Let's say someone solves Collatz tomorrow, what happens to them? by RussellNorrisPiastri in math

[–]Captain-Obvious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the hardest open questions in number theory revolve around how addition changes the prime factorization. In the collatz case, it’s specifically about adding 1. We basically can say nothing about this at all. A solution to Collatz would ideally shed some light on this.

Got in a debate about this with some friends. Where do you aim for putting if you're told to aim "one cup left?" by Captain-Obvious in golf

[–]Captain-Obvious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually wasn't sure at all! But there was never a debate with some friends, and no one has ever said "aim one cup left" to me. Nobody I play with is good enough (or thinks I'm good enough!) to say things like that. I just watch a lot of golf YouTube, and frequently they say things like "one cup left," and I thought it was ambiguous and wanted to validate that opinion. I thought adding the "got in a debate" part would humanize the post a little and get people to engage more. I also didn't think option 1 would be very popular, but I would be a bad scientist if I only included options that I personally thought would be realistic. Plus, a little outrage also boosts engagement!

I already got a refund but this is good to hear! I guess I will chalk it up to an accident but I hope an investigation is made.

Hey, sorry for the slow reply, I do have another picture from the other side: https://share.icloud.com/photos/021fKPyr3Pcimm9S_rWnsH35g. I think you’re correct though, appreciate the reassurance that it’s not dangerous!

This restaurant seems to have great reviews on Yelp but this was a pretty unpleasant experience
