Goldbach Conjecture: Every EVEN integer, greater than 2, can be written as the Sum of Two Prime numbers!
e. g. 7 = 5 + 2
18 = 5 + 13 = 7 + 11 etc.
This Decomposition of Integers into Prime numbers is called as Goldbach partition.
Goldbach Conjecture (Another Form): Every Integer, greater than 5, can be written as the Sum of Three Prime numbers!
e. g. 7 = 2 + 2 + 3
20 = 2 + 7 + 11 = 2 + 5 + 13 etc.
Goldbach Conjecture (Weak): All ODD Integers, greater than 7, can be written as the Sum of Three Odd Prime numbers!
e. g. 9 = 3 + 3 + 3
23 = 5 + 5 + 13 = 5 + 7 + 11 etc.
IMPORTANT: All these Forms of Goldbach Conjecture are STILL NOT PROVEN TO BE TRUE/FALSE!!
However, they have been Verified for numbers as large as 10[sup]14[/sup].

A Mathematician, a Programmer and an Electrical Engineer were on death row waiting to go in the electric chair.
The Mathematician was brought forward first. "Do you have anything you want to say? asked the executioner, strapping him in.
Yes, replied the Mathematician "π has been the most amazing number i've seen in my life!". "Wow?" said the executioner and flicked the switch and nothing happened. Under State law, if an execution attempt fails, the prisoner is to be released, so the Mathematician was released.
Then the Programmer was brought forward. Do you have anything you want to say?
Yes, there are too many bugs in your prison.
"Hemipterans" and the executioner flicked the switch, and again nothing happened, so the Programmer was released.
Then the Electrical Engineer was brought forward. Do you have anything you want to say? asked the executioner.
Yes, replied he. If you swap the red and the blue wires over, you might make this thing work.

#143 Re: Jokes » Another Blonde Joke » 2010-05-28 19:37:54
I ran into this one...
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.
"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari!"

Consider a Triangle with vertices (6, 9) (9, 1) (1, 6).
Perimeter = √34 + √73 + √89
34 + 73 + 89 = 196
196 = (13+1)[sup]2[/sup]
169 = 13[sup]2[/sup]
961 = 31[sup]2[/sup]
#145 Re: Puzzles and Games » Find a number... » 2010-05-28 16:47:52
You need to check 2 more cases.
CASE-IV: 9(11a+b) = 10x9
11a+b = 10 ⇒ a=1 and b=-1 Not PossibleCASE-V: 9(11a+b) = 19x18
11a+b = 38 ⇒ a=3 and b=5
a+b+c = 19
c = 19 - (a+b) = 19 - (3+5) = 11 Not Possible
I always miss one thing or the other..........

Is it that displaying the "Live Time" can cause little problem with Slow Connections?
If yes, then the idea of "current PC time" is not bad at all !!
