i took on the NPH [theory 11] card riddle - and how i solved it [Theory 11 NPH Playing Cards Deck riddle] - part 1

now everyone is saying we shouldnt post about how we solved this deck riddle. but ive been doing this stupid thing for months and months and was so far in the wrong direction that i would have NEVER gotten it had i not found the one hint that got me on the way to solving it. while i will provide the instructions for how i found my way i cannot actually show how i found the answer.



first of all the deck comes with text that says:

"this is going to be a challenge. just as a spider spins its web, i've taken a page out of cardano's book and created a puzzle. look upon photos and images inside this deck. you can do this - just look closely at the cards. good luck!"

the key here is the old sesame street song "one of these things doesnt belong", find the the odd thing out in the text above and literally google it. 

the short version is that it will eventually lead you to THIS INFORMATION:

     THIS is how you solve part 1 of the riddle, and it involves precision cutting with a utensil like an x-acto knife on one of the cards that came with the deck. i will say that what card it is is VERY obvious, and had i been a child id be dead from stabbing myself by accident. but i am, however, an epileptic and my tremors make precision cutting seriously dangerous. 

     with the card cut it leads to a webpage [no i will not post it, but i WILL give you the image]:

by the way this image has been altered in size and moved around. so you do not know how it should be applied. i want people who just want the answer to be able to get it without destroying their beautiful decks of cards or risking slicing their hands up.

    i would suggest that while solving the riddle you use painters tape [that blue easily removable tape] to cover previous sections. this way you can keep altering the decoder.

how to put all gaming consoles into one [seriously this works] - also the best app list

i may have found the PERFECT method to do this.

1. any computer with hdmi connection port

2. download andyos

3. download any emulator

4. connect consoles via hdmi

5. use andyos + screensharing/casting to cast your screen+computer over any wifi network and thus you can play any system anywhere

andyos is an android vmware [a software that runs android os at the same time as everything else on your computer]. it can be installed on mac or windows, and runs like clockwork. once installed you can log into your google account through the android interface. through google play you can install and play literally any app your phone or tablet can. LITERALLY ANY APP.

if you combine andyos with windows built in game mode [windows logo+g] you can record your screen, audio, and other aspects. it is important that you do not open too many things whie running andyos to make sure it doesnt lag.

also with andyos you can install things like the at&tuverse app to watch tv on your computer [believe me this is frustrating to try to do without android.] basically you can watch your dvr on the go. though i ran into some wierd administrator/parental control issues. you can even install emulator apps or games that are normally only available through google play+android.

[the following is a list of valueable apps for literally everyone and anyone, to skip to the gaming part of this type "hdmi" into the search bar and skip to the second entry]

this brings us to running any console through andyos, basically you can install the emulator for consoles [drastic for ds, my boy! for gba+gbc+gb, snes9x for snes+nes, epsxe for ps, ppsspp for psp]. these emulators are worlds better than the computer based counterparts. for computer though youll want pcsx2 for ps2, dolphin for gamecube+wii, and if you want a really good gb-gba emulator for pc you can use mgba [which is easier to use but can be difficult due to syncing issues with sound and video].

there are also very good apps only available on android [and not even on ios]:

"scanner radio - fire and police scanner" is an app that has police and emergency scanners provided by local citizens.

"letter scrambler" and "alarm clock plus *" [thats a star at the end] are two good apps, with the first being basically an app that takes random letters and gives all words possible from them [if you play scabble] and alarm clock plus is a special alarm clock app that allows you to set multiple alarms and use your own music to use as alarms [and yes you can put music and files into andyos and access them]

"phases of the moon calendar & wallpaper free" is a great app that keeps track of the moons phases for any stargazers out there.

accuweather is the most accurate weather app. "noaa weather officlal" is one of the best weather apps for severe weather.

"random numbers generator" [the icon has two red dice] is the most fun app for anyone who plays d&d, board games, or wants to place a bet. the app allows you to set parameters for mini and max numbers and exclude numbers and rng at infinitum or till the numbers run out.

[the following section is for texting/calling apps to get to the game console info type "hdmi" into the search bar].

tired of those annoying spam calls or people who just wont stop texting? or ever wanted to text someone but not wake them at 3am?

