Jacula

ta6/39 - sounds like 'hilltop' + 'not wet'.

3:40 am

Dayners

yup
ta 6/39 is cheap, gaudy

3:44 am

micamonkey

thanks got it

4:01 am

hydra

Help! Monkey fingers have failed. Any clues for the
o word please?

4:02 am

micamonkey

hydra, it rhymes with today

4:02 am

Jacula

of4/9 - Think original actress in 'King Kong' or 'Bonnie' (Clyde's girl).

4:03 am

hydra

Doh! We had that one the other day, didn't we? I forgot.
Many thanks, Jacula.

4:05 am

Jacula

It's the 'ik' word that's got me puzzled.

4:06 am

micamonkey

jacula, its a kind of indonesian batik

4:06 am

Jacula

It isn't the Swedish furniture company! LOL.

4:06 am

micamonkey

lol no jacula, its not THAT furniture company lol

4:08 am

Jacula

Got it! Thanks Mica. Realised what it was when I picked up the cat food to feed the moggies. LOL.

4:14 am

Eva

Oooh, beautiful icons. Last night I couldn't acces the site for hours. Anyone else have trouble? This morning I can't seem to access my brain. Has anyone seen it. Do you know how to reload? Maybe some more sleep? Does one have to speal Welsh to solve this one?

4:15 am

micamonkey

lol jacula glad u got it but for the life of me i couldnt think of what triggered it off ;)

4:18 am

Jacula

Well, that's me all done. Thanks for the help.:-) I'll be in and out for clue-giving.

Eva - No Welsh today, but knowledge of India might be a help.;-)

4:19 am

Jacula

Si6/21 & its plural. Only got this because I'm a knitter. Never knew that brand name stood for that. You learn something new every day.:-)

4:21 am

Haz1558

The si words are a revelation to me, as well!

4:22 am

Jacula

Hi Haz. Glad it wasn't just me!

4:23 am

Haz1558

It had never occurred to me that it was anything other than someone's surname.

4:23 am

micamonkey

ah finished :)
the si6 and 7 were my last words :)

4:24 am

Jacula

Haz - There's often more to product names than we realise, especially old ones. 'Ambrosia' rice, for instance.

4:24 am

micamonkey

i think thism ust be my fastest puzzle ever...
according to the log
2.51am tbear says hi to me, 4.23am i'm done! haha

4:24 am

Haz1558

Well done, mica!

4:24 am

Jacula

Congrats, Mica. Thanks again for the help.

4:25 am

micamonkey

and i only used a2z for 10 words *phew*
the babble board was kind to me today ehhe

no prob jacula
think i better skip off to study now :D
last exam on thur!

4:25 am

Jacula

Still on the subject of names - 'Argos'. 'A ship laden with treasure'. Branders are often quite clever.

4:26 am

Jacula

Good luck, Mica! TTFN.

I'm off to make fruit salad and a boozy fruit jelly, and to marzipan the Christmas cakes.

4:27 am

Haz1558

I'll probably sound a terrible snob, but a shipful of treasures wouldn't spring to mind with 'Argos'.

4:28 am

Jacula

Haz - ROFLOL. You mean you're not looking forward to a sackful of Lizzie Duke bling off Santa? Tee, hee.

4:29 am

Haz1558

Funnily enough, my husband drew my attention to the TV advert for the jewellery, querying why you would buy jewellery from Argos. I sweetly informed him that it would be thrown at him if he ever did such a thing!

4:30 am

Jacula

Time I was off for now. I need to give the 2 long-haired guinea pigs a hairdressing session before I start on the culinary creations. No, I'm NOT adding the piggies to the jelly! LOL. If you hear screaming it'll just be the piggies. They make a right fuss about having their lugs removed.

4:32 am

Haz1558

I've just received samples of Garnier Fructis Repair and Shine for dried out, rough, damaged hair. Would that help?

