Tri-Force Magnets - Finally shown to be OU?

In the initial state (when ball initially at A) the system has zero energy.

This is unsubstantiated. And plainly wrong.
Of course you won't hire me. You can't. It would need a much higher position.

Don't worry about my position. Worry about your being incompetent.

As for whether the above is "unsubstantiated", don't go further, just take a look at the balance @utilitarian has presented above:

mgh(AB) + mgh(BC) - mgh(AB+BC) = 0
CoE obeyed

and see if there is any non-zero energy term accounting for the energy of the system in the initial state (when ball is initially at A). There?s none, correct?  The energy of the system in its initial state is accepted as zero ? the thermal motion, the energy of molecular bonds, the work to put together the system and to place the ball at A etc. are not taken into account in the energy balance we?re discussing.

Like I said, go learn elementary physics first and then come here to discuss subtleties.

Well its a good thing nobody here seems to need a job    tomorrow is Friday  pay day what are you guys gonna tell the Boss  this week? you had a peeing contest?

I'm just going to say that the generally excepted "I.Q" test is completely flawed. It's based on a strict system of average thinking styles. I took a school I.Q test a long time ago, and it was very inconsiderate of differen't thinking styles. The head psychologist of the school said that I had scored the highest he's ever seen on a particular test (think it was picture concepts). Then above average on verbal, and low on some computational speed test thing. I already knew I was a visual thinker, and infact had a very strong visual memory (not photographic though), but I had it to a degree where the test was thrown off by it. The point is, I can remember the last answere to the picture concepts testing (flag-bell-candle), but i'm not a fast computational guy (like multiplication, division...). So because I suck computationaly, I only got to above average range. I think above average is like 120 - 149. If I had taken a test completely geared toward my thinking style, I would have probably been a "super man". Thats why I have never trusted any sort of thing to measure intelligence, as even intelligent people make stupid decisions. (like hitler, stalin...)

Wrong, as usual! (Why I?m not surprised?)
The ball placed in either A or B will move to C, hence it has an ability to perform useful work. This is plain fact. Therefore, initial potential energy of the ball is not zero. In other words: there is a non-zero energy term accounting for the energy of the system in the initial state. (And just forget about thermodynamics to avoid heating yourself up; nobody but you brought it into discussion) Can you wrote this initial non-zero potential energy term down or the simple definition of energy is already above your level?

Like I said, go learn elementary physics first and then come here to discuss subtleties.

Well, issue is you unmistakably need to talk to the mirror. You really don?t have much in common with physics, despite your doggedness and ability to make some people believe you do. See you again when you can prove that you know what you?re trying to talk about.

I partially agree about IQ remarks. But still wanna hear Omnibus? credentials and/or something placing him back to his real place. He has shown nothing, really, except a very large number of elementary mistakes and a huge fixation about SMOT and magnetic motors that, unfortunately, can not possibly work. How do you really know he?s not a magnet salesman or a humble technician? I wouldn?t mind him to be as I respect anyone as long as respect is reciprocal. But I?m telling that his physics really sucks and he pretends to teach and to command people around when he?s actually a mediocrity in physics. Let?s see some of the real omnibus (I doubt it will ever happen).