"text me: text free, call freee, second phone number" is an appa vailable through android and ios that allows you to have your own personal phone number at no cost. you will need to watch ads and complete some tasks [which give you a certain number of "points/credits" and these points are minutes. one credit is one minute and you can easily get hundreds of credits, and they transfer with your account so you never lose them. texts also never use points, and many phone calls dont use points.

truecaller is literally the best app you can ever download. that is a fact. it has a caller id feature and call block feature that can let you block any call listed under an unknown name. it also allows you to block texts. the blocking feature can be selected from all phone calls, and the app keeps a record of all calls missed, picked up, and sent; by name. the app even saves blocked people when you transfer your account, so no losing blocked spammers. it cannot block all spammers as they always use different numbers, but typically once blocked they never call again. trucaller is also free and costs no money so its a must have.

"send it later! sms scheduler" is a unique app that allows you to send text messages at a later time and/or day. you type the message you want to tsend and select the recipient then choose a later date and time [including the same day 1 minute later] and the message gets sent at that time. i love sitting around the table eating dinner and having sent like 16 messages to everyone in the room five hours prior with kitty faces. then while eating with my phone on the table and my hands fully visible i watch the chaos as everyones phones blow up and they look at me and everyone freaks the f!@# out. its also good for sending texts at 2am that dont get sent til 9am so you arent summoning the wrath of your s/o asleep in the other room.

now onto the ultimate gaming sessions. first of all you will need at least one hdmi cable. basically any gaming console can be plugged into the computer via hdmi. if you use a splitter you can plug multiple consoles in.

what you want is to also get a steam account. steam is a pc gaming app/program [arogram?] that has a giant ass gaming library. if your computer can run steam it is important you do so. what youll want to do is install steam and setup an account. then plug in whatever consoles you want to play on through hdmi. youll want to set up your computer to be used as a display for the hdmi. with that done and considering you have downloaded the gaming emulators above you are ready.

basically just find any device you want to game on that has screen sharing or device local connecting/wifi screen casting. using your computer simply cast/connect to that other device [making sure you can use a controller with it. with the ability to control your own computer wirelessly you can play games off andyos, steam, the console through hdmi, or the emulators you have on that computer.

now a more complex but WAAAY more effective method to do the above is to use the "team viewer/teamviewer" software. yes i know that is the software primarily used by "nigerian tech scammers", but it is also a program that allows remote control of the pc from any device through wifi. this is significant because you can connect from a second device, turn on your computer, enter the code, then leave your home. then as long as you dont lose your connection you can remotely accesss your home pc through team viewer and use literallhy everything on it. you can even black out the home computer screen so nobody in your home sees you messing with your own computer, or lock the device if you notice someone screwing around with it while you are out.

but basically [short of where to get roms, and if you want that info go to "chucknorris.com"] that is it. it is convoluted, but it works.

why the "vader reveal" scene in the first star wars trilogy sucks

--if i told you i had an eighteen inch p**** would you be like "no! thats impossible!" or be more like "prove it b!@#$"?--

when you actually think about context the "vader reveal" scene in the first star wars trilogy was the stupidest thing ever. were watching a movie about good vs. evil and super powered telepaths and suddenly we get "hey luke has a father and its vader'. but who, in regards to actual plot of the movie at that time and date, was even asking about lukes father? it would be like introducing han solo as palpatines nephew.
let me ask you this, while watching "die hard" would you really be thinking about who the guys uncle or father was? or his kids? no. now what if i told you that kid the cop shot WAS his kid? 
contrived. that is what the vader reveal was. contrived from a point no person ever brought up once in the movie. so they could build drama.
also it was only so lucas could bring the point of leah later, but then why make them kiss?
its like when you are watching a movie and they suddenly throw out the plot to bring in a new one with a completely new villain with zero back story that they never touch on and who was never mentioned once in the entire movie. then they never touch that villain again.
without knowing whether luke cares about his dad all we saw was that he hated vader. and that vader killed his dad. then vader was his dad. so with no character development for luke over his feelings for his father lukes reaction makes no sense. if i told you i had an eighteen inch penis would you be like "no! thats impossible!" or be more like "prove it b!@#$"? luke knew vader was evil and that dark side users were manipulative, so why even believe him. also vader just cut off his hand and then offered help.
if someone punched me in the d!@# and then offered me a ham sandwich you can sure as hell bet THIS would be MY first reaction:

