Not many, probably. As in, why would this happen.
Because why would you think this is of any relevance? You're making some estimate and go like "welp I guess that's good enough" and assume that there must be a proper mathematical approach to this.
At one of my old jobs, the bathroom was locked with a 4 digit code followed by the key symbol. We jokingly made up "Bathroom Code" as an interview question/to nerd snipe each other instead of working, which was "assuming you don't have to press key, and that the bathroom door will unlock if the correct 4 digits are entered in order at any time, write the code to print the shortest possible test sequence to guarantee…
I'm no mathematician or leetcode expert and probably don't understand "shortest possible test sequence", but it sounds like this is just bruteforcing 0000-9999. You can't guess what would be closer to the correct solution, so at best I'd propose making a list of choices and randomizing the tries in case you get lucky. It's different if the keypad gives an indication that one number is correct though, then it'll be 40…
That shows how you can do a shorter sequence by using overlaps.
Does it tell a story with a beginning and an end? Or is it more like season 1 of the Simpsons, which you could also watch in any order you want.
I love the internet.
Clicking around the previous discussions, it appears that the original question was posted on /sci/, a science and math board on 4chan, and not an anime board, as everybody who writes about this states. This is apparently an archive of the original post: http://4watch.org/superstring/ It's a question to a math community, using an anime meme template and referencing another anime. The discussion is very much not some…
Indeed. I would even dare to say most of /sci/ don't want to be associated with anime at all.
Ignore /b/, /pol/, r9k and all the weeb stuff and you can find some properly good communities which remind me of the old internet. /sci/, /mu/, /biz/ and /fit/ can all have their moments from time to time.

Unlike sites like Reddit where an overarching hivemind will dominate the entire site to the point where your cooking, gardening and Reality TV subs will all contain American politics for some ungodly reason, 4chan still seems to be siloed in to specifically focused communities.

I vaguely remember a poster having digitised his entire niche Serbian breakfast cartoon collection
A lot falls through the rather wide cracks in legal distribution methods

Calling Haruhi classic isn't that bad - I've seen people on this site referring to 2010s-era hardware as "retro".
When the AVGN started out, the SNES was roughly as old as the PS3 is now.

I hope there is a specific order we should look at these threads.
Oddly, the image that Scientific American chose to illustrate their article isn't from any of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya projects, but from Aokana - Four Rhythms Across the Blue, a much more obscure title.
They also close with an example for Harui's show and earlier try to explain its premise too... Completely ignoring the fact that fans don't care to watch the whole show in any order, but only the "Endless 8", the 8 episodes actually stuck in a time loop. And even making an example out of 8 episodes would be stupid, as the 8th episode in the Endless is meant to be the very final piece of the loop. It's arguable for th…
