Re: Animal Math

great! I love this

Re: A Simple Equation

I really wasn't going to submit this derby, but I had this from a daily sub, so...

Was really busy working on our family's xmas card.

Clearly, where the hell is a duck button on a calculator device-jeeze
I mean hey this shirt was quacktastic but it could have been sooo much more with say a pumpkin and a pi joke....get it pi not pie hahahahahha

Re: 101

Ummmm.....what?

Re: Numbirds

Hilarious this deserves the fog of war!

I see what you did there. +1

Re: Schrödinger's Equation

I'd definitely buy this if Schroedinger's equation is fixed at the bottom. If not...I don't intend to be ridiculed by my entire physics department.

And actually, upon further examination of the entire shirt, every h should be turned into an hbar.

Surprised this didn't get hit with "Outside the printable area" yet...

Re: Schrödinger's Equation

This is a smart shirt. So similar designs have been done before...but seriously? The time it took to get the equation and make it fit-

I'd wear this AND I'd make my students wear it!

In a BOX!

Re: sPiral

Dude this shirt is awesome! I would wear this one out if I owned it.

That would be biology... ish. It's a cute shirt, but since the design could be on any color I think I would have gone with something more fun.

I know, if it was on a bright color people would be saying they wished it was on a color they would wear, like brown- there's no winning.

Triple checked? -shudder-
It is beautiful, GMV
:-)

aarrun wrote:I have to disagree. I think it's only arbitrary if you DO understand what the golden ratio is. The golden ratio exists many places in nature, but it does not relate to this moonscape. You have to understand the mathematics to know why this design is pointless.

It's a beautiful moonscape, but I will be sad if art wins out over logic yet again in a cerebral-themed derby.

Art and logic can coexist. This shirt represents how the golden ration is found in nature in a more subtle way.

The same artist made this shirt and the nautilus shirt? Way to knock this derby out of the park!

I love this, but would love it more if the spider had all his legs.

georgemil wrote:And actually, upon further examination of the entire shirt, every h should be turned into an hbar.

Oh, that would have to be fixed.

I can't believe this shirt is so controversial! I, for one, like when the words (or equation) makes up an image. It takes a lot of time to get it just right, and shows how the concept comes straight from the math (or words). It shows how people have the remarkable ability to view, or create, a bunch of squiggly lines that take form in our minds as a real concept.

There is clearly an image here, or did people miss the cat? Just because text creates the design doesn't mean that it's not there. The fact that you can say "that shirt has a cat on it" means that there is a design element to the shirt.

Yes, Nevermore also used the same method of creating an image, but it would be a shame if the technique had to die out on shirt.woot just because it was used once.

Re: Conducting the Aurora

Ah...the Music of the Spheres. This is a great take on G/E/B...but I'm wondering if, in the execution, it's going to look like someone reaching up to grope the boobs of the wearer? Or using the baton to point out some sort of anatomical oddity...

Re: The Divine Prrrrrrrrrportion!

Must have! I've been disappointed in the last few derbies that I had a major favorite in, so I hope this derby won't be another one of those times!

jeff84401 wrote:Beware of artists trying to correct your math.... Your equation is fine, units check.

But, FWIW, you'd still suck at this game because your equation--while fine--is written in terms of V, and not in terms of mm stretched (or how far back you pull the sling to generate a given velocity for a given sized projectile). Work on that and you have something, my friend....

Anyway, great shirt. GMV.

when you go into displacement and force, you begin to start treating the rubber band as a spring with a given spring constant K. Then you go thru the whole F=-Kdx, a rubber bands K value can not be treated as a true spring for this application, blah, blah, blah. Its def easier to approach it with a given velocity and angle to determine distance traveled. Way easier to approach the angle at know release points with know velocities

Re: Schrödinger's Equation

Wow, there are some crazy sour grapes out there! The more I see Ramy's designs do well, the more nastiness seems to emerge. Legit critiques are one thing, but some of that commentary comes straight from a middle school bully mindset. Disagree, but have some respect, people. Ick.

mmmmm...tastes kinda... bitter.

Re: The Divine Prrrrrrrrrportion!

this is my favorite, i have seen other davinci designs, but this is the cutest. i wants it to print so bad.

But then of course African Swallows are non-migratory.

Re: Animal Math

That duck sure does seem to get around.......

