I guess that was number 107. I like prime numbers!
Because on floors with quadratic tiles these make up pretty long rectangles which are easily counted

Let's apply the sieve of Eratosthenes by clicking one post after another.

This one actually I didn't know, nice!
Sieve of Atkin

Just accidentally realized if you take equally sided triangles and make new triangles out of those then "tile prime numbers" are quite easily detected
(Not 1 4 9 16)

If you take right angled triangles
then these prime numbers get more complicated
(Not 2 4 8 9 16 18 25 32...) (is it strictly right angled isosceles triangles, Geodreieck, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodreieck? Hmm I guess that's ok also with just right angled)

Anybody wants to try general triangles or rectangles or whatever you can arrange as a new same type of thing in 2D
(such as general quadrilateral or how you call this in English, those http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral)

"Tile Prime numbers" are those that you cannot arrange as new same type triangles/rectangles... (But arranging them in only one direction is forbidden, except 2)

Kan kalla mig för idiot, det har jag ingenting emot!
Ne natürlich nicht niemals nein das kann nicht sein...
Viel Spaß;-)

("Fermat zeigte, dass die ersten fünf Fermat-Zahlen Primzahlen sind, und vermutete im Jahr 1637, dass dies auf alle Fermat-Zahlen zutrifft. Diese Vermutung wurde von Leonhard Euler 1732 widerlegt, indem er mit 641 einen echten Teiler von F5 = 4294967297 fand")
A lot of work...

That one, too:

(" Im Jahr 1894 fand Johann Gustav Hermes nach mehr als zehnjähriger Anstrengung eine Konstruktionsvorschrift für das regelmäßige 65537-Eck und beschrieb diese in einem Manuskript von mehr als 200 Seiten, welches sich heute in einem speziell dafür angefertigten Koffer in der Mathematischen Bibliothek der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen befindet.") That guy must have been an aspie.... Or really not??? Going to translate those later...

Graf Zahl ist mir zu banal

This is also a reply to all with those numbers

Start drawing! Or cutting or whatever ... My A4 paper is already full of numbers and triangles

Ok here some translation

This one is also in the english version

"Fermat numbers and Fermat primes were first studied by Pierre de Fermat, who conjectured (but admitted he could not prove) that all Fermat numbers are prime. Indeed, the first five Fermat numbers F0,...,F4 are easily shown to be prime. However, this conjecture was refuted by Leonhard Euler in 1732 when he showed that 641*6700417= 4294967297"

This is about a guy named Johann Gustav Hermes that invented after 10 years of work a construction priciple for the equal sided 65537 polygon. He wrote a masnuscript with more then 200 pages, which is now in a specially constructed suitcase in the mathematics library of the universtiy of Göttingen.

I don't use formulas in math the answers just come to me if I look at the sequence long enough. But I don't associate letters and numbers letters in math to me are just place holders or unknown variables.

Yeah, no I didn't mean that just that 107 is about at half of the numbers of comments here, which makes it in practise very difficult to click there through all of them.
Searching your original comment is very difficult, if it exists at all? I tried to find it and gave up



Was it that what you wanted to say? That it is difficult to start right at the end to write something here?

After going down 1/4 of all comments I chose 107 and just went wild about prime numbers. That kind of typical taking a branch out to something totally different, totally useless stuff in the original context.
Somebody was making jokes about Fibonacci numbers so why not also about prime numbers....
Häää? What the hack...

Dear Sylkat, I don't put my faith in papers alone rather finding about one's ancestry from diagnostic tests though their not cheap, I've actually had a comprehensive set of DNA tests to determine a great many things not merely genetic diseases but, many other things...

I'm back and unpopular as ever.

*bear hugs*

And look what we have here

I feel particularly unpopular of late, I suppose

I haven't been here since my 17th so I'm unpopular even on WP.

GIVE IT UP FOR THE MOST UNPOPULAR PERSON EVAAAAA ! !! !! !! !! !! !!

The thread is alive again!

And peoples have returned! *hugs*

I'd have to challenge you on that one

And Kjas is here!

And so am I, heh.

Where did all of you come from? . Hiya!

From some dark shadows

I like the shadows. Somewhere to hide, but still watch the world
