Yes, that's basically what I said and meant in the parent post. I was suggesting the article call it a "graphical" solution approach, not analytical. And if I wasn't clear - it was…

Good article - but couple of points. I'm not formally trained Mathematician, but I think this is not an analytic proof - it lacks rigour. It is more a graphical approach that appea…

Very nicely written article! Easily approachable for someone in high school. I just had one problem in reading it - the somewhat inconsistent use of fonts - often in the same line …

Not a palindrome, but on a related note, the crab canon by Douglas Hofstadter is a nice read (better if read in context of the book) : https://genius.com/Douglas-hofstadter-crab-ca…

This was recently covered in depth in "Now I Know" [0] - a random corner of Internet with quirky collection of articles. I have been a happy reader these past many weeks. [0] https…

It can rap :) silly though (Stan, fan, pan, man!) I'm an idiot, man! So, now this is my own place. And I didn't come here for all this. This is one of my own… I'm no different. For…

radare2 is an other open source alternative

Sorry - I'm not able to understand the post. I fully understand the problem - I ask this question sometimes during interviews - with two bracket characters. Say, () and []. So a st…

Outrageous yes, but hardly unexpected - given the Trumps have done big game hunting in past

That leads me to think what can be even more unsatisfying proof. How about the following: It is easy to see that the last digit of x^5 is same as k^5, where k is the last digit of …

The critical part is not more food, but very unequal distribution of food. Quoting: "..from the time of the dinosaurs to about 3 million years ago, nutrients were evenly distribute…
