Not anymore since it's spreading news instead of remaining on YouTube
But can you still play Drug Wars?
Has anyone ever beaten that game? Is it even possible?
The earliest exponention clicker game I ever discovered. Lost dozens of hours to ti83 drug wars
No one has beaten The Game, but it is possible. We just need to wait for the Pope to declare that it has come to an end
Oh you fucker, its been over ten years. i just lost The Game.
It's possible to get to the last day and have a lot of money, which is your "score." The world leaderboards have some ridiculous highscores on the remake called Dope Wars.

That is a strategy guide.
I have never managed to do it.
I played whatever version was easily accessible on Ubuntu’s repository in 2009, and once managed to get a ton of bitches and effectively infinite money. I have no idea how I did it.
"ChatGPT what is the formula for Work Done in an enclosed system expressed as a triple integral?"
"42"
"Ok cool ty."
Stop giving me Thermo nightmares; I lived through that shit already I don’t need to sleep through it too.
Yeah but at least work on an enclosed system is always zero. Idk why but I always chuckle about that.
Sure, you can prove it in like 4 to 8 lines of multivariate calculus, but its always gonna be 0.
I used to store formulas in basic programs in my ti84 but they were never useful because I didn't need help memorizig formulas
I did the same, but it was helpful because I'm terrible at memorization.
I just wrote programs that would solve the complicated multi step problems and show me the work.
If a kid is smart enough to figure this out and make it work for them, they're gonna be fine...
As someone who was a kid who would do things like this to avoid putting in the work, no this kid will probably not be fine.
Back when we were doing quadratic equations; I wrote a program on my TI-84 that would ask which parts of the equation you already had, and would fill in the rest for you.
My teacher liked it so much he bought a transfer cable for those calculators so he could get a copy for himself. Then used to to grade tests.
I made one to decompose polynomials it was very good because it showed all the steps it was literally just copy what's on the calc to the page
I did the same thing. It was allowed in general, with the correct thought, "if you can code it yourself, you know the content"
I had another "program" that would fail to run but that's because I wrote notes into it. Doubt that was allowed.

I could never remember the formula to calculate compound interest.
But I had no trouble writing a for loop.

Ok but calculators are only allowed in math class and if there’s one thing language models suck at, it’s doing basic math. Forget anything at least as complicated as algebra
Time to build a wolfarm applet
Wolfarm, the militant brother of WolframAlpha SCNR
Dude, I was wondering why someone hadn't done this the moment they discovered Ai was terrible at math. I would have imagine the crowds who deal with both would have some overlap at least.

Oof getting ChatGPT to help on a test is likely to lead to some wrong answers.
Probably mostly correct answers though...

Sounds fake but okay.
Not sure if it's the same thing but a few days ago I saw a youtube video where person modded it with a wifi card so it could communicate with your pc which is at home. It required internet access from your phone which needs to be near though.
Wat? Does it have wifi?
They added wifi with a extra circuit board hidden inside the calculator case. It's connected to the calculators communication port, and pretends to be another calculator. So they can use the calculator's built in "send" function to send variables/text/etc to the hidden card, which then uses it's internet connection to look up answers and send the results back.
