ixfd64 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Well, I just did: 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, Ixfd64. I'm such a geek, lol.

ixfd64 Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Actually, it's not copied from a homework problem, lol.

HatshepsutLecter Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 What the? Someone please translate the math speak into English for the numberically challanged among us. :P On topic: I have never sent in a letter. I lack the capability to think of a witty letter that would merit publishing.

Duke_Freedom Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 If he (dis)proves the Riemann hypothesis he's a million richer too. :P For some reason I have a feeling your submission is not going to be used... :D The value of my bank at its height.

SwreeTak Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Really nice! And no, I have never written to Postie Pete, and I will probalby never do either. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oreocookie987 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I will be completely honest with you, I do not understand one word of what your letter said. Several of those words I haven't even seen before :XD: On the topic of the thread, I have never written to Postbag from the Hedge Expecting a good life because you're a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge because you're a vegetarian.

jak722 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I tried to write to them, but my email was apparently blacklisted by the postbag address... :lol: The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

fgfuyfyuiuy0 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 This is what I wrote: Dear fellow zombies, I'd just like to take the opportunity to say "Hello." I've been playing for nearly 3 years, and you guys are the monsters I never get tired of. I have always wondered how you guys became infected, and why it never spread rapidly like in the movies. I LOVE zombies, and I love you guys! If I could I'd want to turn into a zombie. Your fan, Fgfuyfyuiuy0 P.S: Oh, I almost forgot. I made you guys an amulet of human speak. It allows you to talk telekenetically, since all your other organs are rotting. I <3 Gears of War 2.

Guest Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Hahah I found that quite funny! :lol: And yeah I wrote one once but It never got shown.

I've geometrically trisected and angle via folding... does that count? -masuma Woah, I never knew Tip.It had that sig. I'll keep it since it's cool (and to make people wonder what was in my sig).
