  2. Ship, captain, and crew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship,_captain,_and_crew

    For example, if the first roll of the dice shows a 6, a 4, two 3s and a 1, the player banks the 6 but must reroll the 4 because there is no 5 yet. If their second roll is a 6, a 5, a 4 and a 1 they may bank the 5 and 4 together, and now they have a full "crew" for their ship. Each player has only three rolls, and after their third they score ...

  3. Transversal (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversal_(geometry)

    As noted by Proclus, Euclid gives only three of a possible six such criteria for parallel lines. [5]: 309–310 [3]: Art. 89-90 Euclid's Proposition 29 is a converse to the previous two. First, if a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

  4. Affine geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_geometry

    As affine geometry deals with parallel lines, one of the properties of parallels noted by Pappus of Alexandria has been taken as a premise: [9] [10] Suppose A, B, C are on one line and A', B', C' on another. If the lines AB' and A'B are parallel and the lines BC' and B'C are parallel, then the lines CA' and C'A are parallel.

  5. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_(geometry)

    Line art drawing of parallel lines and curves. In geometry, parallel lines are coplanar infinite straight lines that do not intersect at any point. Parallel planes are planes in the same three-dimensional space that never meet. Parallel curves are curves that do not touch each other or intersect and keep a fixed minimum distance. In three ...

  6. Parallel postulate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_postulate

    This postulate does not specifically talk about parallel lines; [1] it is only a postulate related to parallelism. Euclid gave the definition of parallel lines in Book I, Definition 23 [2] just before the five postulates. [3] Euclidean geometry is the study of geometry that satisfies all of Euclid's axioms, including the parallel postulate.

  7. Kismet (dice game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kismet_(dice_game)

    Sum of all dice 3 of a Kind Three or more dice having the same number. Sum of all dice Straight 1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6 (There is no "Small Straight" in Kismet.) 30 Flush All dice showing the same color. 35 Full House Any Three-of-a-Kind and a pair; color is not important. Sum of all dice + 15 Full House Same Color

  8. Playfair's axiom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playfair's_axiom

    Euclid's parallel postulate states: If a line segment intersects two straight lines forming two interior angles on the same side that sum to less than two right angles, then the two lines, if extended indefinitely, meet on that side on which the angles sum to less than two right angles. [13]

  9. Intercept theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_theorem

    The intercept theorem, also known as Thales's theorem, basic proportionality theorem or side splitter theorem, is an important theorem in elementary geometry about the ratios of various line segments that are created if two rays with a common starting point are intercepted by a pair of parallels.
