in some line variations where the first move is forced by the rules, the first move is done by the system.

Hrqls: There is a bug, timed-out games are listed under the date/time of the last move, not when they timed out (similar for resign and draw)

grenv: When you are behind, double to make your opponent think the opposite, then say, "let's get over this quickly to the next game of the match"

Hrqls: half-life (german: Halbwertszeit)

playBunny: actually, CM1000 is incorrect, the plural is preferred, see http://physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP811/sec09.html
Even better is to use the symbol.

Where is the science discussion board?

Walter Montego: From a practical standpoint a third of a meter is 30cm. Or 33. depends on the application how many digits you need.
I agree that the metric system is not the best for these kinds of calculation, but then no system is. A better system would be based on 12 (but you would need to change the number system as well to make it consitent. Powers of 12 have lots of zeros), exactly for the reason you state. Guess why the babylonians used 60

Walter Montego: The metric system is no better than what we have now
15 secends, no calculator: how many 16th of an inch are there in a mile?

Walter Montego: With the doubling cube that wouldn't work. To cite from that link: Note that when a player is closed out, he does not forfeit his right to double.

thanks again. These things are not explained in the rules (or I didn't read them carefully enough)

ok, thanks. Are these first dice rolls visible anywhere?

How is it possible to pass a move? I didn't find a button for it. In game http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=537998
my opponent passed on his first move, I have the same dice values and cannot pass?