4:34 am

Jacula

Haz - Well, they're both ladies and they love fruit. Thanks. I'll try it on them.:-))))

4:34 am

Haz1558

Bye, Jacula - I'm going as well to tackle the housework. See you all later.

5:08 am

Eva

jacula, love the image of you combing out your piggies! Does the hair rescuer really work? Could use some myself.

6:05 am

FMitch

My goodness, don't think I have seen the log so quiet, everyone must just be enjoying the beauty of all the fractals!

6:06 am

mummy

How many words today please?

6:07 am

FMitch

138 today

6:07 am

speedfreak

good morning all: grabbing the puzzle before work, always hard to go back after a mini break...

6:08 am

Poo's Mom

hi FMitch, speedfreak & mummy! trying to get what words i can... poo and i are going to tour her campus today and mustn't be ta5/16 :D

6:10 am

FMitch

Love your icon Poos mom! and hi to you and speed.

6:11 am

Poo's Mom

Thx! I had lots of funny looking for fractals...then couldn't decide which one to use

6:12 am

FMitch

Same here, so I decided togo for natures fractal - a snowflake :)

6:12 am

mummy

Thank you FMitch, I am only on 42 - one day I will get them all, but don't hold out much hope. I spend far too much time doing this and not enough doing the chores. I usually end up dashing into the kitchen half an hour before his lordship comes home to get a meal on the table....... wouldn't have time to go out to work!

6:13 am

Poo's Mom

You could have gone with broccoli or moss as well (who says babble isn't educational?)

6:13 am

Atalante

I like mine :) fractal universe creation!

6:15 am

Poo's Mom

alice kelley, atalante? that's where mine is from...

6:15 am

FMitch

mummy - I think you have just described the majority of players on here! and as with all things practice makes perfect (thats my excue and I am sticking to it)!!!

Hi Atalante - love it!

6:15 am

Atalante

Nope - from my own fair hand and a fractal programme I've got on my computer!

6:16 am

Poo's Mom

wow! very nice!!

6:16 am

mummy

Just had a call from a friend - inviting me out for coffee... sounds like a good excuse to leave this alone for a while.... see you all later...

6:17 am

Poo's Mom

bye mummy! i must get moving as well or we will be late..it's a two hour drive...first day of hunting season here as well so i'll have one eye on the road and one looking for bambi...

6:18 am

FMitch

Bye, see you again soon!!!!

6:21 am

FMitch

Atalante - have to ask, how come you have a fractal prog on yr pc? or should I go to the link in your profile?

6:23 am

mickie

Good morning everyone!

6:26 am

FMitch

Hi mickey, hows the world and the grid treating your today?

6:35 am

Atalante

Ooooh I have a few fractal progs - I went through a stage of being obsessed with making fractals about a year ago - the results = http://elegaer-too.deviantart. com/gallery/ There are quite a few fractal generators you can get free online, if you want to start playing around with them!

6:35 am

FMitch

well, I have to say after looking this morning it has caught my interest :)

6:37 am

FMitch

I will certainly have a look at your link too, but for now must tear myself away again. Made it to 89 words and will be back later!

6:37 am

Atalante

If you're interested, I can give you the links for some, and more links to some tutorials for them :)

6:38 am

Atalante

making fractals is wonderfully soothing somehow after a day's work! making swirly things!

6:38 am

FMitch

oooo yes please!!!

6:39 am

movieman

Welcome, one and all 2 the wonderful world of Babbleland!!!

Movieman here, just saying "hi" 2 everyone, and saying "good luck" in finishing 2day's puzzle...

6:39 am

Atalante

send me an email through to atalante@f2s.com - and I'll send you back some of the coolest links and stuff :) then I won't spam the whole chat log talking about it here!

6:40 am

FMitch

thanks, will do.
hi movieman

6:43 am

scatty

just finished, a few nasty little words today good luck everyone

7:04 am

M3

hi, Any clues for the py's. Hangover not helping!!!

