how the computer calculates sines and that would involve some of the hardest math i know
