Re: weight lifting miracle today

I'll do 5 with 1009 again and get better results on the loop length...

Re: weight lifting miracle today

mult by 5 to next number and using 1009 prime for mod reveals that it looped twice in 1008, at a length of 504.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

Hi;

Here are some primes you can work with:


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

I think I'll eat something else now too.
My book lists all the primes and the residue result loops from 3 to 1999.
the book is hardcover, about and inch thick, 1.25" with covers.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

You should be able to improve on that with a program.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

oh no doubt!!  Maybe after I get to more important tasks such as getting all the elements weights into my head and back out as needed without error.  Also, I must say, googles new terms of service are wonderfully written in plain simple English.  I am so impressed I wrote to them.

What are there new terms of service?

Re: weight lifting miracle today

I don't remember it word for word, it is about 900 words plus or minus a multiple of 22.
I won't try to summarize it since that would be silly since they already wrote it in plain english.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

The whole world is interconnected, so I guess maybe it might have something to do with PIPA and SOPA being written so poorly, just a guess.

Yes, the world is really connected now. Anybody can talk to anyone else, no matter what country they are in.

Well I wouldn't go that far.  Some people live without computers still and sell newspapers and wash windshields in a downtown, and have missing teeth too.

That is true. Still a lot of very poor people.

There are probably some happy animals in the forest (les bois/ le for^et) that eat better than some of the most unfortunate of people on this planet.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

I know, I see a lot homeless people here too. It is a disgrace, especially now it
is very cold outside.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

Are there more homeless women between 22 and 44 years of age in the USA or more homeless men of the same age range?
Any idea?  I don't know the answer.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

I see mostly men. I do not think that a woman could survive very long in that environment.

I see mostly men as well, however I have seen a couple women that certainly look homeless, not sure if they are though.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

I have seen a few women too. I do not know what the national statistic is. I am sure
whatever they say it is, is probably a gross understimation.

Your last sentence says you are sure and probably, just thought i'd point that out.  I won't pick on you unless u don't care.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

Hi John;

I am sure it is some kind of overestimation, a small one or maybe a gross one. Sorry to be
but what I am saying is that they would rather sweep the problem under the rug.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

Well if I ever become rich or win the lottery, I promise I will
build a home in a town I love, and allow homeless to stay
there 23 hours and 59 minutes a day.  They have to leave
for one minute at least every day to get some fresh air.
Gotta have some rules, right?

That is the first time I ever heard anybody think of the less fortunate after imagining winning the lottery.

Re: weight lifting miracle today

I'm not really attached to possessions, though I wouldn't mind having a second clarinet in case the first one breaks down in a concert that I play every other year!  but i would like have enough money to live in a cheap apartment in the north-east and
move whenever I feel like it in search of my true love...  The leftover lottery money can go to the homes for the homeless.
