chew on this for a while.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach's_conjecture

And don't prove the weak conjecture.

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. :)

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

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."

Tom, while you were away, Forte released 5.0 and I thought you might
