Can Anyone Spot the Error?

oups sorry.
I’m reading the way I am driving: poorly but fast

[spoiler=isn’t it obvious?]Nine is not a prime number ya bozos![/spoiler]

:stuck_out_tongue:

[spoiler=here’s the REAL answer!]He’s not really Prussian!!![/spoiler]

:!:

[spoiler=intro text]answer[/spoiler]

[spoiler=intro text]9 isnt so prime[/spoiler]

lol @ Thierro :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve had math in English in school but since English is not my native language I’ve forgotten what a prime number is… You see what I’m gettin at?.. No? Ok. :sigh:

What the hell is a prime number?! :scream:

I had to explain this to the boyfriend last night. :sure:

A prime number is a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself.

Right :slight_smile: Thanx hifi :wink:

Shhhhh! :wink:

Gah! Sorry! I deleted that part, you may want to edit your post to get rid of the quote too. :trout:

btw.: is anyone else here who cannot accept that a zero vector is called vektor?
it has no direction, no position change, it’s just a dot.

I demand either to add 1 to the primenumbers or to expel the zerovektor from the vektors.

The zero vector is not just a vector, it’s a SUPER vector, because it has any direction you want. Anyway, it has to be a vector or else it would screw up physics. You have to be able to move 0 metres in any given direction. I don’t know why, but I’m sure it’s true. :stuck_out_tongue:

then I demand adding 1 to prime numbers.
It’s dividable through 1 and itself

If you consider 1 to be prime, the Unique Factorization Theorem breaks. Any positive integer can be written uniquely as the product of primes. That is, 20 = 2 * 2 * 5. If you include one, then you also have 20 = 1 * 2 * 2 * 5 and 20 = 1 * 1 * 1 * 1 * 1 * 2 * 2 * 5 and so on. Mathematicians like rules and such.

The Boston Globe issued a correction on the next issue stating that they were incorrect :slight_smile:

They read our posts! :love:

:sure:

The article was written in 1995 btw :slight_smile:

…trough a time machine! :cool:
