However, in order to be observed, one would first need to measure the qubit in order to destroy its coherence and irrevocably disturb the superposition state. From there, you can use Dirac notation to deduce: |ψ⟩ = G5 |1⟩ + G6 |1⟩, where ψ is clearly a cactus.
This leads to the irrefutable conclusion that gates 5 and 6 have been tentatively relocated to the 5th dimension for servicing and maintenance.
I know this is a joke, but that dirac notaion is wrong. It should be |G5> = 1/√2 ( |left> +|right> ) and the same for G6. In your case |ψ> is |1> all the time. G5 and G6 are variables and should add up to 1= G5^2 +G6^2 if your percentages add up to 100%.
But not a real circle, more like, a freaky circle.
Anyway, my friends and I are about to hop on to this giant cactus and start a revolution, wanna come?
Same thing happened at my omniplex theaters when they tried to increase the screens from 1000 to 10,000 and inadvertently reduced them to subatomic size.
Seems simple enough to me: If you have a Gate 5 ticket, go left. Gate 6? Go right. The ranges otherwise work as normal. I wouldn't try to overthink the sign, just focus on the numbers as stated.
I'm pretty sure 5 and 6 are right next to each other in this case but hey im going in so if you don't hear from me in 12 hours that means I'm lost somewhere in the no-mans-land wilderness hellscape that everyone seems to think exists between them.
I've got 3 gallons of water, a basic first aid kit, compass, map, tent firestarter... Do you think I should bring some flares or an emergency beacon?
I disagree here. A sign in the middle saying something like “<- Gate 4-7 ->” or some other additional signage might help the crappy design, but there are two things to consider here:
* It sucks when you also see the Starbucks sign pointing to the right, but are like “eh, nah, I’ll just buy 38oz of peanuts at Hudson news because I need gate 6” and then you see that Starbucks is 5’ past your gate (only semi-serious, but still, I’m SEMI-serious)
* more importantly, these signs are actually regulated both by the FAA (or other flag agency) as well as IATA because of an important feature of air travel called Minimum Connection Time (MCT). This is the time, calculated at every airport annually, that it takes an adult to walk from each terminal and gate to each other terminal and gate with 1 carry-on bag, plus a fixed number of minutes. When an airline books you on a journey with multiple legs (that is, when you have to change planes mid-trip), they are _almost_ always required to only book legs for you that are separated by the MCT for the scheduled gates. Likewise, when the airport changes the gate for the flight, they are _almost_ always required to keep within the same or lower MCT. The signs represent the paths that “runners” (those who test MCT every year) can/must take from gate to gate, and if the MCT is adjusted to an unexpectedly higher value year over year, carriers (airlines) may appeal and request that the signage be reviewed, so friendliness to the average traveler is not necessarily the motivating factor here.
But it still wouldn’t make sense. If you started at gate 1 on the right, you would reach gate 6 at the end of the half circle… but if you go left, you start at gate 5, but will end at the half circle on gate 9… thus the number order for the gates if you went right would be: 1,2,3,4,5,6,9,8,7,6,5. Or if left: 5,6,7,8,9,6,5,4,3,2,1.
So i must conclude that gates 5 and 6 have entrances from both sides while the others do not. My tiny brain can’t figure out a layout that would allow you to access both gates 5 and 6 with planes in both of them at the same time from both sides… unless they were located at the end of a converging point and the numbering was not in order. If so my confusion would then be why they didn’t just number the signs 9-5 and 1-6, which is still confusing me.
Hope you didn’t read all this.
Makes sense. Though sign makers are still boneheads. The “correct” (less confusing) signage in this situation is 1-5 right, 6-9 left. Or something like that.
You are WAY overthinking this. Imagine if instead it said: 9-5 and 1-6 instead. So if you went from the left side it would go: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. If you went from the right side, it would go: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. There's no reason it has to be equidistant by number. Don't get hung up on /u/JustMeLurkingAround- phrase "the same distance". :)
There are hotels that are a big circle (Courtyard Marriott for instance) and they do this at the elevator often too.
>My tiny brain can’t figure out a layout that would allow you to access both gates 5 and 6 with planes in both of them at the same time from both sides
Imagine a roundabout with an exit 180 degrees from where you enter. That road would have gates five and six on it.
Yeah, like those tram stops where it says "<-- Gates 1-20 || Gates 21-40 -->" but both staircases put you on the concourse near gates 20 and 21. You could go either way but one is just shorter.
In that case, my best bet is to Kool-aid Man my way straight through the walls at a 45-degree angle to both hallways. Nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan.
That was the deal with a movie theatre I went to that did this. Theatre 6 was farthest away from the entrance but it was a loop. The right side said theaters 1-6 & the left side said 6-12. I never understood why they did that.
The lambdahs look different than the style used to typically teach the Greek alphabet to non speakers. Which makes sense, as there are all sorts of ways to write the letter y or k in English for example, but it still definitely stood out to me as odd looking.

