That's for pansies. I'll check in later and see what the results are. Holy crap. And people think me and my ions are boring. Ok - just because I'm a nice guy - here's an easy one. In the Fletcher's Paradox, the Greek philosopher Zeno (who was the inspiration for the Socratic Method) stated that for motion to be occurring, an object must change the position which it occupies. In keeping with the name of the paradox, let's use an arrow as the example. For motion to occur, the arrow must move to where it is not. Thus there are two states - where it is and where it is not. If we think of time as points (or instants) the arrow cannot move to where it is not and it cannot move to where it is because it is already there. Thus, motion cannot occur at any point (or instant) of time - everything should remain motionless. Solve that one - it's actually easy. It can if, for a instant, or point, it isn't an arrow. True, but it is an arrow. Changing states is cheating. :) |

Nothing needs proving. The Salmonbait Conjecture was used to state the Goldbach's Conjecture. What is the Salmonbait Conjecture, you ask. Well, here it is, simply stated: "Every prime number can be written as the difference between an even integer greater than 2 and a prime number." -- John Have a Super Christmas and a Spectacular New Year! |

I cant answer anything math, but my accountant has his Masters in Finite........ He can start talking numbers, and put me to sleep, or have me reaching for earplugs. |