7:06 am

Jacula

py5/16 & its plural - Either of two isomeric compounds with the formula C5H6O, having a ring of five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. (Think of Captain Hook or Blackbeard. Words sound a bit like what they are but end more like what Seb Coe did.)

7:07 am

Jacula

I think I said earlier that is wasn't snowing here? It is now!

7:08 am

M3

Thanks Jacula Have them now, i was in the right area!!!!

7:09 am

Jacula

Glad to help, M3.

7:09 am

M3

Ok off for a nap xx

7:13 am

Jacula

7:34 am

EvaNadine

mornin all!

7:35 am

FMitch

whatever gave you that idea?? LOL Lovely aren't they?

7:38 am

FMitch

anyone have a clue for the da6/33 please?

7:39 am

EvaNadine

icon all updated.
ill miss my earth faerie though!

7:41 am

gramma

Hey there 1 and all. I logged on, only to find movieman had my chosen icon. 1st come 1st serve...so I switched it around. I can't believe I can actually do that now, w/out breaking into a sweat or spending 2 hours messing it all up. Gramma's growing up!

7:42 am

baggo

hello all...gramma you look very anj today!!!

7:44 am

gramma

Oh no!...don't tell me [which really means, tell me] do I have the same 1 as anj?

7:45 am

baggo

nooooo i haven't seen him yet, i just know he likes that one, that was why i said it!!!!

7:48 am

gramma

Wheeew, I think I'll leave it. Did I mention, 1st come 1st serve? See Gramma's grown up; but, still very immature.

7:48 am

baggo

lol gramma

hiya judirae

7:51 am

Jera

Good morning, everyone! I'm having good luck with these w's today!

7:52 am

baggo

hi jera...yeah not a lot of odd words in this one, or the counts are odd enough that they can only be certain words...

7:53 am

Jen

Morning all! Did you all have a good weekend?

7:53 am

Jera

Was that X in yesterday's puzzle ever used? I had it when a high-value letter is wasted...

7:54 am

Jera

Hey, Jen! Is that your tree already up?

7:54 am

baggo

hey jen, yes and you...

i know what you mean jera...it's like why even bother to put it in...

7:55 am

Jera

I don't have much time to play this morning... must get Gwyd off to school then do some work today... so I'm trying to be efficient... with some time for chatting, too!

7:55 am

Jen

Hey Jera and baggo! That's not this year's tree, but ours is up! We are headed to Florida for Christmas, so I wanted as much time with holiday decorations as possible! :)

7:56 am

baggo

multitasking seems to be the way of babblers around the world

7:58 am

Jera

We will probably shop for ours next weekend or the one after... I try to have everything arranged a week before the big day (which is early for me, December 21st). But we always get live trees & too much time in a warm dry house is not good for them...

7:59 am

Jera

We always go to georgia to visit my husband's folks for Christmas, so i know what you mean about enjoyment time before you leave...

7:59 am

Jen

We just have a little artificial tree this year since we are crammed into an apartment for the moment. Will start looking for a real house once I get a job. And then look out! Biggest tree I can find!

8:01 am

baggo

we were gonna get ours this weekend, but it just didn't work out that way, colts play tonight, so i don't think it will happen this evening either...but i want it soon so that we can enjoy it, i love that pine smell in the house..

8:04 am

Jera

Lots of nice places for sale out our way, Jen!! ;D

8:05 am

Jera

We did go ahead & decorate last year's tree, which is planted in our back yard, with deer treats & pine cone bird feeders... very cute!

8:05 am

paperdoll

Good Morning!
I love everyone's fractals!

8:05 am

Jen

It's a little too far from Skip's work, otherwise we'd be looking there. We really want to stay in the Herndon/Reston area... but willing to go Ashburn/Leesburg.

