Re: Add 13 more and post it forever.

Hi phrontister;

Power towers go from the top down. Making them much bigger than going from the bottom up. What post am I checking?

Post #458, that features the number 5941 with a heap of squares and factorials.

post #458 is correct!

6214 = 6 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 13

Thanks, Bobby! smile

I was keen to find out if that was a dud post or not...and this also reestablishes faith in my calculator because that was a HUUUGE sum! smile I'd thought about installing Maxima and trying that sum out on their calculator, but after reading some of the blurb on their site it looks like there's a fair learning curve and I'm glad I don't have to do that now. But maybe one day I will...

Hi phrontister;

I'd thought about installing Maxima and trying that sum out on their calculator, but after reading some of the blurb on their site it looks like there's a fair learning curve and I'm glad I don't have to do that now.

I would very much suggest that you do install it. My friend, you have a unique mind. Here we would you say you have the cracker mentality. Perhaps you are now the smartest guy on this forum. Once you apply yourself to learning one, your results will soar. I have been urging you in that direction, I know sooner or later you will, why not make it sooner?

Why haven't you petitioned MIF to be made a real member? So you can send and receive private messages. He will grant you that right immediately.

Re: Add 13 more and post it forever.

Hi Bobby,

...why not make it sooner?

Time constraints. sad Work's far too demanding time-wise at the moment, and I can't see it easing for quite a while. As it is, I've got some things simmering away on the back burner that should really get more attention...if it were not for MIF's pull and the lure of puzzling. Real Member status won't help that situation either, so I'll let that go for now. But...thanks. smile