for the best perspective imagine if during the climax of infinity war dr doom showed up, punched thanos in the face, stole the gauntlet, then teleported away. then everyone turned to dust, and in endgame the avengers were after thanos because he snapped half the universe away and he claimed he destroyed the stones.
the vader reveal came at a time and during the second movie, with no mention of lukes parents, or his father, with the only mentioning it one being obi wan but yet fails to mention leah. you get over an hour in the movie and then theyre like "oh yeah, luke had a father, bet you werent thinking about that with that big battle for hoth and all".
yes people wondered just who vader was, because of the mask, that is what masks do. if you walk around with a group of people and one person who always goes by a pen name wears a mask everywhere, eventually youll be driven nuts over who that person really is. specially when they keep buying you taco bell and randomly stealing your hats.
but just out of nowhere being like "hey vader is lukes father" came from NOWHERE, it LITERALLY was something that NOBODY was thinking about. and i get it, everyone is like "THATS WHY IT WORKS! SHUT UP YOUR JUST A JEALOUS IDIOT! YOU DIDNT THINK OF IT FIRST!" well i was also negative 19 years old when that movie came out, so shut up before i slap you with my non existent prezygote semen tail.
and also that is why it DOESNT work. having a reveal that is set up through out the movie but is subtly hinted at with things you only see when rewatching like fifty times isnt a good reveal. spoiler warning?
the reveal in the saw franchise that there was more than one jigsaw and there had been the entire time was always set up and brilliant. the reveal that detective pikachu was the dad was hinted at so hard if you were blind and dumb you should have seen it, but was a good plot twist. the twist in scream that there was a second killer, smart and not many saw that coming. the plot behind the elder wand, pschotic but incredibly brilliant. cars 2 plot twist with the villain being on full display and only being revealed at the last second was great [i know people hate that movie but spy thrillers are generally great movies].
but the vader reveal had no buildup, not in the sense of viewer expectations. it was kind of like killing nemos mother and then never touching on that point literally ever again. "then who would YOU make vader?" i hear you say. that is NOT my point, my point is that if you are to reveal someone like vader as lukes father then, first of all dont use the dutch term for father, cause that just makes things obvious.
but more importantly ACTUALLY MENTION LUKES FATHER MORE THAN THREE TIMES. we as viewers were not watching that movie with any kind of knowledge that luke even CARED for his father, let alone KNEW HIM. we know luke knew OF him, but nothing more.
thats like a horror movie having characters being like "hey theres this monster"
protagonist: what kind?
"its a monster. its this thing that does this stuff to these things and they all ended up looking like that whatever"
then a rabbit hops out the bushes
"thats it! thats the monster!"
and with that i leave you with the monster from this story:

i call him timmy.

just how much is t-mobiles net worth? [june 30, 2019] [how stock ownership works]

right now my shares in tmobiles stock are not much, with a little over 49.00 [50 rounded up] worth .7/.07%. shares are usually divided in such a manner that 1% is still only a fraction of a whole share. meaning to ACTUALLY own 1% of a company you would need 100% of the equivalent of a 1% share.

okay so here is some bizarre math:

50.00=.70% of t-mobile stock | 50x.30=15.00

so %1=65.00 | meaning if you bought [6,500.00] worth of stock you would [theoretically] own 100% of the companies shares.

-of course i doubt that t-mobile could be bought for such little value. but if you ever want to call them and offer that, explaining the math behind it, it would be THOROUGHLY hilarious.

and if i am off by a decimal place [my own account shows that number], just take 65 and add 3 zeroes.

i would guess that may be saying that $6500 is equal to %100 of one single share in the company. if that is the case then 100% of the tmobile company atm would cost $650,000 for version 1 and $6.5mil for version 2.

basically t-mobile as a company RIGHT NOW is either worth a little over $600k or $6mil.

since my share is .7 it is only 70% of 1% of a 100% that would be 1% of the entire company. usually smart companies have their highest employees and creators [as well as the founder(s) known as "chairmen" - original term NOT sexist] own a considerable amount of the company stock. usually majority shares. the rest get divided out.

remember that scene in "fantasia" where mickey mouse chopped up the broom into pieces? that is the 100% of FULL shares. now remember when the broom pieces formed more brooms that were then also chopped up? that represents the 100% that makes up each 1% of the first 100%.

the simplest way to describe this is you have 5 apples. all 5 make a single COLLECTION of apples.

