Nerd Sniping
the act of presenting an interesting problem to a certain type of nerd, usually a physicist or a mathematician, while he/she is crossing the road, in such a manner that he/she becomes so occupied with it that he/she is soon run over.
first defined on xkcd.
“there’s a certain type of brain that’s easily disabled. if you show it an interesting problem, it involuntary drops everything else to work on it. this has led to me to evolve a new sport: nerd sniping.”
a sport based on the use of difficult problems to stump and/or stop nerds in their tracks.
i put problems from the glat on poster board to have some fun nerd sniping. man, is it easy!
1. the act of presenting someone, often a mathematician/physicist with a time consuming problem or challenge (often impossible to solve or complete) in the hopes of it appealing to a person’s obsessive tendencies.
2. doing the thing above in a situation where the obsession may lead to bodily harm (in the original context on the middle of a road where they will get inevitably run-over by a truck).
1. the xkcd comic “click and drag” nerd sniped me! i never expected it to take so long to explore.
2. there’s a certain type of brain that is easily disabled. if you show it an interesting problem it involuntarily drops everything else. this lead me to the development of a new sport: nerd sniping.
