Alright, lemme try.

dO u fink IT is good thing to rate 12 lik they r rated now??
i mean if u wan to know how hard a song this is, u have to play it 1st.
also wtf is epistomicologicalistic or whtever

Yes, but you can't flangerfliger the arstaglishmond if 2x is priorital to the lemeringerlal. Plus, I don't think dirgermaker is of the viliconermoner.

That's not the word "A"

Then he lost me before I clicked on the "In The Groove" link from the forum index.

I sadly can't respond so eloquently, but here I go.

BY judging one's perosnall difficulties with certain step patterns at certain speeds, as well as transitions from one step pattern to another, it would be possible for one to judge the difficulty of a step chart with enough knowledge of the song. By calculating the amount of energy epended by each step pattern, an algorithim could be formed to one's specific strengths and weaknesses with certain events in any given song at any given speed. Of course, this would require that said person have experience with said game, and a song containing each pattern of specific steps at an equal speed.

Such an would require a specific knowledge of how much energy is spent on any set of steps. It would also require knowledge of how much energy could be expended on the next step of steps.

So let;

E= Energy at beginning of song
E1= Energy after first step pattern
E2= Energy after second step pattern.
and so on...

With these variables and the constant

S= Step Pattern

Then we could calculate the percentage of energy lost after each step pattern, as well as the percentage of energy available for the next step pattern, as well as the average amount of effort given to the next pattern. In other words, does the person attempt to regain energy by giving little effort, or go all out with all effort. The most amount of effort one can give is the amount of energy they have left.

We would first have to calculate the amount of energy expended on a certain step pattern, and how much energy is left after said pattern by isolating the pattern in a series of different song speeds, as well as including it in the context of other steps.

So if;

E1, E2...= Percentage of energy spent/gained on S1, S2 (negative number would be energy gained)
N1, N2...= Percentage of energy remaining after S1, S2 (100 - Ex)
R1, R2= Percentage for S1, S2
K1, K2= Average percentage of effort given to the S1, S2.

so...

[(N0 - E1) * K1] / K1 = R1

Assuming the amount of effort and energy expended directly relates to the results.

So, if we assign numbers...

Let's say this individual expends 10% of his energy on S1, and has 100% of his energy, this being his first song. He also gives 90% effort.

[(100-10) * 90] / 100 = 81%

Of course this is strictly dependant on extensive sampling of the persons skills, strengths, weaknesses, and extreme amounts of data collection every time the person improves.

This would also not take into mind the difficulty of sight-reading, which could also be calculated, but would be exceedingly difficult as it would require songs of equal difficulty to the ones said player usually plays, that he/she had not previously played.

This system could work with enough effort, however in the time it would take to get enough information for any calculation to be correct, one could probably get so good at ITG and/or DDR that they would not need such a system to tell them how hard it will be for them.

I won't say it would work, or that it would work (and I'm not sure that the equation would work efficiently, so I am working on a new one), because the philosophical issues with this are extreme. Because the question of will power and the thought that every moment is a different moment, and thus nothing can be calculated still remains. The question really is can mathematics define anything, or could humans overcome what they ever have before, for no reason other then emotional and situational (is that a word?) influences.

Ok, I'm getting tires, probably not making any sense, and probably wrong no matter what I'm saying, so I'll let Kiba and HTP take care of this thread.

EDIT: I'm not a philophy person, so I'm coming from a mathematical position. And a lot of my post is probably reduant, and or doesn't belong. Sorry I'm tired, so please just ignore it.

You guys... Random Chat is leaking into the ITG channel... which calls for the quilted quicker-picker-upper.

You are CLEARLY forgetting the begotting of Jesus' 20 sons, Judas the most important. Scrutenize it all for a Sun's 1/320000 pass about the Earthilogical spehreical surface around Greenland (according to the equation of Raoul Phooku of 1729), and you will congrigate an epiphany in the frontal section of your Cranium Lobeous about the current posteriori empirical analysis to the twelve centrifical figures of even sides known as "Squares" as the simple minds call it (such pompous fools, I do delare!)

The post-mourdum of the Magnum Opus affair of 1433, the biography of Harry Isanass CLEARLY states that the the yearly tide changes (which is affect by the moon, through SIB equation by Jorge Thetty: 22(5*[8-9]/5x)^2; X Representing the Tempeture on Pluto's surface in two minutes) affects the gravity in which makes lifting your foot in an upward motion either more or less difficult. Yet, in the return of the foot coming back towards the center of gravity, makes the Earth more resistent to the resin materials withen the iron of your skeletal structure in your feet.

By this, it would, obviously, more or less, make these twelve centrifical figures of even sides more difficult, or easier, thus depending on the weight of the asians on the opposite side of the Earth, as their cartilage in their bones makes more gravitational force when on or near a machine of high voltage.

So to answer you predicimental question, I have no F'ing clue what you even said.

So go and...
