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,

I'm such a geek, lol.

You just copied that out of your math book while you were doing your math homework... :roll: :-w

Actually, it's not copied from a homework problem, lol.

 

 

 

Even experts don't know the answer to those. :P

If "experts" don't know the answer to those, then why are they called "experts"? :-s

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.

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

Really nice!

 

And no, I have never written to Postie Pete, and I will probalby never do either.

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.

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.

 

In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.

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.

ixfd64 that will never get used.. The average age of people that play RS is like 12-13...

 

 

 

But you never know :oops:

YOU! ATTEND TET EVENTS! CLICK HERE!

what is this random geek gibberish and what does it have to do with runescape?

Drgnriderx11.png

that was i guess pretty cool if you understand it where did u get it?

 

 

 

anyway i taried to write once but i couldnt ge the email right so i stopped.

wow Ixfd64 you made me feel like a nerd. I actully knew what you were talking about. just so everyone knows i play runescape and read in my spare time that im not with my girlfriend.

Isnt the Etheral Numerator in dream land -in your characters dream-so isnt that sending a letter to your subconcius? Why do you need a postman for that anyway? Hed just give the letter back to you....

Hahah I found that quite funny! :lol:

 

 

 

And yeah I wrote one once but It never got shown. Probably as it totally disproved the fact that the mossies in Varrock Sewers couldn't possibly of gotten into their unless they grew up there as babies. :? :lol:

i had writen one to Bob the Cat in September, but it never got published(sp?) <.< :cry:

any logic in it?? it looked like 1 1 2 3 5 8... but your numbers look weird

i dont play anymore... i think rs is ruined

I've geometrically trisected and angle via folding... does that count?

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).
