A game invented in October 2009 at First Flight High School where participants use the word appletart or some of its variants. Originally it was focused on who could say it the loudest but has evolved over time. The ways to play include: 1. Who can say appletart the loudest? 2. Who can say appletart the most in a game? 3. Who will say appletart last? 4. Who will day appletart in the funniest or most awkward situations? 5. What word will be matched when someone says appletart?

A '''phase shift''' (or '''phase change''') is a perturbation of a periodic object which causes the object to skip ahead or fall behind by one or more phases. If the perturbation is repeated indefinitely, this can effectively change the period of the object. When it does this, it is mostly referred to as a rephasing. An example of this phenomenon, found by [[Dean Hickerson]] in November {{year|1998}}, is given by [[28P7.1]]. In that example, the oscillator is normally {{period|7}}, but with the addition of a nearby [[mold]] it becomes a {{period|8}} oscillator because of the repeated phase changes caused by the mold's [[spark]].

A phase is a representative generation of a periodic object such as an oscillator or spaceship. The number of phases is equal to the period of the object. The phases of an object usually repeat in the same cyclic sequence forever, although some perturbations can cause a phase change.

Phase shift

A phase shift (or phase change) is a perturbation of a periodic object which causes the object to skip ahead or fall behind by one or more phases. If the perturbation is repeated indefinitely, this can effectively change the period of the object. When it does this, it is mostly referred to as a rephasing. An example of this phenomenon, found by Dean Hickerson in November 1998, is given by 28P7.1. In that example, the oscillator is normally period-7, but with the addition of a nearby mold it becomes a period-8 oscillator because of the repeated phase changes caused by the mold's spark.
