my theory...look inside if you're interested

I've a few theories, but I only remember one...
Huh, my #1 theory
You have a picture frame, which has a resolution of 320x200 and
16bits of colors. You can put any picture into this frame. But there'll always be a limit. What's the limit? The limit is:
320 * 200 * (2^16)
Man, can you count that?
Or a smaller one, say 4x4 pixels with two colors
thus you can have 4*4*2 combinations of pictures, either a box,
a circle, a face or whatever. 4*4*2=32 combinations of pictures

So, my point is, if you have a rather fast video card and cpu, you can write a program looping to display all the combinations, not fooling you, your own face could be there!

Great, huh?

weirdness

I think you have miscalculated this (pretty much).
If you're assumtion is correct a 2x2 pixel frame with two colors would only produce 2x2x2 (=8) different pictures.
The number of different images is in fact 16 (1 with no color, 4 with one pixel colorized, 6 with two pixels colorized, 4 with three pixels, and finally 1 with all four pixels colorized).

Hmm, I think thats more in line with trying to calculate how many
distinquishable patterns one could have.

But you're def right, he did miscalculate.

Lets say a Pixel could be any of N colors. if you have Y pixels, the
total number of color combinations would be N^Y.

With the kind of numbers we're talking about here,
Relativistically, the answer is HUGE, no matter what formula you
use.

However, again, Joacim Andersson touched upon an interesting
question. Lets say you have a line in a pBox, the line being k
pixels in length. Obviously, there are N^k combinations of colors
that can define the line. BUT, the image is visually just a straight
line in a pBox. {Except when the lines pixel colors = the pBox
background color, in which case the recognizable pattern is a
broken line, whose segments are of various lengths.}

So, how can we calculate the number of Recognizable patterns a
pBox can contain?

yeah, he might be right, I blame it on a hurry...

Another little trick, 3 yr old pls do not read, u won't understand

You have a column of chair, there're 8 chairs.
It can be either a boy or girl sitting there, but all the seats must be seated.
In any pattern, say, boy,girl,girl,boy..... or all boy or all girl...
list out the posibilities, can't be wrong 2^8 = 256, that's the answer
how about 16 chairs, 2^16=65536 possibilities
how about 24 chairs,2^24=16.7 million possibilities
how about 32 chairs, hey my head exploded

Some binary geeks may note this, haha

indeed weirdness
What I am talking 'bout the pic frame is:
You may see another world or masterpiece artworks by davinci
or an alien sitting in a toilet or a baby hanging on the ceiling
That is the possibilites you can find in a picture frame,
even 256 colors can generate such enourmous possiblts
how'bout 16.7 million colors?(24bit color)

thats weird :)

Sooooo,
Yes, the possibilities are endless.
What are you getting at?

By the way, stop hogging the doobie!
:D :D :D

lol what was this therey about?

Err... how'bout the multiverse theory or the quantum theory?
Or the time & space stretching theory, relativity, goto future and
past, light speed, possibilites of DNA codes, tonnes of them
Just to tell you guyz life's not easy.
quantum theory says,
whenever you make a decision, another you in another world(parallel world) would make other choice than yours, and having
different consequences. This parallel world is nearly indefinite.
If I wasn't mistaken, some scientists experiment with
cause and consequences.
They shoot a beam through a medium which makes light faster
but the light came out first before they shoot the beam
cosequences before cause, eh?
And lots more!

wow cool

Did you know

Think of a number, with n-digits. Any number.
Did you know that that number exists somewhere in PI? An infinite number of times?

good 1

not endless...atleast on a computer or your eye
only if the colors are limited

BTW, what's outside a universe?

Styrafoam PeaNuts!!!
:D

great! I wanna eat them!
Too bad it's beyond my reach and my mouth isn't that big...sigh
Any ideas?

Well,

I'm sure you can go down to a local packing company. They have
TONS and TONS of emm. You can eat as many of emm as you
want!

I'll prefer burger with kinda modem on it
Okay, no craps anymore
Bawwww

:) :) :) lol
