(And Captain Blank 1 year and 3 days).
Funny, a half a year ago I was thinking whether or not I will reach 2,000 posts by the end of the year and my conclusion was No, but close to it. Apparently, I have never been more wrong (I guess I divided by zero somewhere).
Anybody interested what my first two questions were?
My first question I think is really interesting:
Does there exists non-trivial solutions to,  .
In this case trivial are linear functions,  . |

If you take a number out of R and take its power, it will be a number in R again and not Q. | How about (-1/2)^(-1/2)?

| | My first was when I asked if my equation for finding the area of regular polygons was correct, actually I just wanted to see if it had been done before
And I thought that I wouldn't reach 500 posts by Christmas |

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - The Litany Against Fear, "Dune" by Frank Herbert |
