A slightly different SBI contest #2

avatar
(Edited)

In most other contests you just have to give a random comment without thinking, but here I want to do things a bit different.

In every contest I will give you some easy problem and you need to write a comment containing the solution of it.

To give everyone the chance to think about the problem and not just the first commenter I will add an individual component to the problem(You will see how this works when I present the problem).

No upvote/resteem/follow/… required, although that would increase the chance that I can afford to keep up this contest.

I will give away 1 SBI after 48 hours to a random comment containing the correct solution.

Here is another simple math problem. Again i will play an important role:
(x–n)² = -n

Solve for x!

…
…
…
Wait… But what is n???
n is the individual component I was talking about at the top.
The individual component is just simple your reputation.
If don't know what that is: The reputation is that little number that you can see in brackets behind your name.

Please start your post with n = (whatever your reputation is), to be prepared for the case that your reputation changes.

If your solution involves irrational numbers please round to 3 digits.

n = 51

therefore x = 51 +/- 51i

these are funny.

I have an unsolved problem I posted months ago - people gave up as the most logical method actually missed the optimal solution. lol

Nope. Try again.

Can you give the link to your post? I am curios to see that problem.

If you are going to win, and at the moment it seems that way, on which of your many accounts should I transfer the SBI?

:-) SBIs always useful on any account that posts - to be fair, just transfer to this account, as was the one answering!
