Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 22, 2009

Games yes, math no.

Nope, I don’t like that game, either. Let’s find something else to do, Hobbes.

so now calvin is running numbers

As Calvin once said in a different strip, “you may as well give up, you are nine tenths of the way there!”

i hate math, Calvin i think you will be playing this game by yourself today. lol walk away hobbes i would also.

hi Tribe

Games, I like. Going through 700,000,000,000 numbers til I get the right one- I don’t like.

Morning Tribe- still can’t sleep.

by the time Hobbes could guess it Calvin would have forgotten what it was

Remindes me of a song: Chances are we may never meet again…

If Jason Fox were playing this game, the correct answer would be e^pi, about 23.14069263278.

3.1415926…. more souds like Math stuff Calvins trying to see how well the privity between them?? lol

Oh, Hobbes, sooooooo close!! It was six million and five!!!

Calvin should work for the government: “I’m thinking of a federal budget figure between 1 and 700 billion…”

That sounds more like a bail-out offer to me.

Hobbes went looking for a random number generator…..he, he, he, …..

Sorry Calvin but I never play that game unless it’s between one and ten.

well, it’s a pity that tigers are not more into math…hobbes could have told calvin to play the game with saying “no, higher” or “no, lower”.

by halving each interval, he could have guessed (even for this outrageously big interval) in log2(700,000,000,000) =~ 39.35 that is around 40 guesses.

not that bad, ain’t it? ;o)

But gowolfy, that would take all the FUN out of it!!

…I’m thinking…How many times has this strip been rerun….

When I played that game, I did exactly what Hobbes did … tigers have a short tolerance for games.

good morning, cleo

Love the expression on Hobbes’ face in panel 3! Calvin specializes in getting people to give him that look!

Just wait till it’s Hobbes turn to pick a number… then see how you like guessing Calvin!! ;-)

i’m having a poll, who likes the new website more, or the old website more?

I iddn’t like the knew one at first, but I’m getting used to it and I think it’s alright.

i’m having a poll, who likes the new website more, or the old website more?

i like it, it’s easier to navigate

How about ”Calvin-Ball”.

I’m still trying to get used to the new website.

NIMAS - Once I learn how to navigate it, it will probably be better - IF they cut down on the amount of white on the screen, especially in the view all comments section. I also wish it wasn’t such a laborious process to add bold/italics, etc. It has some advantages the old format didn’t, and if they can tweak a little more, I think it will be fine.

musicnut1986 - me too. I didn’t realise we can’t view anything older than 7 days now. It used to be a month. Having said that, there are some things I do like about the website like the fact that comics have a better resolution when enlarged.

How do I go bold/italic? It was so easy with the asterix before!

The odds are against anyone wanting to play this game, Calvin!

I never knew Hobbes was such a quitter.

i don’t think we’re able to follow each other on the new website.

the two things i love about the new website are how when you comment it doesn’t take off your page, and that you can see a picture of the star of a strip!

Good Morning ninmas. I like the new format and apparently they are still working on the follower/following aspect of things.

Hello Ninmas. I liked the old format better. Not quite getting used to this one. It just seems too cluttered. But maybe time will change my comfort level with this one.

love hobbes expression in 3rd panel…he knows how long its gonna take to end this game

im getting used to the new site but i liked in the old site if you wanted to see all comics(the explore tab) it didnt take you to a new page but opened in the same page halfway down.it seemed much shorter and easier to navigate than all in 1 page also now we can see just 1 week old comics.i usually miss out comics at times.now i’ll have to check up regularly:)

I like the new website…easier to navigate. The new look is great too. And I like how my fav comics are easier to find now!

I prefer the new interface. I don’t know why they chose to limit us free-loaders to 7 days back, though. You could actually miss some Barkeater Lake with that limitation! (No offense, CP. Hope we can soon be taking you for granted.)

I like the new look.

okay everyone, tommorrow i will check and see the final results of the poll, then i will announce it on tommorrows strip. by the way pookid, what is a poll dance?

ninmas. you shouldn’t ask. Imagine, if you will, a firehouse pole in the middle of a stage under full stage lighting in a “gentleman’s” club. The dancers, clothing optional, use the pole in order to achieve some unbelievable contortionist positions.

I’ve only heard this, I do not know this from first hand experience. My wife would kill me if I even thought about going into one of those joints.

Poor Hobbes…lol He’d fall asleep before guessing the right number!

And here I thought a pole dance was an ethnic tradition from eastern Europe.

i lik games, bt only those in which i win

musicnut1986 said im still trying to get used to the new website its the same website just difrent

I will just throw some out- 1138 114 47 113 42
