You mean Wunderbar!
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: Bafflers of the Bulge, the Beginning.
Hi bobbym,
Partition problems were hard even for Hardy-Ramanujan,
Did you know there is no analytical answer for anything more then a spread of 2?
"spread of 2" means?

Re: Bafflers of the Bulge, the Beginning.
I could not find a known solution for k>2. There is one for J(n,k) when k = 2

Re: Bafflers of the Bulge, the Beginning.
Me neither. "concrete mathematics" has one for k=2.
It's bit difficult to find a mathematical solution.
See you later..
