@JaxWeb

The next question was "Why are exams easier nowadays?".....I would really like to know the answer please....

'what a hilarious misunderstanding'

@starofcctv94 They should use pencil then.

@starofcctv94 I wrote it out once, for an exam. I was the only one though, there wasn't enough room for my classmates to also write it out.

Ramsey Theory: "Put a bit of f**king passion into it!"

[starofcctv94]

@Alexbrainbox Oh, In that case still no. Grahams number is so massive you couldn't write it out even if you able to write on each individual atom in the observable universe.

[Alexbrainbox]

@starofcctv94 I mean, actually physically write the numbers smaller, like zoom in far so you would use less ink, rather than writing it mesoscopically?

[starofcctv94]

@Alexbrainbox Graham's number is the maximum value for this problem to work. It's the largest number ever used in an equation.

[Alexbrainbox]

Uh... Surely you could just write Graham's number smaller?

When an equation is found and held, literally, to an orbit, we can walk away for 15 years. This, concidered the best effort, worth not continuing by anyone but you. Simplified efforts, held until an agreeable return, is not appropiate.

I see greed and power in holding knowlege here, with a bunch of loud mouth louts, stringing your rule along.

EDIT: lol some of my sentences cannibalized on some others when I condensed my post to 500 chars... I think you can gather what I was getting at though, you're clearly far brighter than average ^.^

@Ensirum Yeah I concur there is an infinite amount of primes, what I was saying would require "going past ∞" which is both mathematically and philosophically impossible. I've seen the proof (well, glanced at some of the many pages XD) the proves what your statement about the decimals (which is if I remember correctly (I'm almost a decade out of college now... my memory of things I don't use often is fading fast...) related to the proofs for the "ultimate" mathematical proof: 1+1=2)
