Ah I see, sorry about that. I can see how that could get boring.

But I won't let you get the chance to rest it. >=D LOL

Coda - you got to the 'creative numbers' before i could explain it. =)

Potironette 01-17-2016 05:43 AM

Potironette 01-17-2016 09:03 PM

10th prime number...I had better not have counted wrong

Coda 01-17-2016 10:30 PM

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29... nope, you didn't count wrong!

30.

Potironette 01-17-2016 10:41 PM

11th prime number xD

trystan830 01-17-2016 11:07 PM

32!

Potironette 01-17-2016 11:42 PM

Two threes side by side make me

trystan830 01-18-2016 12:27 AM

34.

boring.

Coda 01-18-2016 01:44 AM

35. Well, not every number can be super interesting... although what IS interesting is that there's no such thing as an "uninteresting" number. If there were, it would be a paradox, because being uninteresting would itself be interesting.

Potironette 01-18-2016 02:30 AM

Thirty-six
...in other words, # are always interesting
but "not interesting" is "interesting"
so if a # is "not interesting", it is "interesting"
Therefore all things are interesting because not interesting is interesting... no wait, this only applies to numbers
Why are all numbers interesting?

Coda 01-18-2016 05:00 PM

37

You got the proof exactly correct. If there were an uninteresting number, that fact would itself be interesting, and therefore the number would not be uninteresting. so that's a paradox. By reductio ad absurdum, that means there are no uninteresting numbers.

Potironette 01-18-2016 08:03 PM

2 less than 40

-searches up "reductio ad absurdum"-
-head hurts trying to understand the examples. Actually making an example is harder-

Coda 01-18-2016 08:25 PM

39

The short explanation of "reductio ad absurdum" is that you prove that something is false by demonstrating how assuming it's true produces a paradox or obvious falsehood. (Or vice versa, you prove it true by demonstrating that assuming it's false makes one.)

Potironette 01-18-2016 09:12 PM

Four in the tens place, zero in the ones place

If melons are orange but only only oranges are orange then melons cannot be orange.
If the cat is scared of heights but it climbed a tree it cannot be scared of heights
If triangles have four sides but the definition of a triangle means it has three sides then it does not have four sides

Ahh okay, I think get it now.

trystan830 01-18-2016 11:04 PM

41.

that's a boring number....

Potironette 01-19-2016 12:54 AM

42

41 is a prime number :p

trystan830 01-19-2016 12:57 AM

43

well 42 is the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything. XD

Potironette 01-19-2016 01:46 AM

trystan830 01-19-2016 11:05 AM

whoops, i double posted... i got that message saying i had to wait before i could post again, so i thought it didn't post the first time. oopsie....

Coda 01-19-2016 12:31 PM

Well, I would have forgiven the double-post -- it happens to everyone occasionally! -- but this is uncomfortably close to 50 for my tastes. ;) So I'll reset you anyway. Nyah. :P

Zero.

trystan830 01-19-2016 12:48 PM

actually... i expected that would happen if you were the next to post....

so, One. Ein. Uno. Un.

Coda 01-19-2016 02:26 PM

Potironette 01-21-2016 07:54 PM

Twelve
spelling it right now, the letters making the word 12 look really weird

trystan830 01-22-2016 01:19 AM

13

agreed! we're used to seeing the numbers.

Potironette 01-22-2016 07:56 PM

fourteen

But I think twelve looks especially weird. Why a "v"? >_<
