Polsby-Popper Test
Multi tool use
The Polsby-Popper Test is a mathematical compactness measure of a shape developed to quantify the degree of gerrymandering of political districts. The method was developed by lawyers Daniel D. Polsby and Robert Popper, though it had earlier been introduced in the field of paleontology by E.P. Cox.[1] The formula for calculating a district's Polsby-Popper score is PP(D)=4πA(D)p2{displaystyle PP(D)={frac {4pi A(D)}{p^{2}}}}
, where D{displaystyle D}
is the district, p{displaystyle p}
is the perimeter of the district, and A(D){displaystyle A(D)}
is the area of the district.[2] A district's Polsby-Popper score will always fall within the interval of [0,1]{displaystyle [0,1]}![[0,1]](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/738f7d23bb2d9642bab520020873cccbef49768d)
, with a score of 0{displaystyle 0}
indicating complete lack of compactness and a score of 1{displaystyle 1}
indicating maximal compactness.[3] Compared to other measures that use dispersion to measure gerrymandering, the Polsby-Popper test is very sensitive to both physical geography (for instance, convoluted coastal borders) and map resolution.[4] The method was chosen by Arizona's redistricting commission in 2000.[5]

This is an entry in the Fortnightly Topic Challenge #41: Short and Sweet. 1 letter only could be mean anything . With an additional letter in front , could be used as medicine component and something you definitely learn or at least heard once. Add another letter in front , you would possibly hear that many times . Add an additional letter in front , you would found an independent country . With an additional letter, in the end , you would found something related to apple . Add another letter in the end , you would found something bad . Hint: Each letter is unique .

I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers?
