Appropriate signals in gunboat? Please help.
In a WTA gunboat where there is a player who is in a very dominant position that guarantees them the draw or a solo if two or three powers can't figure out the stalemate positions and there is a power who has one or two SCs left and can be easily taken out without affecting stalemate position, what is the appropriate signal to send in game?

Secret canal in Russia - World Variant
Rumor has it that if you build a fleet in St. Pete or Moscow, they can travel via a secret canal, to the other SC. True? (searched variant rules, could not find)

Liberals create income inequality
If you have a brain and take the time to read the George Will column I cut and pasted you will easily understand how the modern welfare state conceived in Europe and imported to America by the Left has exploded the income inequality liberals lunatics hopelessly try to blame on the Free Market.

Anyone up for a Sci-Fi World Game?
I already tried this on a Normal Map with just Star Trek...and was eliminated first (damn you, double-crossing Vulcans, how dare yu stab me, even if it WAS the logical thing to do!) but it seemed to go well: how about a World match (low bet, as it's World and it can be more accessible that way) with races from different Sci-Fi series? BORG vs. DALEKS! KLINGON EMPIRE vs. GALACTIC EMPIRE! CYBERMEN vs. CYLONS! FEDERATION vs. BABYLON 5 PEOPLE (yeah, don't knwo their name....!)

Logic puzzle: 4 is universal
The idea is that there is a pattern or set our rules by which every number is assigned another number and if you continue to apply this pattern you will eventually reach the number 4. For example: 20 is 6, 6 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is 4, thus 4 is universal. The object of the puzzle is to figure out the pattern. Reply with any number and I will show how it becomes 4. If you figure it out, please post an example to show you know it instead of posting the answer.

I thought that all numbers, such as 4...are finite and thus cannot be equivalent to any other number but that of itself. Have things changed since 1st grade?

Well, I guess it depends. It's not correct for me, but might be correct for you.
democ (517 D(G))
11 Jan 12 UTC
well for me it is correct assuming i figured the puzzle correct.
@skittles I am not a native English speaker. so in my own language it should be correct

Yea democ, I realized that after I posted so I made that follow-up.

What's your native language?

@Fasces349:
if you are looking for a real puzzle, check out the "Alice" puzzle being discussed in this threadID=812845

Warning: I just posted a spoiler in that thread, but it's marked and quite a large block of text to sift through to absorb it anyways.

Here's a direct link to the Alice riddle:
http://web.mst.edu/~wjcharat/Alice.pdf
yebellz (729 D(G))
12 Jan 12 UTC
By the way, regarding the OP's riddle
1 = 3
3 = 5
5 = 4
4 = 4

60 = 5
5 = 4

14 = 8
8 = 5
5 = 4

Reminds of Petals Around the Rose, which I think is far more universal, however has the set back of requiring dice. Here's a nice simulator though:

About Alice (since I don't want to open the thread until I solve the riddle), are all the grammer mistakes intentional, in anycase I didn't finished reading it, I'll have a real look at it in the morning
Skittles (1014 D)
12 Jan 12 UTC
The Alice riddle is just poorly written. Don't read anything into that and just focus on the content of the problem discussed.

Income equality may be higher in America, but the GDP per capita is 50% higher and class mobility is way higher.

In otherwords hard work pays of more in America then in socialist europe
