On the Subject of Neutralizing Neutrinos
When the light hits your eye like a subatomic pie, that’s neutrinooo...
Calculate three values as follows. In each row, concatenate the digits abc and take the result modulo m.
| a | b | c | m |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery holders mod 10 | Ports mod 10 | 1 | 301 |
| Port plates mod 10 | Batteries mod 10 | 2 | 302 |
| Unlit indicators mod 10 | Lit indicators mod 10 | 3 | 333 |
Run each value through the following formula, obtaining T and N. The value for dist can be found in the “Planet distances” table below.
T = floor(round(1000000*dist/round(1000000/sqrt(1000000-round(1000-5/6*abc)^2)))/round(1000-5/6*abc))
For each neutrino, start with N = T mod 10 + 1 and proceed as follows:
- In the table below, start in the center of the current flavor.
- If the condition is true, subtract 1 from N.
- If N = 0, the current flavor is the new flavor.
- Otherwise, move up (anti-neutrino) or down (neutrino), wrapping around.
- Repeat steps 2–5.
| Planet name | Distance |
|---|---|
| Mercury | 387 |
| Venus | 723 |
| Earth | 1000 |
| Mars | 1524 |
| Jupiter | 5203 |
| Saturn | 9582 |
| Uranus | 19201 |
| Neptune | 30047 |
| e | first time here |
|---|---|
| this is an anti-neutrino | |
| serial number contains ‘E’ | |
| τ | serial number contains ‘T’ |
| planet is closer than Jupiter | |
| more than 2 ports | |
| μ | more than 2 batteries |
| serial number contains ‘M’ | |
| not first time here |
In ascending order of the neutrinos’ T values, submit the new flavors. Anti-neutrinos remain anti-neutrinos. Same flavoured neutrino anti-neutrino pairs (e.g. e and e bar) annihilate and their flavours should be left blank.