8:05 am

EvaNadine

put up most of my christmas decorations -- no tree at my house since its just me.
but ihave a gorgeous wreath i made on the front door.
i wrapped pine garland down both side of the handrails on my front steps. i also usually wrap white lights around the garland, and then irridescent white ribbon with gold trim around that. then each side gets a large matching bow at the bottom.
(my lights decided not to work this year, so i only have the garland up at the moment.)

then inside i have a large gold bow that goes at the base of the handrail for the stairs. a matching gold ribbon and gold beads wind their way up the handrail and a stocking for the cats hangs from that.

:)

8:06 am

Jera

Where does he work, if I could be so nosey??

8:06 am

baggo

jera i think that's awesome...jen we call my brother skip, is that your husbands real name???
hi paperdoll

8:07 am

baggo

oooh evan that sounds nice

8:07 am

Jen

For a defense contractor in the Tyson's area.

8:07 am

EvaNadine

thanks baggo!
also forgot to mention white lights on the bushes out front.
:)

8:08 am

Jen

baggo, no, it's not... his Dad was Navy (well, so was he) and he started calling him Skipper as a kid and Skip stuck.

8:08 am

Jera

I like white lights... much prettier than the gawdy colored ones... some people around here just get entirely too carriedaway. But then the only lights I have are tripple candles in the window so what do I know?

8:09 am

EvaNadine

when i was a kid i hated white lights because they were so boring.
but now i think theyre classy.

8:09 am

baggo

yeah skip isn't my brothers reall name either, but with a name like leland leonard, my mom just couldn't call a baby that....

evan i would love to put lights outside...never have

8:10 am

baggo

isn't it amazing how our views about things change as we get older????

8:10 am

Cinderella

FMitch Did you get the da word?

8:11 am

Jera

That's cute, Jen!

8:12 am

EvaNadine

im sure my poor parents hated all the colored lights...but they suffered for the love of their children.
;)

8:12 am

Jen

The only colored lights we have are some red ones to look like berries on the bushes out front, everything else is white at my house too. But then again, we (meaning I) go a little non-traditional with colors... I use a deep red (almost garnet) and pine green instead of bright red and green.

8:13 am

Jera

I'm lucky my kid likes crafty stuff... somebody had a bunch of lights up the weekend before Thanksgiving & she "UGH-ed" them as we drove by... nothing so scathing as being UGH-ed by a tweenie girl...

8:13 am

baggo

lol jera...

8:15 am

EvaNadine

yes, teens and tweens do have a certain special way of making you feel stupid, dont they?
hehe

8:16 am

Jera

Especially when they add the eyeroll...

8:16 am

FMitch

Hi conderella - sorry been away from the grid for a bit but am still stuck on that da6/33.

Hi to all that have come in since last I was here and now I am off again.

8:16 am

EvaNadine

ahh, cant wait for the day i have kids...hehe
i take notes when dealing with my dance students...im making myself a handbook!

8:16 am

baggo

yeah that 6/33 has got me stumped too...

8:18 am

Bobsta

hi guys :o)
da6/33 is an extension of da4/9

8:19 am

Jen

the di6 has no definition, but obviously you have the 1st 2 letters; then add your wa4/8, which means unnaturally pale or suggestive of illness.

8:19 am

Cinderella

FMitch Opposite of lightie is da----.

8:19 am

Jen

Oops, my bad! I thought it was the di, not da that was giving people problems.

8:20 am

baggo

hi bobsta!!!!!!!!!

8:20 am

DarleenMB

da6/33 ... a disparaging term for a black person

8:20 am

baggo

yeah but thanks for that one too.... and cinderella got the da6...ty ty ty alll

8:20 am

Bobsta

hiya baggo ;o)

8:21 am

baggo

how are things????

8:21 am

EvaNadine

i love trying to find images in fractals...
baggos kinda looks like opposing dartboards...and bobstas kinda looks like lungs...
hehe

8:21 am

FMitch

.... smacks head with very wet fish of obviousness, thanks all.

