@purplephish Cheerilee! :D

@yodelerty Aside from from spike talking to her in that newish episode, was cheerilee ever named onscreen? Or was that just the name hasbro had in the website? I've never noticed

@purplephish You don't really need anymore than one mention in the show for it to be canon.
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:03:16 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Yes but this 1 mention was that new episode which name escapes me (grown up spike) and her name was established a freaking year ago
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:04:36 UTC from web-
@purplephish True, but only because she looked similar to a G3 pony, IIRC.

@yodelerty 5/8 of the rocks on Pinkie Pie's farm are igneous. 2/9 of the remaining rocks are metamorphic. There are 48 more igneous rocks than sedimentary rocks. If there are only igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks on Pinkie Pie's farm, and she throws a party for each one, how many parties must Pinkie Pie throw?
Monday, 02-Jan-12 15:51:14 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin All of them.
Monday, 02-Jan-12 15:52:12 UTC from web -
@thelastgherkin 124.

@thelastgherkin Shoot. My algebra skills are slipping.
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:04:15 UTC from web-
@yodelerty @colfax @princesstwilight The correct answer was 144, providing all of the rocks have an individual and unique birthdate.

@princesstwilight If 2/9 of 3/8 are metamorphic, that is 1/12 of the whole. This is equal to 8/96. The portion that is igneous is 60/96. This means the remaining (sedimentary) portion is 28/96. If there are 48 more igneous than sedimentary rocks, 48 = 32/96. Seeing as this is one third of the whole, the total amount of rocks is 48 x 3 = 144. Pinkie would have to throw 144 individual parties if each rock has an individual birthday.

@thelastgherkin There's where I made my error: I did 2/9 x 5/8 instead of 3/8. Bleh, I'm too tired to do math.
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:09:45 UTC from web-
@yodelerty In theory, any answer less than 144 is correct. But you would have to have stated the assumption that there are ten sets of twins to answer with 124.
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:16:10 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Not necessarily twins. The rocks could have just been born on the same date, but be completely unrelated.
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:19:03 UTC from web-
@yodelerty You're just trying to outsmart me because you got the question wrong.
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:21:05 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Yes. Yes I am. >_>
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:24:33 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Aww, that's OK. I still love you.
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:38:48 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Aww, thanks. :3 BTW, new tag for group should be secretgiraffun.
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:40:49 UTC from web-
@yodelerty !giraffes wants to learn !secretgiraffun! But !giraffes can't learn more than four tags! Delete an old tag to make way for !secretgiraffun?
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:43:46 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Ooh... hard to decide. Your call, group leader!
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:45:04 UTC from web-
@yodelerty !giraffes forgot !giraffe... but !giraffes learned !secretgiraffun!
Monday, 02-Jan-12 16:47:00 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Huzzah! :D

@princesstwilight Not without mentioning an assumption!

@princesstwilight I'm not sure I understand where the trolling is in me asking someone who isn't you a maths question and you getting it wrong.
