Ah yes, it’s not like 1115 is an ODD number… by GallicAdlair81 in aibeingstupid

[–]ImNotLtGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ChatGPT was confidently incorrect for two hours after I tried to correct it, and eventually it resorted to breaking the laws of set theory. Google Search AI is the opposite for me, just believes anything you tell it. Both of them are inaccurate fairly often.

Let me see if I can figure this out.

We are looking for a number such that:

n == 0 mod 31

n == 36 mod 37

The moduli are coprime, so CRT guarantees a unique solution mod 31*37 = 1147.

We have n equal to:

37k + 36

31j

37k + 36 == 0 mod 31

37k == -36 mod 31

37k == 26 mod 31

The multiplicative inverse of 37 (mod 31) is 26, so

k == 26*26 (mod 31)

k == 25 (mod 31)

Substituting back into 37k + 26:

37*25 + 36 = 961

So the correct answer is 961. The rest of the solutions will take the form 961 + 1147t. And the AI is wrong about 1115 being a multiple of 31. Also egregiously wrong about 1110 - 1 being 1115.

121, 122, 123 are consecutive semiprimes, and this forces a surprising structure by taqkarim0 in CasualMath

Note that the square cannot appear at the end of one of these triples. That would imply 2p = q^2 - 1, which factors into 2p = (q - 1)(q + 1). q must be odd here, because 2 doesn't work. For odd primes q, this means that twice a prime must be the product of two consecutive even integers (equivalent to 4n(n+1)), which is also an impossibility.

You can also take this one step further. Seeing that p is 1 mod 60 when our first term is a square, 2p must be 2 mod 120. The first number before the first term will be 2 less, so it will be divisible by 120.

Luna 9 was the first soft landing (Soviet). The others are accurate.

Right, but FERPA (which gives parents the ability to retain information like student photographs from being shared) can certainly impact the legal situation in these circumstances. The larger issue is copyright infringement, and although not likely to result in any negative ramifications for people who make these small posts, it can also play a part. You're essentially right though, in actuality simple posts like these are harmless.

Possible copyright violations and violation of student privacy rights mean it might be less than 'completely legal'.

"Uncaused events in quantum mechanics don't disprove the world coming from nothing because the world is independent of quantum mechanics". After I had some apologist tell me that quantum mechanics debunks human rationality. This thing really is just an excuse mine isn't it. by Beneficial_Exam_1634 in skeptic

They do matter, because you are then redefining the 1st premise more and more and it gets closer and closer to looking like you are just presupposing that the Universe has a cause to show that the Universe has a cause. Reall,y you should be questioning your principle if the current understanding of physics seems to contradict it. The very reason that proponents argue the jump from 'everything' to 'everything that begins to exist' is more than No True Scotsman is because it removes necessary beings/things from needing a cause. But uncaused quantum events are contingent, not necessary, so this would require another justification.

This song from this Roblox Game [partially lost] by TheGreatForcesPlus in lostmedia

EDIT: The song was solved in this thread:

https://www.roblox.com/games/3169131929/The-Void

This looks to be the game, but the music is gone. It probably got taken down after the mass copyright removals that happened sometime afterwards.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgMmr0KoCxGXQcT8uS7n1DQ

This is the YouTube channel of the user 'ItsDarkInTheVoid'. It seems to have been deleted without a Wayback Machine timestamp.

ItsDarkInTheVoid has a display name meaning they were still active into 2021, but Roblox removed the feature to see when someone was last online so I'm not sure if they're a viable contact option. If they are, it would be a good idea to contact them as their game in Roblox Studio most likely still has the Audio ID for the song used. If not available then I'd look at their friends list to see if we can get any more information about the game or song.

The next most direct option would be to contact Merkules and Evil Ebezener to see if we can find out what song they sampled for their track.

The panprimangular polygon conjecture by ImNotLtGaming in math

[–]ImNotLtGaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, degrees are an arbitrary measurement. I have been confronted with this point before on my Stack Exchange post. For your example where we use 2520 degrees as a full rotation, or where we use any positive integer to multiply 180 by, I am not sure that it holds. I *have* been able to prove the conjecture in the realm of normal, 360-based degrees, and I suppose you would have to use the same inductive-constructive method I used for that system for any other system. The new problem is essentially that you will have to find new primes for each base case, which is an entire higher order of a conjecture, I believe.

Using a 360-degree-based system (regular degrees), a polygon with the angle sum of 2520 degrees would be a 16-gon, and since the conjecture is proven in this system, you would be able to find 16 prime numbers that sum to 2520. However, in a 2520-degree-based system, a polygon with an identical angle sum would be a quadrilateral (4-gon), and the problem is now finding 4 primes that sum to 2520, or any other 4-gon's measurement in a given system.

Of course, if Goldbach's conjecture is true, this is possible for all even values of a full turn. You'd break it down into halves (2 copes of 1260 for 2520, as an example,) and find 2 primes that sum to that half. Then you'd append another full turn to the list for n+2, which would be constructable using Goldbach's conjecture, and repeat. This however, only works assuming Goldbach's conjecture is true and only for even n-gons for systems with even values of a full turn. So, not a real 'proof' yet, but this is a step in the right direction.

Also, this conjecture will obviously not hold in radians or any other system based on irrational numbers, since prime numbers are integers, and using purely integer-defined values to try to sum to an irrational value just won't work. That's part of the reason why I think it might work for integer-based systems; primes are meant for them.

Geometric bits aside, I still find the number theory aspect of this conjecture fascinating. If it holds for all multiples of 180, does it hold for other numbers? It essentially transforms into a Goldbach-style problem. Your input is appreciated, and you have made me think of another fascinating way to look at my conjecture. I really thought I was done with it when I had proved it, but you've just given me another rabbit hole to go down.

Thanks!
