Dear reader, if you find yourself thinking about posting private group-buy codes in public, just rememberā¦ PURULENT GENITAL FURUNCLES.
Maybe karma exists, maybe it doesnāt. But if genital furuncles are involved, is it really worth finding out?
No, there isnāt another round of PMs coming. The list doesnāt have data on who wants which emitter, and itād be a little rude or spammy to send messages to everyone again. So itās probably best to keep an eye on FW3A news, because SST-20 should be announced when itās ready.
Last I heard, I think Neal found a FD2 tint bin. Hopefully itāll be a little more rosy than the FB4 bin found earlier.
The elliptical one is the best choice for biking. Thatās what Iām using on my bike, anyway.
I like saying your name. Itās a fun word.
Iām quoting this because thatās a great article.
Most of us donāt really need it. To merely fill a need, we could go to a local shop for whatever cheap light they have. But there are plenty of other valid reasons to get one. Iām guessing the majority of us are here because we enjoy it, not because we actually need more lights.
However, that saidā¦ I use this particular light a lot. It gets more runtime than the entire rest of my collection, unless I count the Q8 I use as a bedside candle.
Although few would admit it, thatās probably the reason why many people are here. Sometimes a light in the darkness is exactly what we need, even if itās not strictly for the purposes of seeing at night. Because what we have here is a community, and it serves a lot of purposes which arenāt strictly about converting electrons into photons.
As a hint, there are actually 24 or 26 scenarios, depending on which version of the puzzle is attempted. But it may be possible to reduce it to 12 or 13 scenarios and still fill the requirements, which Random Dan may have done.
Iāll run this through my test script to check it. Even if the script reports failed cases, it looks pretty close. I expect there should be at least one solution which can identify the fake but canāt determine whether itās lighter or heavierā¦ but at a glance, Iām not totally sure if youāve found such a thing or not.

I thought the specification said we only needed to identify the coin, not necessarily determine light or heavy. The only stone which I could identify as the misfit but not classify as light or heavy would be 13 since I never weighed it. I could fix that and then Iād need to use the dummy weight.
Yeh, just 4 and I was working to 12 diamonds. After seeing Danās first 2 answers I went back and checked mine again and of course discovered it was flawed. I was only half heartedly thinking about it then. Luckily at that point I got saveā¦ err ā¦ I mean distracted by the family The more I look at it the more I come to the conclusion itās out of my league
Well put, I signed up here for GB deal but I enjoy some of the banter that goes on around here, and Iāve learned a thing or two. The collaborative nature of the projects and the friendly environment is why I keep coming back. You and all those involved who keep BLF what is right now is very much appreciated.
I remember this puzzle from 40 years or so ago. Itās been decades since I did it but I seem to recall coming up with 2 different solutions to it. Then again I could be wrong there
4 on each side of scale. If balanced then the 4 left has the odd diamond and those 8 are neutrals. Then 3 neutrals and three of the 4 left are weighed. If balanced the one remaining is the odd one. If unbalanced (you will now know if its light or heavy)take two neutrals and one of the 3 left on each side of the scale. If balanced the remaining one is it. Unbalanced the one that is heavier or lighter is the one.
If the scale on the first weigh is unbalanced the remaining 4 are your neutrals. Then I have no clue how to find the odd one in two more weighings.
Just curious (not trying to āstir the potā or cause any chaos. I donāt mind another few month wait) : how many lights actually existed [in their retail packaging, ready to ship out] when the sale went live?
Iām pretty sure that āexact numberā is unknown to anyone here on BLF & will likely remain that way.
But this should give some idea. It was stated that Neal had āsomeā on hand & LT would be delivering 200 more that would be shipped out after the Holiday. Besides that, unknown.
Iāll try & find that post about āsome onhand & 200 moreā. Iāll post it when I do.
Seems like a small number then. Does that mean good news for the firmware bug? That itās limited to āsome on hand and 200 moreā? Or is there a huge stockpile of drivers, all with the FW bug and the exact lot of lights each of ours come from wonāt matter in that regard, theyāll all be effected?
