Darapti is one of the valid categorical syllogisms in formal logic, as constructed by Aristotle.

+

A syllogism is an argument consisting of two or more premises and a conclusion. It uses deductive reasoning to arrive at the conclusion from the premises.

+

There are 256 possible syllogisms, but only ~20 valid forms. +However, Aristotle's system proved hard to memorize alone (too many darn vowels), so the medievals created mnemonics for the valid forms. +Darapti is one of them.

+(paraphrased from [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism)) + + +###Darapti as a syllogism: +``` +Premise: All hackathons are fun events. +Premise: All hackathons are strenuous events. +Conclusion: So, some strenuous events are fun events. +``` + +###Why darapti? +1. Darapti is a weakened form. For the conclusion to be true, it must assume that the terms in the premises are.

+2. It's a reminder for me to check all parts of my program and make sure they function. Otherwise, just like an argument, it'll fall apart.

+3. Logic is how I gained the confidence to code. +4. Darapti also rolls off the tongue well (dah-rahp-tee).

+ +###Why hackathon? +1. Why not? +2. I've been sitting on my butt with some ideas, but haven't been inspired to build them yet. +3. I like the opportunity to try to build something in a limited time frame. + + +###Skillset and Ambitions +* a cup of PHP/MySQL +* a pinch of JavaScript +* a dash of HTML/CSS +* I'll create either an educational game or something to help with the fine print. +* Not sure of specific APIs at the moment.
