<p>I agree. Many times I set my AC to 26°C (79°F), but I'm not a koala.<p>Anyway, most of the article talks about 30°C (86°F) that is definitively hot unless the air is dry and you have a lot of water for drinking.</p>

<p>Abortion release the same amount of heat than condensation. So you can cool the material before and get condensation or absorb the water and cool the material later.<p>Sweating keeps you cool, absorbing the sweat will cancel the cooling effect and you will overheat and may die.</p>

<p>> <i>Partial credit is rare</i><p>It's not rare at all. I can't find the 2026 results, but here are the 2025 ones.<p><a href="https://www.imo-official.org/results/individual/year/2025/" rel="nofollow">https://www.imo-official.org/results/individual/year/2025/</a><p>The top of the table is full of 7 and the bottom is full of 0, but in the middle there are a lot of intermediate points. It's not uncommon "7 ? 0 7 ? 0" because the 1st and 4th are usually the easiest and the 3rd and 6th the hardest. But there are a of of other combinations due to stupid mistakes and lucky solutions and different personal styles/preferences that make some problems easier/harder for each contestant.</p>

<p>It loaded now.<p>* Hi from Argentina! Where are the next matches???<p>* Does each player has it's own statistics, like speed and accuracy? Some personality details? Do they get tired?<p>I watched the first two games: Mexico vs South Africa and South Korea vs Czechia. It's entertaining. Some comments:<p>* Is it possible to give each team the correct color? (Some plain color that is the average of the actual jersey is fine. Remember to check for collisions.)<p>* It would be nice to give the goalkeeper a different color. I guess you can still add it.<p>* Perhaps you can add a 1/2 second pause after the goal with the ball inside the goalpost and another 1/2 second pause with the players in the starting position before the game start again, so it's easier to understand. (1/2+1/2 seconds may be too much, pick a shorter pause. Bonus imaginary points for confeti during the pause.)<p>* When I saw the "Watch replay" button I expected to be redirected to ESPN or something to watch the real game. I'm not subscribed to ESPN or something, so I ignored the button for a while. My recommendation is to rename it to "Watch simulation".<p>Some feature requests for 2030:<p>* IIUC they don't simulate diving, that's too unrealistic :)<p>* No <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offside_(association_football)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offside_(association_football)</a> . I don't worry about a super strict implementation, but it looks unrealistic now.<p>* In Mexico vs South Africa all players are very close to the ball, no lines. In South Korea vs Czechia they form the defense-center-attack lines better, but they are still too close to the ball.<p>* The goalkeepers likes to be be near one post of the goalpost instead of the center. I'm not sure how difficult is to explain to the AI that this is a bad idea. (Anyway, in "Mexico vs South Africa" the goalkeeper decided to chase the ball and was in the middle of the field at the goal time. It was a good idea to go out to block the attack a few seconds before the goal, but he should have returned to the goal sooner. I guess these strange cases are inevitable and they make the simulations more interesting.)</p>