now you cut each apple into 5 slices. you now have 5 apples cut into 5 pieces, making 25 pieces of apple.

but all of the pieces are still part of the COLLECTION of the ORIGINAL 5 apples.

that is stocks in a nutshell [great now i want trail mix. someone get me some m&ms].

the math above [with 65.00/650.00 representing 1%] is but a single apple slice. to get an entire apple one must collect 100 of that 1% [making 6500/65,000 equal to the ENTIRE apple].

but even with this you still need FOUR MORE APPLES before you have the entire collection of apples. also, isnt "apples" fun to say? go ahead and say it a couple times. fun, right? now hold your tong in your fingers and say "apples" again. ha.

to get the rest of the "apples" you would need 100 of that previous 100% [6500/65,000] or in other words, $650,000/6,500,000.

in other words at this point and time [june 28, 2019] one could buy ALL of t-mobiles stock and thus gain complete control over the company if they had a little over 650k/6.5mil in cash. it is LITERALLY what their companies net worth currently is at the moment [give or take a few thousand due to some minor rounding up].

an endgame meme - you know what else is inevitable?

how to file a formal complaint in 10 [not so] simple steps

the basics of a formal complaint, one that gets attention and garners respect from the business you complain to and also results in actions taken or compensatory goods, is simple.
1. be polite.
this is important as you want them to see you as someone whom is miffed, but also is reasonable
2. be well written/spoken in your words.
try not to use contractions like cant, wont, dont, its, [etc.] and make sure that what you want comes across clear. use proper english and grammar and make sure you come across as "educated and logical]
3. write your !@#$ you draft first.
nobody ever suggests this. but what you want is to write out literally everything you feel at the moment you want to complain. even swears and contractions and have it come across as rediculous and p!$$ed off as possible. then either erase it, or modifiy it so it comes across as someone upset but not blind swearing into an empty toilet. it helps to write your e-mail/letter in word or notepad in case you lose internet connection.
4. make sure your complaint is valid.
check the faq [if they have one] before contacting the busniess, and yes faqs p!$$ the hell out of everyone. such stupid nonsensical questions. how the f@@k is "can it connect to internet?" a frequently asked question about a friggin toaster?!? the heck kind of toast are these people trying to make? but always make sure your complaint is something reasonable that you feel thewe company should own up to.
5. dont use references.
not what you think. im talking things like youtube, social media, twitter, tinder, "myponylikesbutteredtoast.com". dont reference things like this unless they are 100% relevant to your complaint.
6. dont use personal info [address, phone number].
unless, you want them calling you or sending you things in the mail. also you should know that many businesses sometimes end up selling out personal e-mails and phone numbers to spam companies who fill your inbox, phone, and every murderous donut-related though you have [great.... now i want a razberry filled donut]. you will need to check busniess privacy laws and regulations to know. but if you spam them with complaints and your personal phone number, address, or e-mail dont be shocked if you suddenly start getting sh!+ loads of spam.
7. dont expect them to give you free sh!+.
yeah, writing professional complaints may get you noticed or get personal letters/e-mails from the compnay. but it is actually quite rare for a business to provide free merchandise to people filing formal complaints. this is an honest action done on the bahalf of you and others like yourself, expecting free crap and getting free crap is a detriment to the company. if they compensate too many or too much they can lose profits or worse lose public image.
8. try to make your complaint sound like a group.
okay this is a real pro tip. when complaining to a busniess or really in general, it helps your case if you can make it sound like others like you could [or even have] suffered the same indignity. one person complaining hardly does anything. usually. if you are persistent they sometimes will compensate you to just get you to stop. im the guy who held a gun in its case in front of an entire meijer store because the stocker place the rifle on a shelf with a far faaar lower price. i literally had nothing to do while waiting for the bus to come back around so we could get on. several shoppers freaked out about high powered pellet rifles "just being out where anyone could grab them". so the store manager offered me a big discount on the thing. which i took. i still have that rifle today locked safely in a gun box in my closet, gun safety is no joke people!
9. if you can find a way, make the company know the problem could be worse.
yes. i disasterize sometimes when filing formal complaints. but when you have pet supplies being shipped completely slashed to pieces in the shipping box, thats a problem. specially if someone orders rat poison and dog food or like LITERALLY anything compressed in a canister [big box go boom now]. the idea is to take your minor problem and make it something that very realistically could become major [if it isnt already]. it may seem wrong, but murphys law can turn something harmless into a disaster [columbine happened because some idiot sold teens firearms and stores had no age restrictions on propane sales.] these things are very real and happen every day. the titanic disaster happened simply because production skimped costs on the rivets that held the ship together. you dont need to turn everything into a disaster, but if you can literally write out how your small issue could lead to a huge disaster for the company they will likely listen.
10. "pics or it didnt happen"
yeah this one had to be the last on the list. if you REALLY want results, give the business friggin evidence. this case with jimmy johns that got me gift cards had me actually citing everything and quoting from live time research. words mean nothing without actions and actions have no meaning without cause. any evidence you can collect to support your claims will further help your cause. doesmnt always need to be pics, but photo and video is hard to dispute.

