What would a half human / half centaur look like? (lemmy.today)

Maybe a human front half (including the legs) and horse rear half? It would seriously suck to run with 2 human legs and 2 horse legs.

Math can help solve this:

m = 0.5 # human
h = 0.5 # horse

C = m + h # Centaur

So Centaur is 50% human, 50% horse. Half human, half Centaur would be:

# Expand
C / 2 + m
m + h / 2 + m

# Combine
(m + h / 2) + (2m / 2)
3m + h / 2

# Solve
3(0.5)[m] + 0.5[h] / 2
1.5[m] + 0.5[h] / 2
0.75[m] + 0.25[h]

Which is 0.75 human, 0.25 horse

Therefore, this hybrid is 75% human, 25% horse

To answer your question: This would probably be a human with a horse tail, and 2 horse legs.

    Damn, I wish I had an algorithm to tell me whether 75 and 25 are even or odd, though.

    X Mod 2

    It returns true if X is odd and false if X is even.

    A more computational efficient method would be to use: AND 00000001
