Magic Kingdom Parade | theme

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

The Magic Kingdom Parade is a large theatrical presentation at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World which dates back to the beginning of the theme park.

It is comprised of many floats, each of which has its own theme music which is synchronised with a rhythm track that plays underneath the theme music for all floats simultaneously. As the floats move through the park, the appropriate theme music plays through loudspeakers on each float as well as through land-based loudspeakers along the route. A complex electronic tracking system manages the sound so that the correct theme music plays alongside each float as it travels by and pans from one group of loudspeakers to the next synchronously.

Pantriagonal magic cube | Magic Kingdom

Friday, November 30th, 2007

A pantriagonal magic cube is a magic cube where all 4m2 pantriagonals sum correctly. There are 4 one-segment, 12(m-1) two-segment, and 4(m-2)(m-1) three-segment pantriagonals. This class of magic cubes may contain some simple magic squares and/or pandiagonal magic squares, but not enough to satisfy any other classifications.

The constant for magic cubes is S = m(m3 + 1)/2.

A proper pantriagonal magic cube has 7m2 lines summing correctly. It contains no magic squares.

Order 4 is the smallest pantriagonal magic cube possible.
A pantriagonal magic cube is the 3-dimensional equivalent of the pandiagonal magic square. Only, instead of the ability to move a line from one edge to the opposite edge of the square with it remaining magic, you can move a plane from one edge to the other.
