Am I stupid? (What is the circumference?)
Please, tag anwsers as spoilers before posting, I still didn't crack it.

@Inginsub
Fuck me, I didn't see it without a paper.
And I had to use an actual equasion. Mark one side (and middle) as 9+x and the second as 9-x
So... 30
Spoiler
@Inginsub
Well, this is what a 3rd grade looks like (supposedly) these days in Czech Republic.
Spoiler
@LukeAlmighty @Inginsub 32 actually
Spoiler
@LukeAlmighty @Inginsub no I did the math off, it's 30
Spoiler
@Inginsub @LukeAlmighty I don't know why in my mind I did a 5+4=10
re: Spoiler
@LukeAlmighty yeah, it's kinda like "clearly not enough data... what's the upper bound?.. oh shit"
re: Spoiler
@Inginsub @LukeAlmighty yeah I just figured it out, that's it
the vertical lines are easy to get-- the left three lines must be the sum of the right three lines. that's 12 units
To get the horizontal lines you have to do some deduction that's kind of hard for me to explain for some reason-- no matter what the dimensions are, they're constrained, and the middle horizontal line is related to the length of the top line. As one shrinks, the other grows at exactly the same rate. So just eliminate the middle line entirely, make it zero, and you deduce that the top line must be 9, which is already the sum of the known-length horizontal lines. That's 18 units and so add them up get 30 whatever this was annoying.

@Inginsub @LukeAlmighty I just realized you could probably also solve it with algebra by giving each term a variable or something
@LukeAlmighty Ugh, don't even get me started on how frustrating it is when people give you a problem to solve, but they don't give you enough information to actually solve it. I mean, seriously, why even bother asking for help if you're not going to give me all the details?
It's not just annoying, it's a complete waste of time. I could be doing something else productive, but instead, I have to spend all this time trying to extract information from the person who posed the question, just so I can begin to solve the problem. And even then, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to come up with a solution, because there might be some crucial piece of information that they're withholding.
It's not just in school or work either, it happens in everyday life too. Like when someone asks for directions, but they don't give you the address or the name of the place they're trying to get to. Or when someone asks for your opinion on something, but they don't give you any context or background information to help you form an informed opinion.
And let's not forget about the dangers of not having enough information in certain situations, like medical emergencies or legal cases. Lives can be put at risk, or justice can be denied, all because someone didn't provide enough information.
It's just so frustrating and disrespectful when people don't take the time to give you all the information you need to solve a problem. It shows a complete lack of consideration for your time and your ability to help them. So, if you're going to ask for help, please, for the love of all that is good and holy, give me all the information I need to solve the problem.
And it's not just about being considerate, it's about being effective. If you want to actually solve the problem at hand, you need to provide all the necessary information. It's like trying to build a puzzle without all the pieces. You can't see the whole picture and you can't complete it without all the pieces.
It's also important to realize that not providing enough information can lead to misunderstandings and miscommunications. If you don't provide enough information, people might make assumptions or fill in the gaps with their own assumptions, which can lead to a completely different understanding of the problem at hand. This can lead to wasted time, effort, and resources, all because someone didn't provide all the necessary information.
Furthermore, when people don't give you enough information, it can make you feel undervalued and disrespected. It's like they don't trust you enough to handle all the information, or they think that you're not smart enough to figure it out. This can lead to feelings of frustration, anger, and resentment.
In conclusion, if you want to get help with a problem, you need to provide all the necessary information. It's not just about being considerate, it's about being effective and efficient. It's about respecting other people's time and expertise, and it's about avoiding misunderstandings and miscommunications. So, if you want to solve a problem, please, just give us all the information we need. It's not that hard, and it will save everyone a lot of time and frustration.
And let's not forget about how not providing enough information can actually harm the situation even further. Imagine a medical emergency where the doctor is not given all the necessary information about the patient's symptoms or medical history. This can lead to misdiagnosis, incorrect treatment, or even worsening of the condition. In some cases, it can even be life-threatening.
Similarly, in legal cases, not providing all the necessary information can lead to incorrect judgments or even wrongful convictions. This can have devastating consequences for the individuals involved, and can even affect entire communities.
Moreover, not providing enough information can also hinder innovation and progress. In research or development, if researchers or developers do not have all the necessary information, they may not be able to come up with the best solutions or ideas. This can limit progress and stifle innovation in various fields.
In essence, not providing enough information is not just an annoyance, it can have serious consequences in many areas of life. It can lead to misunderstandings, mistakes, and even harm to individuals or communities. So, it's important to take the time to provide all the necessary information when presenting a problem to be solved. It's not just the right thing to do, it's also the most effective and efficient way to get things done.

@bajax
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
@LukeAlmighty I ain't tried shit. I don't gotta try
@LukeAlmighty oh I get it... I don't feel like doing the math to get the answer but I get it.
@LukeAlmighty (the middle and top horizontal lines are linked)
Answer (range)
@LukeAlmighty the left and right side are 6 each, but we can't say much for the top and bottom sides, because we don't know how much the 4 and 5 sections overlap.
The top and bottom sides must be longer than 5 and shorter than 9 each.
So the circumference (or perimeter) is in the range 22<P<30
The top and bottom sides must be longer than 5 and shorter than 9 each.
So the circumference (or perimeter) is in the range 22<P<30
@critical
I hate to inform you, that there is enough information to finish the task.
Not enough info
@LukeAlmighty top and bottom are 4+5-x= 9-x
So P=2*6 + 2*(9-x) = 12+18-2*x = 30-2*x
0<x<4
What am I missing?
So P=2*6 + 2*(9-x) = 12+18-2*x = 30-2*x
0<x<4
What am I missing?
Math Spoiler
@critical
Top and botom are both 9-x, but there is also two overlaps, both x long, so the x cancels itself out.
Visually, you can place the 4cm and 5cm walls next to each other, creating a gap on the top the exact length of the horisontal line in the middle.

@critical
I needed a fucking paper... My brain is as smooth as ever.
@LukeAlmighty I thought this was a troll post because you asked for circumference. The right word is perimeter.
ひげ
Definitely the right answer
@LukeAlmighty 15cm
Definitely the right answer
@LukeAlmighty I'm a programmer i don't solve math I create it for a robot to solve xD
@LukeAlmighty just measure it with a ruler???
@LukeAlmighty my answer is that you can't tell because you don't know how long this segment is
@grips
Sorry, but it is possible.
@LukeAlmighty what the fuck?
6*2 + 5 + 4 + ?
probably makes sense but im too drunk to care
@MercurialBlack @LukeAlmighty think about it tomorrow!
@LukeAlmighty ah, I see it now. still, it's pretty nasty, even my maturita wouldn't throw a trick question like this
@grips
Man, I was staring at it for 10 minutes, and it took me to write the variables on paper, before I got it.
@pomstan
Yeah, I have been told, that the correct word is perimeter..
Please, try shitposting in czech for a few hours. I would love to see the results.
@grips @LukeAlmighty @pomstan sounds more like perimeter to me. Circumference is perimeter for a circle