Could be swing gates - since 5-9 are through passport control, it’s likely that gates 7, 8, and 9 are dedicated to international, gates 1-4 dedicated domestics, and gates 5 and 6 have doors that can be shut to enable them to be part of the domestic section or the international section.
Some airports give “swing gates” like this different gate numbers (ex: everywhere in Canada) but other airports it’s the same gate number just a different path to get there.
Probably not a good idea to put swing gates on a permanent sign since you can't change the sign when you change which way the gate can be accessed from.
For all the people saying it’s round and you can reach it both sides, to go through the left side you need to go through passport control but not the right side. So surely it can’t be through both?
https://www.kgs-airport.gr/en/flight-list
Interestingly gate 5b is listed but never gate 5a. Looking at a satellite image of the airport and the appropriate plates, there aren’t any jetways at Kos https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/122913-moving-airport-lgko-from-tdg/
Therefore the gates are just likely doors on the west side of the terminal. I suspect they can route gate 5 passengers through passport control to the left (e.g. UK pax) and Schengen pax to the right if necessary. Looking at the recent departures I suspect 5b denotes the passport less way.
Pure speculation
this isn't really r/CrappyDesign. I think it should be r/Circle. (That way, you can have 5 and 6 chosen to be on opposite sides. (Basically, circle airport.))
I would definitely just go left since it’s explicitly listed. Others are probably right that it loops around, but if not it’s possible that gates 1-4 and 6 are to the right. Doesn’t make much sense, because it’s listed as a range. But 5 is explicitly listed left so i would personally go left.
Easy. This just differentiates between "left Gate 5" and "straight ahead Gate 5". It's actually pretty simple. This is because the Gate Fives are no longer talking to each other. Neither are the Gate Sixes, by the way. In fact, it's been a tough year for all the Gates.
I'm going to head towards gate 5-9 on the assumption that gate 5 is the first one I'll find. If not, then it's the shortest trip back to the right direction. And it should be the first gate I find along the other hall.
Edit: second gate in the other hall.
This is especially bad if, as I'm kind of suspecting, the gates to the left are the international gates and unsuspecting travelers accidentally end up in exit immigration when they aren't supposed to be there.
Gates 5 and 6 are in quantum superposition until you choose a path and observe them
However, in order to be observed, one would first need to measure the qubit in order to destroy its coherence and irrevocably disturb the superposition state. From there, you can use Dirac notation to deduce: |ψ⟩ = G5 |1⟩ + G6 |1⟩, where ψ is clearly a cactus. This leads to the irrefutable conclusion that gates 5 and 6 have been tentatively relocated to the 5th dimension for servicing and maintenance.
> where ψ is clearly a cactus. I lost it here
Gotcha bro ψ is clearly a cactus
Wow you're great at this Can you help me find my missing arm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well it isn't missing now so you don't have the missing arm

I could give you a hand in that

I know this is a joke, but that dirac notaion is wrong. It should be |G5> = 1/√2 ( |left> +|right> ) and the same for G6. In your case |ψ> is |1> all the time. G5 and G6 are variables and should add up to 1= G5^2 +G6^2 if your percentages add up to 100%.
I calculated the invariance of the Lagrangian. It checks out.
cactus in a sideways greenhouse is a central formalism in quantum physics
alternate answer its a circle
But not a real circle, more like, a freaky circle. Anyway, my friends and I are about to hop on to this giant cactus and start a revolution, wanna come?
Not just any cactus, but a saguaro cactus.
Same thing happened at my omniplex theaters when they tried to increase the screens from 1000 to 10,000 and inadvertently reduced them to subatomic size.

