  1. I have a strong feeling that today's mscroggs.co.uk Advent problem has a bug

    mscroggs.co.uk/

    Or am I missing something?

    (Double-checked with my son and he too feels there's at least one typo).

    EDIT: No error, we unconsciously set an arbitrary restriction on the digit position that made it impossible.

  6. 🎉 Terence Tao spins a yarn about a 50-year-old math problem that finally met its match thanks to the unholy trinity of #AI, internet strangers, and dusty old #books. 🤓 Expecting a gripping thriller? Nah, just another mathematician’s version of a fireside #chat. 📚💤

  7. At least it was easier to calculate than the last math exam I had in college. Given a parabula ax^2 up to a height h, rotate it around the y axis to make a vase, fill it to half its volume, to what angle can you tilt this vase before the water spills (disregard physical effects)

  8. Question: Is the following statement true (or under which conditions is it true):

    \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} f_n(x) = f(x) \implies \lim_{n \to \infty} f_n(g(n)) = \lim_{n \to \infty} f(g(n)) \]

  9. My poor #cpu.
    I've spent the #morning on #coding and #implementing a #math problem that tries to find #candidates that break #collatzconjecture ... If you are thinking about this problem, go and touch grass and do something way more #productive with your time.

  10. #mathproblem Find all positive integers a,b,c such that a^b-b^c = (a+b)^(c-b).

    I found two: (2,1,1) and (7,3,5). I have no idea if there are any more.

  11. Three congruent squares. Show that the red dashed lines are congruent. #geometry #mathpuzzle #mathproblem

  13. #MathProblem if you throw a dice 10 times, and each time let's assume you'll get nr 1 🎲 (10 times in a row). How many times you'll have to flip a coin and get the same side to reach the probability equivalent of throwing a dice with the mark 1, 10 times in a row? @syscrash call your friends :apple_1: 😜
