Random Stuff X: Something Weird

[A Budgie she/her]

@Sunchicken those are lovely! Especially the first one.

I posted this challenge in the Math and Science thread, but figured I'd also post it here as this one gets checked far more often.

Challenge: Using the given values, define a function for f(x, y), then evaluate f(4, 4)
Given: f(x, y) is defined recursively
          f(1, y) = f(2, y-1)
Hint: Values can easily be found by differentiating a certain trig function many times over.

f(1, 1) = 1   f(1, 2) = 2   f(1, 3) = 16
f(2, 1) = 2   f(2, 2) = 16  f(2, 3) = 272
f(3, 1) = 4   f(3, 2) = 88  f(3, 3) = 2880
f(4, 1) = 8   f(4, 2) = 416 f(4, 3) = 24576
f(5,1) = 16  f(5, 2) = 1824
f(6, 1) = 32 

In 5 or 6 hours, I will post the answer.

I was vexed when they announced they would discontinue my favorite soda flavor Coke Zero and replace it with Coke Zero Sugar. I tried the new stuff and decided is a toss up which is better, but it now has the Ammanas stamp of approval! The old one was more crisp, the new one is a tiny bit sweeter and more syrupy.

@SunchickenThose are great!

Thanks, Budgie and DA! (tagging is being weird on mobile)

@Sunchicken I just noticed your profile change and...that is clever. Nice.

I love it when people donate instruments -- there were a couple of manual pump organs a while ago, and there's a set of timpani now. 

Gets a bit annoying when everybody walks by and feels an apparently irresistible urge to start "playing", though.

Reminds me of a time that I was in a Schmidt music store, looking through sheet music, when this kid started playing Smoke on the Water on a guitar he was trying. Pretty standard visit so far... Until an older guy started playing the bass line... And then an employee hopped on a keyboard. There was no choice for me at that point but to grab a snare and start pounding it out with the rest of them. It was such a cool moment for a couple minutes that the kid's mom started crying.

I will do this. If there's a guitar, I will play it. And probably complain about the tuning.

This is so awesome I wish I could upvote it more than once.

I as well will do this any time a guitar is near. (Especially if the guitar is mine.) Or a piano, or really any instrument.

Oh yeah, I'll do it to a piano too.
It's just...playing on a git-git, it'll be fancy.
On a piano, it'll be 'da-darrah da! Da-darrah da! DAH. DAH.'
(B-Bb-D, B-Bb-D, low D, low D).
...Which does not translate to words very well. Eh, it sounds amusing in real life.

Is there something missing?

Nevermind, it's just the tenth pancake.

What's up with pumpkin spice?

 Someone put nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon in some coffee, called it pumpkin spice, sells it in the fall and makes millions. 

It is essentially adding pumpkin pie flavor to everything you can.

So I found a webcomic called "Abstruse Goose".

And with a name like that, how could it not be absolute gold? Its flipping Ausome.
