    Nope, I don’t like that game, either. Let’s find something else to do, Hobbes.

    As Calvin once said in a different strip, “you may as well give up, you are nine tenths of the way there!”

    Games, I like. Going through 700,000,000,000 numbers til I get the right one- I don’t like.

    Morning Tribe- still can’t sleep.

    If Jason Fox were playing this game, the correct answer would be e^pi, about 23.14069263278.

    Calvin should work for the government: “I’m thinking of a federal budget figure between 1 and 700 billion…”

    well, it’s a pity that tigers are not more into math…hobbes could have told calvin to play the game with saying “no, higher” or “no, lower”.

    by halving each interval, he could have guessed (even for this outrageously big interval) in log2(700,000,000,000) =~ 39.35 that is around 40 guesses.

    not that bad, ain’t it? ;o)

    When I played that game, I did exactly what Hobbes did … tigers have a short tolerance for games.

    Love the expression on Hobbes’ face in panel 3! Calvin specializes in getting people to give him that look!

    NIMAS - Once I learn how to navigate it, it will probably be better - IF they cut down on the amount of white on the screen, especially in the view all comments section. I also wish it wasn’t such a laborious process to add bold/italics, etc. It has some advantages the old format didn’t, and if they can tweak a little more, I think it will be fine.

    musicnut1986 - me too. I didn’t realise we can’t view anything older than 7 days now. It used to be a month. Having said that, there are some things I do like about the website like the fact that comics have a better resolution when enlarged.

    How do I go bold/italic? It was so easy with the asterix before!

    the two things i love about the new website are how when you comment it doesn’t take off your page, and that you can see a picture of the star of a strip!

    Hello Ninmas. I liked the old format better. Not quite getting used to this one. It just seems too cluttered. But maybe time will change my comfort level with this one.

    love hobbes expression in 3rd panel…he knows how long its gonna take to end this game

    im getting used to the new site but i liked in the old site if you wanted to see all comics(the explore tab) it didnt take you to a new page but opened in the same page halfway down.it seemed much shorter and easier to navigate than all in 1 page also now we can see just 1 week old comics.i usually miss out comics at times.now i’ll have to check up regularly:)

    I prefer the new interface. I don’t know why they chose to limit us free-loaders to 7 days back, though. You could actually miss some Barkeater Lake with that limitation! (No offense, CP. Hope we can soon be taking you for granted.)

    ninmas. you shouldn’t ask. Imagine, if you will, a firehouse pole in the middle of a stage under full stage lighting in a “gentleman’s” club. The dancers, clothing optional, use the pole in order to achieve some unbelievable contortionist positions.

    I’ve only heard this, I do not know this from first hand experience. My wife would kill me if I even thought about going into one of those joints.

    And here I thought a pole dance was an ethnic tradition from eastern Europe.