8:22 am

Jera

That's a good idea, evan... you can never be too prepared... one good test is babysitting some really bad kids.. if you still want your own after that, you're ready, LOL!

(even the worst kids have their moments)

8:22 am

baggo

ok my page hadn't refreshed and i still saw bobsta's cat and i thought how do you get lungs outta that...lol

8:23 am

baggo

fmitch...well toss the fish over this way when your done with it....8-/

8:23 am

Bobsta

hi evanadine: yeah i can see what you mean about my icon

Hi Ishult.My manners are dreadful this afternoon.thats the second time I`ve failed to acknowledge someone today.So Sorry :(

8:55 am

9:18 am

FMitch

I've zoomed around and done what needs to be done in the real world and now it seems that everyone has gone again???? Oh well only 12 words left to find......

9:24 am

InstructorJ

A silly question, perhaps. This is my first time here. How does one know how many words there are to find?

9:26 am

Jacula

138 words to find today.

9:26 am

stillcrazy

Good morning everyone.

9:26 am

FMitch

Hi
1st way is to ask - 138 today. and ask for clues and read back in the log if you can.
2nd you can go to babblers anonymous see link on right hand side and under general and then stats you will see all the stats for each days puzzle. Do look at babble rules too at the top of this page

9:26 am

Jacula

Hi FMitch. I'm in and out from the kitchen. Need any clues for those 12?

9:27 am

InstructorJ

Cool. 71 words in, then, but I have to grade papers soon!

9:27 am

Jacula

Hi StillCrazy.

Welcome to Babbleonia, InstructorJ.

9:27 am

FMitch

Hi Jacula - still going ok but will shout if I do. Was wondering where Anj had got to seeing as it is fractal day?

9:28 am

InstructorJ

Thanks, Jacula. I hope your son feels better soon.

9:28 am

Jacula

Don't know where Anj., is FMitch. Will listen out for you.:-)

9:29 am

FMitch

InstructorJ - you are doing well there!

Cheers Jacula :)

9:31 am

looking in vain for the i word. only thing I found was ikea. didn't count , just made me want to go shopping!!

9:32 am

lshult

do we have a theme today?

9:32 am

macadam

Ishult.ik4 i with a feline

9:34 am

lshult

ty for the i, do you know what it means. might as well try and get an education?

9:35 am

Jacula

Ishult - it's a style of Indonesian batik.

9:35 am

macadam

Ik4 is a fabric created by tie dye

9:36 am

lshult

should have known!!!!!

9:36 am

FMitch

Hi ishult click on the ? next to the word for full def

9:37 am

lshult

why do that, when it's so much more fun to ask you guys

9:38 am

FMitch

LOL so true, so true!!!

9:39 am

lshult

asked already, but do we have a theme today?

9:39 am

FMitch

fractals is todays theme

9:40 am

macadam

Telling someone the meaning of a word should help me to remember it. What a shame the senior moments erase most of them.Still won`t stop trying though.

9:42 am

FMitch

babbling every day should make words stick in the old grey matter but that doesn't always work either LOL

9:44 am

torgone

Good Morning, Babbleonia!

9:48 am

Hi, Lotti. Your fractal reminds me of the view the doctor getds when he asks someone to open wide & say 'Aah'. LOL. The middle bit looks like an uvula.

9:49 am

lottijw

FMitch

Hi Lotti and Miy.
Lotti - liked the icon you had at the start of the day better.

9:51 am

Jacula

Mac - Those are the two positions I used to play in the hockey team, too. That is, until I was playing one freezing Saturday morning against a particularly vicious team, my legs were blue and I thought, 'What am I DOING here??'

9:51 am

torgone

Fairly well, lotti.
Well enough to function today.

9:51 am

macadam

Somewhat biological I think Lotti.

9:52 am

baggo

"poof" did someone call?

