Yes, that's basically what I said and meant in the parent post. I was suggesting the article call it a "graphical" solution approach, not analytical. And if I wasn't clear - it wasn't my intent to treat this any les

Good article - but couple of points. I'm not formally trained Mathematician, but I think this is not an analytic proof - it lacks rigour. It is more a graphical approach that appeals to the reader's intuition. I could be wrong her

Very nicely written article! Easily approachable for someone in high school. I just had one problem in reading it - the somewhat inconsistent use of fonts - often in the same line was not pleasant. The numeric zero ('0') in partic

Not a palindrome, but on a related note, the crab canon by Douglas Hofstadter is a nice read (better if read in context of the book) : https://genius.com/Douglas-hofstadter-crab-canon-annotated

The question is, should a university a. maximize for absolute value of success of its alums (for some definition of "success"), or b. maximize for the value it adds to the student (and hence the society) by considering the differ

I have been using this as the PDF viewer on Windows for few months now, and like it. Thanks for creating this. I like the fast bookmark lookup (t+start typing), vim like bindings. Dark mode also works well. Real estate is maximally used for

My wife is learning to hand-stand and jump rope. She has learnt "castor-boarding" (somewhat similar to skateboarding) - I should mention that we didn't get to learn to skate as kids. I learnt to ride a fixed gear cycle - as a

Sorry - I'm not able to understand the post. I fully understand the problem - I ask this question sometimes during interviews - with two bracket characters. Say, () and []. So a string like "([)]" is not correctly balanced

That leads me to think what can be even more unsatisfying proof. How about the following: It is easy to see that the last digit of x^5 is same as k^5, where k is the last digit of x. Then the problem reduces to proving that the ten possibil

In my day job, I work in a company that is into generation of device drivers from a high level specification - so I can talk forever on this topic! But other comments here are already spot on - and I don't have much to add. But the que