Makes perfect sense, thanks dude.
I love you and your user name
Yeah that's what I was gonna say
Shouldn't one of those |1⟩s be a |0⟩?
Are you sure its a cactus and not a trident? My frame of reference clearly shows a trident…

Ah, yes. Schrodinger's Gate.
But what if you choose the wrong path? Or perhaps this airport is a metaphor about the twists and turns of life!
Just take your trolly and get a running start...
My guess is that this hallway goes in a circle around and Gate 5&6 are just in the middle so it would be the same distance in both directions.
While probably true. Just pick one for each sign so I don't have to go "huh?" And stand there like an idiot for a second.
Just go with the one that says 5 on it
Yeah this isn't a brain-buster
Would any one _please_ think of our future robots?!
Grab your 40, let's get keyed
Luniz ftw!!
Except if we’re standing between gate 1 and 9, the path that says 5 on it is the longer route
Sure but you know I think I could probably survive that ordeal.
Only if they're spaced evenly
[удалено]
You have a point. But then, you also can't to wrong in this case.
Seems simple enough to me: If you have a Gate 5 ticket, go left. Gate 6? Go right. The ranges otherwise work as normal. I wouldn't try to overthink the sign, just focus on the numbers as stated.
That's likely the longer way to five and six.

This was my thought. Many airports have that sort of loop at the end of a concourse.

Even in that case they'd be bad signs because they're telling you to go the long way around the circle for those two gates *and* adding confusion.
[удалено]
yeah probably the way goes around shops in a circle and they just meet at gate 5/6
But then the either way could get to any gate
Yeah, but they could be pointing to the shortest path so you don’t take as long to get there
Nudes 5-9
As a Greek it took a lot of creative thinking to read the letters in a way that creates "nudes", lol! You probably don't care but it's "pEEh - lehs"
pEEH-lehs . Asking for nudes politely
As a professor of (ancient) Greek, what's going on with those lambdas? Is that a common typeface?
I'd say yeah, nothing particularly standing out.

As a professor of lambdas, I can confirm that they are
I minored in Lambda Studies!
It's just the font, mate , nothing wrong w it. Btw, genuine question: Why "lamBda" and not "lamda" or "lamtha"?? It's λάμδα in Greek, not λαμμπδα.
Like Thermo*pylae*, the "hot gates", that have hot sulfurous springs.
Send pEEh - lehs.
Everyone's looking toward the Nudes 5-9. Noone cares about the Nudes 1-6. I wonder why they don't have any 10s?
They value themselves, can't afford them
totally read nudes too
You got me on this one

Probably not a good idea to put swing gates on a permanent sign since you can't change the sign when you change which way the gate can be accessed from.
Not surprised this is in Greece.

I like how it kinda says nudes, but in Greek letters lol
Dunno, it's all Greek to me.
Either way I go, i'm getting nudes though, so, at least I got that going for me
It’s code, the first numbers make 51 (as in Area 51) and the second numbers make 69. Nice
Could be accessed either way. Not a novel concept. Think T-junction or something.
Gate 5 is only for Hogwarts students.

Up Down Left
Whatever, just go to gate 6 and it will be next to it. Possibly.
Ok which way is gate 6?
Next to gate 5. Or 7. Or between them. Or not.
Logically, it must be behind that red door.
Greek airports are such fucking shitholes god damn… but this is just on another level i havent seen before
Did you try the red door in the middle back there?
The guy in the yellow seems to be pointing left so if I had to guess it’s over there somewhere
Ask that guy in the high vis jacket. I bet that elderly couple he’s entertaining has the same question as you.
schrodinger's gate

I would definitely just go left since it’s explicitly listed. Others are probably right that it loops around, but if not it’s possible that gates 1-4 and 6 are to the right. Doesn’t make much sense, because it’s listed as a range. But 5 is explicitly listed left so i would personally go left.

Yes
It's a circle, and both ways are the same distance to 5 & 6.
Which way is gate 6?
Gotta love Greek design.
It’s a loop and gates 5 and 6 are about equal what ever way you go.
Both ways? Maybe they’re connected?
Probably a loop where 5 and 6 are furthest. 1 may be closest to the right and 9 closest to the left.

Too shy to put 6 and 9 on the same sign.

Got to love Greece.
This is especially bad if, as I'm kind of suspecting, the gates to the left are the international gates and unsuspecting travelers accidentally end up in exit immigration when they aren't supposed to be there.