10:21 am

Bobsta

macadam: i think i'll have to that tonight, it won't be the same without puzzling over the words but the problem is that you get so addicted to the babbleverse that you have to be on here if the computer's on.

10:21 am

lottijw

((((Baggo))))) Miyavi needs you :)

10:22 am

baggo

Jacula

10:31 am

Miyavi_fan

Baggo, they don't think I broke it, thank God :) The fainting was just because I go into shock really easily, and shortly afterwards I was whacked over the head with the same hockey stick. I think it was alive...

Babbler - yes, I think I am. I just couldn't wait to start again today!!

Lola-Hello

Mya fan - okay, I am so curious - is your name a name of a group or is that your name. Hope that isn't too stupid of a question!! And what in the world did you do to yourself??

1:15 pm

EvaNadine

i really need to start taking yoga or something...i get way too tense over little things.
but really, this one is valid!

1:15 pm

1:15 pm

Doll414

thanks Hurshy just googled fractals and took the first one they showed

1:16 pm

torgone

You can also choose to slap them around when they need it.

1:16 pm

Doll414

Hi Babbler

1:16 pm

mtnjock

eva, breath deep, take a long hard stare at my icon, and then think... flowers... pretty flowers... and then you will realize that I am just distracting you with men in underwear.

1:17 pm

EvaNadine

ooh, im a fan of men.
regardless of the underwear.
;D

1:17 pm

lottijw

If you`re into that kind of thing babe!!!! ;)
You can slap me......just don`t hurt me !!!! lol ((xx))

1:18 pm

lola100

coosin, I'm not angry or upset today....but can I try your therapy too?? :)

1:18 pm

Sanky

Have yet another stupid question for anyone who can answer....How do you get an icon? Please put it in a 10 year old directions, as I am quite computer illiterate!! Thank you!!

1:19 pm

mtnjock

LOL

1:19 pm

hurshy

sanky - you pay $9.95

1:19 pm

lottijw

Sis did you get your mail, or are you just sick of me????!!!!

1:20 pm

EvaNadine

gonna go take a quick walk to cool off...back in a bit!
:D

1:20 pm

Sanky

hurshy - I already paid that....then what?

1:20 pm

lola100

sanky, you have to go pro to get an icon. It's only Â£9.95, it's a one-off lifetime membership payment and you get a nice stats programme and a blog too :)

1:20 pm

Doll414

ok so we went from love fest to slapping each other

1:20 pm

mtnjock

please try it, I recommend looking at him a LOT! I googled 'male faerie' yesterday and got him on the 'I feel lucky' button.

1:20 pm

Babbler

Sanky, you can pay by paypal.
Go to your upgrade icon thing (forget what it looks like now), follow the instructions, et voila!!! You're in! Should be instant. :D

1:20 pm

lottijw

Ok Eva......see ya later! :)

1:21 pm

lola100

Ooops, sorry sis! *lola slinks off to check mail before lotti yells at her again* :D

1:21 pm

MayanWarrior

Cool fractal theme, peeps!

1:21 pm

hurshy

oh, ok sanky. you go to "my profile", and you edit your icon, and you have to upload a picture. you click browse, and you get the picture, and then you click upload and then refresh your browser and there you go. if you don't have any you can find something on the web, right click it, choose save image as and save it on your computer, then do all the prev. instructions

1:22 pm

Sanky

Babbler - where do I find the 'upgrade icon'? I have already paid the $9.95 & filled everything out, (or so I thought)!!

1:22 pm

Babbler

Sanky, now you can start your biog details......

To add an icon, go the Edit, under the blank box. Click on that, you'll see a new page, copy and paste whatever pic you'd like, they have to be jif or jpg (I think?? someone correct me pls?)

1:23 pm

Babbler

Sanky - have you refreshed ? (F5 or your refresh icon)?

