There's no set time, but in general try to avoid it after 2 months. Welcome to the Shard! You've arrived at the best place on the Internet, filled with the best people, the best desserts, and the best murderous animals! Here are a couple of tips to help you settle in to your new place as a cog in the Grand Apparatus that is the Shard: 1. Join S(anderson) E(limination). 2. Familiarize yourself with the most important forums: SE, Cosmere Q&A, and SE. 3. Tell us which books you have and haven't read (this helps us avoid spoilers) 4. HAVE FUN! Make friends! 5.

τ Tau vs Pi

Also to add another identity. And that's a common way those formulas are written (to equal 0). -
τ Tau vs Pi

Except, 1 and 0 are two identities. 1 is the multiplicative, and 0 is the additive. Having only one of those two doesn't fully let us appreciate the beauty of the formula. -
τ Tau vs Pi

At this point, π has used enough that it's probably going to stay what we keep using. Plus e^(πi) + 1 = 0. -
Parshendi escape from Kholinar
Through the Living Hopper replied to Xabben's topic in Stormlight Archive
There are a few possibilities for explanations: 1. They didn't escape. Is it confirmed they made it back (yes, we know one or two did, but they might have left the main group and were forgotten when the larger group was captured)? The Alethi go after them and kill them, then go to war. 2. The Alethi weren't that focused on them. There were Parshendi in the palace that took responsibility for Gavilar's death and were executed. In the rush to solidify the country, the Alethi might just not have cared enough to search out one group of Parshendi. 3. They escaped. It's about 1090 miles from Kholinar to Narak, and that's a lot of area to cover, even for a dedicated search party. It's less than half that to the Unclaimed Hills, where it seems likely that they could escape easily. This I can assure would not have happened. With 2 hours of a head start, they would have gotten pretty far. It's about 150 miles to the mountains by Kholinar, and they (traveling at 3 mph) would be able to get 12 miles before a search began. A quick (AI overview, so take this with a grain of salt) Google search tells me that a mounted search party moves anywhere from 3-6 mph, depending on how thoroughly they search. Assuming 4 mph, the horse search party wouldn't reach them until both had gone about 144 miles (3t+12=4t), and that's not including food breaks, which take horses longer than people. -

Deadeyes without shardblades?
Through the Living Hopper replied to Xabben's topic in Stormlight Archive
I don't think they become a deadeye before the 3rd ideal. If I remember right, a 1st or 2nd Radiant is considering abandoning their oath somewhere in the books and they say it won't make them a deadeye.
