Yeah yeah I agree the story was cute 'n cuddly and all. But Edison wasn't really a scientist. He was more of a businessman who took real scientists' inventions and marketed them as his own. Ayano should have worn a Nikola Tesla yukata instead.

To be fair though, Ayano is a literature dork, not a science dork, you can't blame her for getting it wrong

The second edison yukata hit me like a freight train

maybe that's the reason my sugestion to tag Thomas Alva Edison on page 7 was rejected. I totally should have suggested to tag Moderate amounts of Edison instead.

Damn, they were almost too useless this time, to the point that they had the audience bamboozled.

Props to Miku for being able to plot that equation in moments without a calculator. That was insane.

The real hero of this story was the candymaker. How did he even make that?

While most of Edison’s fame did come from the patents he owned, rather than the devices he created, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a scientist as well. He personally invented the quadruplex telegraph, which is what funded Menlo Park in the first place. Not to mention that, in creating Menlo Park, he assembled a team of brilliant scientists and provided facilities where they would make multiple contributions to technological advancement. I’m not saying he wasn’t more of a celebrity businessman, but I am saying that he isn’t as unworthy of recognition as people online often seem to believe.

On a lighter note, shout-out to that candymaker. Dude said he could make any shape they wanted, and he damn well meant it.

Actually... does that formula really work like that?
Or is the heart shape an artistic liberty?
I'm not good at math, so I have no clue. Somebody good at math tell me.

Nice! I was wondering, too!

Once again, I'm calling for a SCIENCE! tag (and possibly a Math tag).

As a maths major, let me tell you that the pickup line "What is your favorite prime number?" is a high-risk, high-reward strategy. Most of the time, it doesn't work at all, but if does, it does.

What's even more amazing is that the candy seller actually made the molecule-shaped candies!

A traditional Japanese craftsman does not back down from a challenge!

You can even do it in Desmos if you convert it into its closed form first: \sqrt{1-x^{2}}+x^{\frac{2}{3}} and -\sqrt{1-x^{2}}+x^{\frac{2}{3}}. You have to do it in two lines to get both halves of the heart (upper and lower) because square root function is messy like that. ±\sqrt{1-x^{2}} is basically the formula of a unit circle in the Cartesian plane, and x^2/3 is a cube root of x squared, which produces a pretty V/bird shape (you can achieve similar results with |x| or anything with a cusp, really). A linear combination of the bird shape with the individual upper and lower semicircles is what creates the heart shape. It is not a particularly complicated formula, but its implicit form is very clever.

The implicit firm works in desmos, as well.

Huh, didn't know it had that function, thank you. :-)

I certainly hope that every WikiHow article will have this effect on someone. The chances are slim, but I can hope.
