Hi,

If you subtract consecutive terms, you see that you get:


Subtracting again, you get

You could find the quadratic.  However, another way is to realize that

, which, after solving, gives

Hey guys!  I haven't been online... here's a couple answers

Any new problems here?  I'm up for some of these, as I need to hone my trig.

Hi,

I'm sorry if I'm posting these a bit late; I recently joined this site.

I heard somewhere in the 2050s, but I could be wrong.  Imagine the slogan: "Immortality in a bottle."  That would be something.  However, even if it does become possible, there are certain ethical dilemmas that could be raised.

True, true.  I dropped the E because I couldn't figure out a way to fit it in, but your way works perfectly bob.

Hi everyone,

I discovered this forum in a search for interesting logic puzzles and programming exercises; ever since then, I have meandered through each of the quirky sections and found many topics discussed that interest me and many people after my own heart.  I have always loved solving that challenge math problem, writing that tricky program (like a word processor), cracking that seemingly impossible code, and this seems like a great place to talk with people that have similar interests.  It probably is also a good place to start getting into topics that have previously eluded me, such as calculus, and hone my skills in areas that I already know, such as trigonometry. 

By the way, I am going into ninth grade. 

Here's a fairly simple code to crack:

Hydrogen Iodine.  Holmium Tungsten Argon Yttrium Oxygen Uranium?

2011 is also the sum of three consecutive primes:  661, 673, and 677.

Furthermore, 2011= 39^2 + 17^2 + 7^2.
