ricochet?

It is very similar to Yang Hui’s square, which was created in China about 250 years before Dürer’s time. As with every order 4 normal magic square, the magic sum is 34. But in the Durer square this sum is also found in each of the quadrants, in the center four squares, and in the corner squares (of the 4×4 as well as the four contained 3×3 grids). This sum can also be found in the four outer numbers clockwise from the corners (3+8+14+9) and likewise the four counter-clockwise (the locations of four queens in the two solutions of the 4 queens puzzle), the two sets of four symmetrical numbers (2+8+9+15 and 3+5+12+14), the sum of the middle two entries of the two outer columns and rows (5+9+8+12 and 3+2+15+14), and in four kite or cross shaped quartets (3+5+11+15, 2+10+8+14, 3+9+7+15, and 2+6+12+14). The two numbers in the middle of the bottom row give the date of the engraving: 1514. It has been speculated that the numbers 4,1 bordering the publication date correspond to Durer’s initials D,A. But if that had been his intention, he could have inverted the order of columns 1 and 4 to achieve “A1514D” without compromising the square’s properties.

i skipped the “floating” and “rock” to comment on the “middle of space” 😅

hello,
can you choose “link” from the options instead of “image” when you’re posting?

Some of the main themes of Supreme’s campaigns are instituting a mandatory tooth brushing law, giving every American a free pony, using zombies for renewable energy, zombie apocalypse awareness, and time travel research.

😁

“middle” is an overstatement

rss?

you’re fooling yourself

😅

basically yes

unless you need to change the chain too for a longer one

well, i’ll be damned!

ARTHUR:  Old woman!
DENNIS:  Man!
ARTHUR:  Man.  Sorry.  What knight live in that castle over there?
DENNIS:  I’m thirty-seven.
ARTHUR:  I-- what?
DENNIS:  I’m thirty-seven.  I’m not old.
ARTHUR:  Well, I can’t just call you ‘Man’.
DENNIS:  Well, you could say ‘Dennis’.
ARTHUR:  Well, I didn’t know you were called ‘Dennis’.
DENNIS:  Well, you didn’t bother to find out, did you?
ARTHUR:  I did say ‘sorry’ about the ‘old woman’, but from the behind you    looked–
DENNIS:  What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an inferior!
ARTHUR:  Well, I am king!
DENNIS:  Oh king, eh, very nice.  And how d’you get that, eh?  By exploiting    the workers!  By 'anging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates    the economic and social differences in our society.  If there’s ever going    to be any progress with the–
WOMAN:  Dennis, there’s some lovely filth down here.  Oh!  How d’you do?
ARTHUR:  How do you do, good lady.  I am Arthur, King of the Britons.  Who’s castle is that?
WOMAN:  King of the who?
ARTHUR:  The Britons.
WOMAN:  Who are the Britons?
ARTHUR:  Well, we all are.  We are all Britons, and I am your king.
WOMAN:  I didn’t know we had a king.  I thought we were an autonomous collective.
DENNIS:  You’re fooling yourself.  We’re living in a dictatorship.  A self-    perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes–
WOMAN:  Oh, there you go, bringing class into it again.
DENNIS:  That’s what it’s all about.  If only people would hear of–
ARTHUR:  Please, please good people.  I am in haste.  Who lives in that castle?
WOMAN:  No one live there.
ARTHUR:  Then who is your lord?
WOMAN:  We don’t have a lord.
ARTHUR:  What?
DENNIS:  I told you.  We’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune.  We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
ARTHUR:  Yes.
DENNIS:  But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting–
ARTHUR:  Yes, I see.
DENNIS:  By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,–
ARTHUR:  Be quiet!
DENNIS:  But by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major–
ARTHUR:  Be quiet!  I order you to be quiet!
WOMAN:  Order, eh?  Who does he think he is?  Heh.
ARTHUR:  I am your king!
WOMAN:  Well, I didn’t vote for you.
ARTHUR:  You don’t vote for kings.
WOMAN:  Well, how did you become king then?
ARTHUR:  The Lady of the Lake,…
   [angels sing]
   …her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur.
   [singing stops]
   That is why I am your king!
DENNIS:  Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR:  Be quiet!
DENNIS:  Well, but you can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just    'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR:  Shut up!
DENNIS:  I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!
ARTHUR:  Shut up, will you.  Shut up!
DENNIS:  Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR:  Shut up!
DENNIS:  Oh!  Come and see the violence inherent in the system!  Help, help!    I’m being repressed!
ARTHUR:  Bloody peasant!
DENNIS:  Oh, what a give-away.  Did you hear that?  Did you hear that, eh! That’s what I’m on about.  Did you see him repressing me?  You saw it, didn’t you?

Hicks found no record of the person whose remains the skull-cup was made from, although carbon dating showed the skull is about 225 years old. Its size and circumstantial evidence suggest it came from the Caribbean and possibly belonged to an enslaved woman, he added.
