You can now view all your Boiledbeans stats in one place with the new bbprofiles feature. I had some extra hours this weekend, so churned out this long pending feature.

The profile page right now contains stats and runlengths, but we request you to update the following on your profile, so that we can add them to the profile page too.

1. Photo – Some of you have uploaded a pic, but those who have not, please do it
2. About yourself
3. Your blog – We are planning to roll out another feature, which will need this. So please update your blog links

bbprofiles has a newly introduced “Ranks” as a stat. So, do check it out

Here are some screenshots

Do let us know if you like this feature, we will make it better!

and oh.. the link

http://boiledbeans.net/bbprofile/?uname=your_user_name

example: http://boiledbeans.net/bbprofile/?uname=udupendra

or just click on your name in the Hall of Fame section

The dude in 1 developed A which was(is) astoundingly powerful, but was hard to use. Then, the dude in 2 implemented B around A to make it more usable by normal people like me. What is B?

1. 2.

Quite deservingly, B has 2’s name in it.

Later, they changed X to

What is X?

If E to F is earth’s orbit and B is Jupiter, this dude used measurements w.r.t E, B, D and C to quantitatively estimate something for the first time. What?

p.s. D-C is guessable.

Late question is very late. Apologies folks, this question will be up for 24hrs from this point.

Easy one. 2 depicts a phenomenon named after 1 which is most commonly explained with 3 as the example. Identify 1.

1. 2.

2. 

Hint: The object in 2 is moving and so is the train :P