i will list below all the cases i filed and got responses from. including total failures on the companies behalf.

i complained to customer service - and jimmy johns rewarded me?!? [how to file a formal complaint]

ok, lets get this started with the fact that i FRIGGIN LOVE SANDWICHES.
take two pieces of bread place LITERALLY anything between it, SANDWICH!
take two slices of turkey and place cheese between them, SANDWICH!
take two cookies and put icing between them, OREO! its LIKE a sandwich, only its 2.5 cookies.
take two wooden boards, some shellack, and a piece of tree bark, SANDWICH! would i eat it? actually i once ate a twig on a dare, but thats another story.
whatever, i love sandwiches.
while on this topic, i frequently order and eat at various sandwich restaurants. even a burger is a sandwich, only its meat and bread are roided out and bad ass. i have eaten at potbelly sandwich shop, subway, penn station, and one of my favorites, jimmy johns. any chance i get to order delivery i always opt for healthy choices, which jimmy johns has a ton. sadly jimmy johns cannot deliver to my address, and after unsuccesfully voicing my complaint over the phone i decided to STRAIGHT UP as them directly why they cannot deliver to my address.
so i went to customer service online and wrote a well written e-mail. now normally when you complain it is annonymous as you do not want them coming back at you. but i decided to put all my chips on the table, and i gave them the address of the nearest restaurant to my home. i then gave them my REAL address [btw NEVER EVER do this with anyone anonymously and if you want to know why just cheack out reddit under the topic "'let's not meet' stories"]. i then went further and used mapquest to test the travel time from my home to their business [which was minimum 9 minutes and max 13].
i didnt just ask why they couldnt deliver, i went and showed they could deliver to my place in about 11 minutes [or one episode of your average tv cartoon show]. i then asked a simple question, "why is it that your business, being so close, cannot deliver?" honestly i did not AT ALL expect a reply from them. but lo and behold, like a week later i get an envelope from them in the mail; and inside i feel something the size of a credit card.
i call in my roommate and we open the envelope, and inside was a personally written letter from jimmy johns. they apologized for being in an inconvenient location and as compensation for... something.... [i dont really know, i just wanted my question answered]; they sent me a ten dollar friggin gift card and a ten dollar gas card.
[will insert photo later. yah im lazy like a cat, bite me]
gods only know why they felt they needed to go over the edge in customer service and give me such a great gift. [yes ten bucks in trumps nation will buy you a loaf of bread, but now that bread comes with jimmy johns sandwich meat!] my roommate got the ten dollar gas card and i got the food gift card.
anyone who reads about my reviews knows that i pretty much treat things i hate the same as things i like. my passion and wrath run equal, and if someone screws up i always give them a second chance [^ ^ down down < > < > ab start INFINITE SECOND CHANCES!] even when someone screws up royal i will always give them a chance to make things right [still waiting on walmart though for nearly letting me die].
if you like sandwiches try a local sandwich shop, doesnt have to be jimmy johns [thats how you know this sh!+ is not sponsored]. but they do have good sandwiches, and they sell loaves of bread for like 50cents a pop. thats cheaper than the grocery store.
well im off to play some yoshi and poochies wooly world. [seriously its a great game. no really it is. very VERY relaxing. soothing music]

as for how to file a formal complaint, i will go into further detail in another post, as well as include like LITERALLY every single formal response i recieved and what happened as a result of my actions [i am not bragging either, just showing what can be done when you are well worded and polite]. if you wish to learn about how to write a formal complaint, check out the link below:
