A game of skill for when OTchat gets boring |

Posted by SelkirkTMO on Tue Jun 18 20:50:26 2013 It's called "Pypes" ... test your plumbing skills! No float valves involved, so even Train Dude can play! :)http://www.secnetix.de/~olli/pypes/pypes.py?size=5x5 Help file on site with details, I note that some versions of Firefox fail to turn the pipes. If you click and the pipes don't turn, you might want to try another browser. The code on the site is good, but Firefox 17 failed to work. Hopefully it's fixed in other versions. How to play Your mission is to connect pieces of pipes, until all of them are connected together, so water can flow from the source (the dark blue piece in the center) to all sinks. All pieces connected with the source are rendered blue, all "dry" pieces are rendered orange. The best way to learn how to play is to actually give it a try. Just click on some pieces to turn them, and watch how the flow of water changes. You win the game when all sinks are reached by the water coming from the source. Every game is guaranteed to have a solution. |

While water looks like a solution, and is the medium for zillions of solutions, water itself, and alone is a pure substance.It has the unique property of being a liquid in most of our environment and making up most of the earth's surface and our own bodies. It is, however, a pure substance, H2O. Therefore ... pwned! :) |

Nope, only distilled H2O is a "pure substance", i.e. solute with nothing dissolved in it. Naturally-occurring fresh water always has dissolved minerals; therefore, it's a solution, but maybe not the one you were looking for . . . |
