Leap day babies?
A friend of mine has his birthday on feb 29th. He was turning 49 and me and my gf showed up to his party with balloons with the number 12 on them (since that’s how many actual birthdays he’d had).
That is why the explanation continues: “(other than pedantic exceptions due to calendar issues or timezone alterations, or someone dying before their birthday, or being born on a leap day, none of which apply in this case)”.
are we sure that none apply in this case? which BTS members still have upcoming birthdays that they could die before
I just checked the Wikipedia articles and it seems that two of them have already had their birthday this year, five not.
4 is a trick question. Both had zero shark attacks, the so-called “shark” in Jaws was in fact a symbol of predatory capitalism and its amoral violence against the proletariat
- More than 3
Regarding #9’s alternative, “Not counting Canberra, what city was the most recently founded state capital of Australia?” is a bit of a bad question in and of itself, given that Canberra isn’t a state capital, since the ACT isn’t a state but rather a territory of Australia (alongside the Northern Territory).
1 isn’t considered a prime number so three can’t ve constructed from just primes
It says even number though
4 then - if 1 isn’t a prime, then 1+4 doesn’t count.
1+4=5 not 4 and 4 isn’t prime either, so idk what you meant. 4 is the sum of two primes 2+2, which I thought was what you were asking at first.
I screwed up twice here. Forgot 2 was a prime somehow.
1+4 was just a typo, meant 1+3.
2+2
Jesus, I forgot 2 was a prime, what a dolt.
1+4 is 5 though.
Yeah, typo. But I was wrong anyway! :-)
Yes, but keep in mind:
I can’t read
Touché
I am disappointed in Lemmings’ collective lack of Savvy regarding math trivia.
Next thing you’ll be telling me you don’t know how to prove there’s an infinite number of prime twins.
Huh, I figured neither movie was a Spielberg movie. Turns out both are
He really has a thing for including shark attacks in all his movies, if you pay attention there’s tons of subtle shark stack references in all of his films.
Yeah it was a fucking massacre in the opening scene of saving private ryan.
*Angry Santos Dumont sounds*
Then what happened?
8 is yes, but I don’t have enough space to fit the proof in a post.
Easy, only relevant part: defined as being > 1
from the explanation:
This is a famous, centuries-old open question in math known as Goldbach’s conjecture. Mathematicians widely believe that it is true,it has held true for every number checked up to 4 ⋅ 1018, but since it’s impossible to check every number, we can’t assume it’s universally true
Way more than enough to make any thing true on the interweb these days
Woosh
Today I triggered a guy who hates FTP and he gave me 4 whole nested comments ranting about how bad it is under the hood. Maybe you just don’t wanna fit the proof.
Regarding 4. Do lawyer attacks count as shark attacks?
8 (about Goldbachs conjecture) is one that I don’t quite get. Isn’t the number 8 already proof that this isn’t true (sum of 4+4)?
8 is the sum of 5+3 both of which are primes. I think the Conjecture just states that there is a sum of two primes not every sum consists only of primes
Ah gotcha! I thought it meant exclusively prime numbers
7+1
1 is not a prime number. It would have to be 3+5
Number 7 is gonna be a real question one day. Wonder whether it’ll be pneumatic tubes or matter transporters that gets there first?
Okay, who built the last penny farthing bicycle then?
Who built the last CRT TV?
Who built the last commercial sailing ship?
Who built the last steam locomotive?
Who built the last steam locomotive?
As long as there are old men there will always be steam trains. They always run on dedicated lines between the hours of 9:15 a.m. And 10:02 a.m. every 5th Thursday unless they cannot be bothered or it’s raining.
The point is so far above you, you didn’t even see it fly past
Nah, small airplanes are relatively easy to build. Even if we eventually stop large-scale production there’ll always be the occasional hobbiest putting a one-seater together.

Production models.
number 10 is Ringo
Debatable.
John? Is that you?
idk man, seems pretty straightforward to me

Are you a dozen or so thoughts down? Yes? Do you deserve love for the perfect share? Very yes!
I’ve heard from multiple sources (all dubious) that Ringo was the adhesive that held the band together during contentious times. Usually that role is appointed to the heart but in this case it was appointed to the Ringo. The drummer.
Alternatively he was the adult in the room
he was… the skin?
