http://incrementalgrowth.blogspot.com/2011/02/scotts-new-trick.html
Tuesday, February 8, 2011. Little Scott recently learned how to perform arithmetic operations modulo some prime number P. As a training set he picked two sequences a. Generated in the following way:. A4 A5) mod P, for i=3. N. B4 B5) mod P, for j=3. M. Now he wants to find the number of pairs (i, j), where 1 ≤ i ≤ N. And 1 ≤ j ≤ M. For given number L. He asked you to do the same to help him check his answers. The first line of input file consists of a single number T. And positive integer L. 2 ≤ P.

Incremental Growth: November 2009
http://incrementalgrowth.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 24, 2009. I grew up in Raleigh, NC, and my weekends in high school usually included time at All Fun 'n Games in Apex, NC. Now, I sucked. I couldn't draft for the life of me, played loose as hell, and only came out ahead in Constructed because I was playing better decks than half the room since I used the Internet. How can I say no to an old friend? I'm upset that the last time I saw her was probably over a year ago, but if she were still around, I'd thank Bobbie for being a part of my M...

Incremental Growth: Startup LetsDivvy puts Craigslist ad for booth babe at college career fair
http://incrementalgrowth.blogspot.com/2010/10/startup-letsdivvy-puts-craigslist-ad.html
Thursday, October 28, 2010. Startup LetsDivvy puts Craigslist ad for booth babe at college career fair. A crash course in how not to promote your startup: put a job listing on Craigslist not for your actual company, but for a booth babe to work at a university career fair. I found out about it this morning. When I went to look, they had edited their Craigslist post with an apology and their actual job posting. A staff member at UW has posted a PDF of the original post as well. Talk to students and encour...

Incremental Growth: October 2009
http://incrementalgrowth.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. My love affair with Ondu Cleric. And by love affair I mean chance hookup turned into a crazy psychopath who won't stop drunk dialing you. And that I apparently have not been able to get away from despite the mounds of regret the morning after/0-2 later. But I have all these allies like Turntimber Ranger, Umara Raptor, Oran-Rief Survivalist, and Nimana-Sell Sword! They make each other awesome! But how often will you draw them with Ondu Cleric? But I opened three Ondu Clerics!

Tuesday, February 8, 2011. You've decided to make up another string manipulation game instead of paying attention in class. Starting with a string composed entirely of 'a' and 'b' characters, you will iteratively apply the following operation:. For a string s. Choose a character c. That occurs in the substring which begins at zero-based index i. And extends to the index j. Inclusive). Replace all characters in s. With zero-based index in [ i. With a single instance of c. Abb]a → [aa] → a. 1 ≤ len.

Saturday, September 27, 2008. Shards of Alara Prerelease - Sep 27, 2008. I played the Shards of Alara Prerelease at Mike Ongkeco's newly opened card shop. At University Mall beside De La Salle University at Taft Avenue. Apparently, sometimes, thinking positive works, as I was praying and hoping to get a chase rare in my sealed deck card pool. and when I opened my tournament pack and booster packs, I got surprised that I got one of these:. There was then no question that I would be playing RG. :). I drew ...

Thursday, May 7, 2009. Alara Reborn Prerelease - May 3, 2009. Due to Customs issues, the Alara Reborn Prerelease here in Manila was delayed by a week. We were all still up for it though, so Joven and I went to our local store on the day of the Pacquiao-Hatton fight, to feed our MTG addiction. My card pool was weak in all 5 shards, and had very little mana fixing to splash any of my "bombs" on other shards. I ended up playing an RG-heavy Naya deck:. 1 [ALA] Elvish Visionary. 1 [ALA] Sigiled Paladin. 2 Pla...
