- omh 16y agoI understand what you did, but the mathematician in me cringed at the word "proof" in that comment.
- itsnotvalid 16y agoMay be the word "fact" would be better to describe these kind of numbers.

- guelo 16y agoThat looked like a mathematically rigorous proof to me. What was wrong with it?
- likpok 16y agoProof by construction is perfectly valid, if usually too difficult to be useful.
