I think that after I reach my current goal, I'm gonna go for speedrun level 3 (1M in 15 minutes) without using a Golden Cookie. Might require some clever planning, and a lot of clicking.

I don't think that this is possible.  Even with Golden Cookies, you need to get quite lucky.

I bet it is probably possibly with ~7 clicks per second and optimal purchase strategy. (which is quite difficult to figure out).

how does true neverclick work? None of the golden cookies give cookies if you can't click and have no cookies and no cps.

I'm never going to be able to read "lol"  the same ever again, now that I see it as a guy raising his hands in the air...

Then there's the segment of population who read it as "lots of love".

When one of the editors caught up in the UK phone hacking scandal was in court a few years ago it came out that the Prime Minister had suffered from this particular misunderstanding.  (Not, thankfully, in that context.)

A lucky cookie gives 1200 time CpS or 10% of your current cookies, whichever is lower, plus 13.

oh. That means that you need two of them though... man that's slow.

When I reset (for the first time) I think I'll do that, then reset again pretty quickly, and go for speed baking.

I reset recently, and probably in 15-20 red cookies, I've gotten 5 Elder Frenzies...

I've been reading this article on fully homomorphic encryption, and it is pretty neat stuff.

Basically, the idea is that you want to do some intensive computations, and since you don't own a super computer, you decide to rent computing time from a cloud service.  The catch is that your data is sensitive, and you can't risk leaking information.  How can you encrypt data so that someone else can process the data without "seeing" it?

Is there a way to get more elder frenzies? Or are they just random?

My friend just rad only came up with a formula to find prime numbers:

For whole numbers 3 and up:

sqrt(numbernumber-2). If it is irrational, it's prime. If it's rational, it's not prime.

Nooooooo! Are there any more? 25 is rational, and so is thirty, and I think 45 works.

Never mind. However, if it is rational it is definitely not prime.

Huh?  If n = 2k+1 this is just n^(k-1)*sqrt(n).  This is irrational whenever n is not a perfect square... 15 is the first odd composite non-perfect square.

Yeah, just figured that out. If it's even it'll be rational and if it's odd it has to be a perfect square. Sigh.

Empirical induction is fun. Our maths professor once introduced the Coaster Theorem to us, which states that when you mark a round coaster (well, a circle) with equidistant points on the perimeter, and you draw lines between each pair of points and cut the coaster along these lines, you obtain 2n-1 pieces. Works for n=0 to n=5 but is short by two on n=6.
