cool problem

answer I think. time to check

only for n=7

#10638

i canā€™t smile for them at all without physically moving my hands to my face and forming a smile

#10639

oh oops I missed the obvious solution that I found earlier because I forgot about it

#10640

I can smile! Just not well on command

#10641

but nyaaaaaaaaaaa mostly success (I would hope Iā€™d have caught that error if actually taking it (I had literally verified that case so probably))

ok time to read their solution

these are in the same room

#10646

well obviously 1 because like. the 0 vector and some shit. donā€™t think 2 is possible, but 3 might be? would have to finagle and i should already be asleep but

#10647

more than 3 feels like it should be impossible but thereā€™s probably some bitch-ass case

#10648

ok their solution is what I came up with (though I didnā€™t write it all out and would probably have wrote it worse)

#10649

theres something heavy on my bed and i canā€™t move it

#10650

or i guess only for n = 7! and 1 i assume

#10651

7! or 7

#10652

i would NOT get this question!

#10653

i know that thereā€™s a 7-dimensional version of the cross product that exists for some reason but i assume thatā€™s unrelated

#10654

working through the logic in my head again I see thereā€™s a minor detail I missed but it doesnā€™t change the overall idea (would still need to figure it out to prove it tho)
