France: Army St Petersburg -> Smyrna via convoy (*no convoy*)

Awfully sneaky of you France.

Claim: For any sets A, B, and C, if A is a subset of B and B is a subset of C, then A is a
subset of C.

Proofs are for dick jugglers.

From France: Ok, that last one was too easy. But I bet this one will stump you guys!

Prove this claim:

Claim: Consider f: R -> R such that f(x) = x^2 - x - 6. If f is positive, then x > 3 or x < -2 for all real numbers x.

Builds

France: BUILD Army Marseilles

[Aura Guardian]

France:
f(x) is continuous. Thus:
f(x) = (x-3)(x+2)
f(x) = 0
0 = (x-3)(x+2)
x = -2 or x = 3
If f(3+y) > 0, for all y > 0, then f(x) > 0 for all x > 3
for y = 1, f(3+y) = f(4) = (4-3)(4+2) = 1 * 6 = 6
6>0
If f(-2-y) > 0, for all y > 0, then f(x) > 0 for all x < -2
for y = 1, f(-2-y) = f(-3) = (-3-3)(-3+2) = -6 * -1 = 6
6>0
Thus, f(x) > 0 for all real x > 3 and for all real x < -2.

Another way is:
Because this is a quadratic:
f(x) = (x-3)(x+2)
f(x) = 0 at x = -2, 3
f ' (x) = 2x - 1
In order for f(x) to be > 0 for x < -2, f ' (x) must be < 0 at x = -2
f ' (-2) = -2 * 2 - 1 = -5 < 0
In order for f(x) to be > 0 for x > 3, f ' (x) must be > 0 at x = 3
f ' (3) = 2 * 3 - 1 = 5 > 0
Thus, f(x) > 0 for x < -2 and for x > 3

[Outlaw]

Aska is not invited to the strip club after party.

Edit: Oh and, FORZA ITALIA

 

[Aura Guardian]

For the Crown!
God save the Queen!

Seems France now really is everyone's enemy. If Aska had stayed, then France might have fallen. But now? France has even odds, pending prediction.

EDIT: Oh, wait. France is still possibly doomed, unless France/Germany declare a tie. Still, ... Go, go France, Go Go!

From France: Why, Mr. Anderson, why, why? Why do you do it? Why? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something, for more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love? Delusions, Mr. Anderson, vagaries of perception, temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the matrix itself, although, only a human mind could create something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson, you must know it by now, you cant win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson, why, why do you persist?
