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.

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. :P

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.

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.