What does it mean?

Re: Grip it by the husk

Nice, makes me sad that I missed the earlier version of this shirt.

Re: The Golden Seed V2

What is the minimum size print (in pixels at 300 dpi)? The font I used is courier 12-point bold.

tigerraptor wrote:Green is the result of codominance. Not entirely sure how it works out to be green, as it involves the expression of both phenotypes, but whatever, that's what I assume the guy is going for. Either way, voted for it, will totally wear it to my Mol.Gen. final if it wins.

Example all of you will suddenly remember from high school biology: Tulips. Red + white tulips (red being dominant and white being recessive) result in pink tulips in heterozygous combinations.

Honestly though, it's irrelevant to ask "why do blue and red genes together make green?" Genetic inheritance is incredibly complicated topic, and the simple answer of "combining two colors makes a combination of those two colors" is clearly overly simplistic in the case of Mario Kart shells.

We could be seeing a case of incomplete dominance (rather than codominance), where certain aspects of each shell color carry through when the two are combined, but not the colors as a whole (only the hues necessary to create green).

It could be environmental factors at work, think in terms of a phenotype rather than a genotype. Perhaps the green shells were a healthy purple at birth, but something to do with the pigment as it interacts with the race tracks turns them into a shade of green later in life.

Perhaps even we are seeing a polygenic trait here, such as eye color, which is dramatically effected by outside genes as well (though if this is the case the Punnett Square is woefully incomplete).

Regardless, simply because the gene inheritance seems illogical to the lay observer does not mean it lacks an underlying rationale.

Oh, and GMV.

This is fairly awesome work! It's a pity it was posted so late. :< Hopefully it can do well regardless.

You know, I liked this derby idea. But I see it is going to be ruined again with dumb jokes involving cute animals that are off topic. This is adding, not mathematics. Try again.
I say this as a physicist who has studied mathematics and chaos in depth. Trust me, there are better ideas out there.

Re: learning experience

i don't really understand what is going on

Re: Bee-ometry

i really like the chalkboard not so sure about the teacher though...

Re: Flying Lessons

Hey, I like the idea, but I think the art style is just so unoriginal. This is like every other woot-shirt-with-a-cute-animal-on-it, yah know? No offense. I just kind of wish there was more variance in art styles in the derby each week.
Good job though!

Re: Everything is Gold

I love this shirt so much! If it doesn't return to fog of war/win then you should think about putting this somewhere else! So many people would buy it!

Re: Animal Math

regardless of the whole off-topic debate going on here, the real problem with this shirt is that its anteater + porcupine = echidna, no duck in there at all...

sagakun wrote:Originality, at least in relation to his other subs, is pretty much irrelevant. What matters is whether people like the design. Which reminds me... to all you Ramyb haters out there who complain that he has a shirt or 3 in the Fog every week, remember the Derby is based solely on votes, so unless he's employing a crack team of highly trained monkeys with individual Woot! accounts, he's making it to the top fair and square every time. If he subs several shirts each week, who cares? He's allowed to be prolific. If he gets the votes he gets the votes.

Anyway, great subs this week. +1'd most of em. Cheers!

My personal issue with the amount of designs that he puts up on a typical week is that at least one, if not multiple, of his designs suffer from some basic artistic issues (perspective, lighting, etc.) that aren't just explained away by style. If he took the time he spent on three designs to polish and get one to look the best it can, then I would probably feel a lot better about how his multiple entries. It's not even pure Ramy hate. It's the fairly safe assumption that Ramy would be able to fix the completely valid critiques of flaws in most of his designs if he spent the time on them that is taken away because of the amount he is trying to submit.

Also, I wouldn't move the goal posts. We're all quite aware of how Woot works, but if there is a debate of some sort over originality, then the answer isn't "it doesn't matter because they get votes anyway." That's like debating whether Michael Bay is an innovative director and then saying "Doesn't matter, he makes plenty of money."

Re: Schrödinger's Equation

Love it, would buy it over and over and over agian.

Re: Probability Of A Blue Spiny

This is Fantastic!!

Re: Bird Range

The only problem with this, is that it assumes you're aiming at a pig at the same height as the launch point.

Re: Bird Range

I had a similar concept but couldn't find the time to do it, so I'm glad that someone did it justice. GMV +1
