Stupid Postbag.......

Have you sent a message to Postbag to the hedge, but it didnt get replied to? Post it here!

Dear Ethereal Numerator:

 

 

 

As part of my deal to make peace between the Fremennik and the Moon Clan, I had to go through a series of tests. In one of the trials, you gave me several sequences of integers and told me to find the next few numbers in the series.

 

 

 

This time, however, I have some sequences of my own that I'd like for you to solve:

 

 

 

1. Mersenne primes are rare prime numbers that have the form 2^p-1, where p is prime. Mathematicians know that 2^p-1 will yield a Mersenne prime for p = 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 31, 61, 89, 107, 127, 521, 607, 1279, 2203, 2281, 3217, 4253, 4423, 9689, 9941, 11213, 19937, 21701, 23209, 44497, 86243, 110503, 132049, 216091, 756839, 859433, 1257787, 1398269, 2976221, 3021377, 6972593, 13466917, 20996011, 24036583, 25964951, 30402457, and 32582657. Would you happen to know any further exponents in this series?

 

 

 

2. Fermat primes, or primes of the form 2^(2^m)+1, are even more rare. Only m = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are known to yield a prime. Do you know if there are any other values of m that will yield a Fermat prime?

 

 

 

Oh, and while you're at it, could you please try to (dis)prove the Riemann hypothesis or the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, or maybe even solve the Navier-Stokes problem?

 

 

 

Yours mathematically,

erm, maybe he got confused?

[Pan_Nx]

They cant fit everybodys into the post.

[Gazzy]

yeah, i know they cant fit all but they could at least tell us!

[Will H]

I made one quite a while ago. Never got through of course, but I thought that it would produce a good answer, or at least a better one than some we have had.

 

 

 

Dear W. Sedridor

 

 

 

Recently I have been pondering about the creation of combination runes, and the origin and creation of the Talismans. I enclose 1 Abyssal Research book, which I have received from an infiltrator of the Z.M.I. which encloses information of the sub-dimension known as the Abyss, and its discovery.

 

Also, I have enclosed 1 Elemental talisman which may intrigue you, discovered in the Abyss by the same infiltrator, as it seems to be a combination of all 4 elemental talismans.

 

 

 

Back to the theory of combination runes, I have concluded that one talisman and one rune of the same type creates an unstable 'temporary' altar, which allows us to craft the power of two elements into one. The more runes used in this temporary altar, the longer it seems to exist, allowing us to create multiple combination runes.

 

Now is the time to experiment with more elements in one rune. I theorise that 3 elements in a rune is 100% unstable, due to the lack of support from the non-present element. But mysteriously, 4 runes have been achieved in a talisman, by means unknown. Perhaps we can create 3 'temporary' altars at the same time in the presence of a 'real' altar (All of different elements) would allow us to create an elemental rune, to match the talisman. This is not very economical, unless with very complex spells that require all four elements, but we may be getting somewhere in our quest to discover all the runes in existence.

 

 

 

My next theory is the creation of an elemental tiara. As you know, it is possible to infuse a talisman into a piece of silver headwear, known commonly as 'tiaras' but there isn't a way to infuse an elemental talisman as of yet. My theory is that we can by using the same technique as creating elemental runes by creating 3 'temporary' altars in the presence of a 'real' one, and then infusing the talisman into a tiara on all four altars at the same time, creating an elemental tiara. This will help by providing four tiaras in one slot.

 

 

 

Finally, i have some questions and theories to ask.

 

What is the substance used in creating talismans? Rune essence?

 

Where were the talismans created?

 

Were they here all along, since the 1st age? If so, we may have a problem with supplies. Creating combination and elemental runes could result in the slow decline of numbers of talismans in existence, so we need to find a way to make them.

 

 

 

Yours Wizardly,

This is classified information. I trust you not to show this to anyone else other than W. Sedridor. If you find yourself in any situation that risks the confidentiality of this letter, destroy it immediately, but defend the strange object and the red book with your err... life. Inform me and I will make another letter.

I think the postbag is time wasted that could be better spent elsewhere

press ctrl+f then type in "k'nex2"(or just look at the third letter :-w ) i was really excited when i saw it \
