    Thank you artchill, that was a beautiful translation.

    I think you meant Yitzchak’s tefila since it’s ???? ???? ???? ????

    SecularFrummy: That matter is made up of energies can be seen as a hint that the physical world is made up of a spiritual, less tangible world. That the fossil layers are not organized as they should be but are all mixed up, as would happen in the mabul. That the universe is expanding, so it must have had a beginning.

    Syag: Good question. I don’t think so. By the way you are one of my favorite posters. Please post more often.

    Rabbi Perfect: You didn’t specify Beis Dish shel Matah, so I’m going to assume you meant Bais Din Shel Maalah, and I was not privy to the deliberations. 00:59

    Squeak thank you for your clear explanations. If only my professor and textbook was more like you.

    OOM I’m pretending I didn’t see your post because it is just going to confuse me.

    LOL. This is clearly an in joke. Or a Rabbi Kunda reference.

    What is the name of Emperor Popa’s Kingdom?

    How many dates did Emperor Popa go on so far?

    squeak: Yay! I now have a 50 on your course! (stop ruining the curve icot) I guess one at a time ad infinitum is not correct.

    As for how: I don’t see why you can’t just move them all up one, then move each guest into room 1, then move them up one again, and move the next guest into room 1, infinite times. Instead the rule is that you can do 2n-1 (double each present guest’s number and take away 1, then move the first guest into room 1 and each guest n into room number 2n-1.)

    I suppose the rule way is more convenient if you are trying to do it quickly but I don’t get why moving them up one is wrong or different. Feel free to answer questions since it is a new day and new rules.

    Squeak: You’re right, I looked it up. ICOT and squeak, thanks for helping me catch a mistake on an extra credit homework.

    I think so, one at a time, but I’d better review this. I really struggle with the theoretical aspects of infinity. Every time I memorize the rules, I just forget them all the next day, it doesn’t click in my head. Can’t wait until this is over, and there had better be a reason they are forcing me to learn this some day. Do you (or anyone else here) have any advice for “getting” infinity topics? (11:45)

    The Netziv is answering the smichas parshiyos of why ???? ???? is next to ?? ?????. He’s saying that it’s the reason you can’t add a negative mitzva out of Yirah. So the reason you can’t add a lav is because of ?? ?????, and the proof is the smichas parshiyos to ???? ????, which is incompatible with adding too many lavin.

    I hope I’m understanding it correctly from my high school Chumash.

    Is there bal tosif on a lav?

    I don’t know halacha, but from the chumash, yes. I think the Ha’amek Davar says that a person cannot add to a lav from Yiras Hashem (like not adding fast days, because it goes against ???? ????)

    SaysMe: Because she has problems (9:21)

    Squeak: Both great questions. There are more numbers between 0 and 1, which is an uncountable infinity, than between negative and positive infinity of integers, which is a countable infinity, since uncountable infinities are larger than countable infinities. Therefore the infinity between 0 and 1 is larger. (9:23)

    As for the trees, none. 9:25

    ICOT: Start your own thread to answer questions. This is my thread and I don’t appreciate your infringement on answering. Feel free to ask any question you want though. 9:27

    Popa_bar_abba: Very deep question. Without knowing the properties of the genie in question, and as a general principle based on oral traditions, it would seem wise to escape as fast as you can, and not ask for anything. 9:31

    This is kind of creepy coming from a male screenname.

    Sometimes doctors and nurses are busy, they aren’t always there. If you want someone to be with you at all times, and not only your husband, but a woman, and haven’t hired a midwife, that is one excellent reason to use a doula.

    SecularFrummy: Even though you didn’t say what “equal numbers” are I figure you must be asking about let’s say the set of all integers vs. the set of odds? They’re equal because you can establish a one to one correspondence. (it is now 11:01)
