Re: Bafflers?

First of all, you have a nice maxima - minima problem outstanding, a nice proof concerning a n bonacci sequence and a Toricelli point to find.

Re: Bafflers?

I am giving up on Torricelli for now.

You told me there is no formula for the n-bonacci sequence and I am working and the parallelogram,but am not making progress.

Re: Bafflers?

1) Why are you giving up on Fermat - Toricelli?

2) I told you? That means kaboobly doo in mathematics.

3) That maxima and minima is a fun way to spend a year or two.

I just am.

Well that is too much GF's for me!

Yes,but I have more chances of solving some more series with your help than your problem without your help!

No GF's are involved.

Do you not think that gAr will detect my presence in your solution?

Chances? Did you not see a guy posting a probability of 1.75? I never want to see another probability mentioned ever again.

Re: Bafflers?

Well what's the probability of you seeing probability? big_smile

Anyway,I think we had this discussion before,about you helping me on gAr's problems,and I remember that in the end you agreed.

Re: Bafflers?

That was another guy. I change ever 2 weeks or so as I become rejuvenated.

Do you have any idea whether or not that sum converges?

Re: Bafflers?

hi bobym

Well I think it is convergent,and we can use one of many possible methods to prove that.

That is double plus ungood. I do not recognize that constant!

Re: Bafflers?

That is what it is summing too so that takes care of the sum and the limit. But I am unable to find a Ramanujan like answer to that decimal.

Hi bobby

No,it comes to 0.6046...=pi/(3sqrt(3))

Hi bobbym

Whoops!

I was thinking of a different one when I posted 0.6046...

I am worried that it can not be detected as a symbolic constant.