1:24 pm

lottijw

Aww Sis...sorry if you thought i yelled!! :)

1:24 pm

Babbler

have you been in My Profile yet, Sanky? (top of page)

1:25 pm

hurshy

sanky - hope my instructions were clear...

1:26 pm

Sanky

Babbler & Hurshy - Thank you so much for your help, I shall give it a try...I'd bet a million bucks, I won't be able to manage it, (that is IF I had a million bucks!!) but I'll give it a whirl to prove I am soo computer illiterate! Be back in a few... Thanks again.

1:27 pm

mamabear

1:27 pm

wa = first 2 letters
first number = number of letters
second number = number of points

1:42 pm

Miyavi_fan

Yup! But not inn any pani, all drgged up :D

1:42 pm

hurshy

thios - wa 4/8 for instance, would be a word that starts with wa, has 4 letters, and is worth 8 points

1:43 pm

Babbler

wa - the word begins with these letters
4 - there are this many letters in the word
12 - the total score.

Hi babbler!

This is how I have learned to capture image using microsoft: I right click on the image, which produces a list of options. Of these, I pick 'save this picture'. Magically, I find myself in the smarmily named 'My Pictures' where I give it a name and click 'save'. As for copywright issues, I ignore them.

5:06 pm

Anj

Hi Mab : )

I've never been described as charmingly dominant before. Maybe I should be mixing it in the world of Merchant Ivory. It's amazing what can be done to a whalebone corset with just a twinkle in the eye LOL!

Ricker - over on the right there is a "Friends of Babble" box. The last link is Babblers Anonymous. Click on that - then click on General, then on Daily Puzzle. Scroll down and there is a list of all the words in the puzzle by first 2 letters, letter count and point value. Many babblers copy and paste this list into a word doc or Excel and print it to keep track as you work the puzzle. Also, if you go "pro" (only $9.95 for a lifetime membership) you will have access to more detailed stats for your progress.

9:28 pm

there's a website: www.a2zwordfinder.com - check it out. You can enter the first 2 letters of the word you need and it will give you lists of words with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 etc letter words. it is helpful - especially with a puzzle like today's where there's so many ummm.... "unusual" words.

9:29 pm

EasternBlue

thanks charm...
*sheepish grin*
thought i'd tried that already!!

9:30 pm

Ricker

that will be very helpful as well. Is this puzzel a little tougher than usual? Or does it just have a lot of uncommon words?

9:31 pm

mamabear

it is both, ricker!!! tough and uncommon.. a rough one to start out with.. but you will become addicted like the rest of us!! You cannot fight it....

9:31 pm

I agree, the dictionary link is broken tonight. Or, the dictionary web site is down. So we don't get to find out what all these unusual words mean.

Um, exactly what IS a fractal, anyway? My niece teaches math. Don't tell her I asked.

Harp...off the top of my head....
A fractal is an object or quantity that displays self-similarity, in a somewhat technical sense, on all scales. The object need not exhibit exactly the same structure at all scales, but the same "type" of structures must appear on all scales. A plot of the quantity on a log-log graph versus scale then gives a straight line, whose slope is said to be the fractal dimension. The prototypical example for a fractal is the length of a coastline measured with different length rulers. The shorter the ruler, the longer the length measured, a paradox known as the coastline paradox.

9:41 pm

si 7 is plural of si 6/21

There is a theme to this??

9:48 pm

ruffh2o

I always thought that fractals were just a graphic representation of a system of iterative functions - in other words, a pretty picture created by an equation that keeps repeating itself.

Of course, I reserve the right to be wrong.

9:48 pm

mamabear

not the the puzzle, Ricker, we sometimes pick themes for the icons. Like today's was fractals. Yesterday was faeries.... we make our own fun in Babbleonia!!!

9:49 pm

EasternBlue

Ricker...when you are "pro" you can add a picture icon...one of our fellow babblers (aptly named Babbler) has been adding an icon theme of the day to her bio...today was fractals - tomorrow is cartoons...
