I vote for a F2F in Bruxelles. At the chocolate shop! ::totally giddy::
We know a great chocolate shop in Philipsburg, St. Maarten.

Ann, that's a ferret.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
you show it quite clearly, IMNotMathyHO.
Yay! Then I managed to show that you can set up that product to be the product of coprime numbers even if p is a multiple of 3. So that's all good. But then... things get murky. I'm trying to work out part of Euler's proof that there's no integer solution to x^3 + y^3 = z^3, in case you were wondering. I know it's just elementary algebra and number theory, but it's totally beating me into the ground.
Math is hard.

If you're all going to be in London, will you come and visit me for lunch if I'm in Paris? My father's been promising to take me for about ten years now (since we saw Sabrina, I think).

Always Anti-fascist!
would love to go to London. Y'all be my alibi with the folks at the bank, hmm? Anne, glad somebody got that...it's a small crowd, you know. I still hate that the painted the squad...it's supposed to be dirty and beige. That's it. You're supposed to be able to imagine all the bored, pissed-off witnesses scratching curses for the po-lice in the walls with their keys and what-not. It could be possible I thought about it too much. Hec, it could be Rowlf took on his Waitsliness over time...

Everything is/can be difficult when you learn it for the first time (I've never learned number theory, for the record). Or as my mom likes to say "nobody was born with the knowledge".
Math is hard.
You seem to be beating it well enough, step by step. And I'm totally not saying that because I like you!

A Europe tour!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
ETA: Okay what LA-istas aren't up at this point?
Hey!
I was up entirely too late writing. I ignored the phone and internets and wrote and wrote and I AM SO STUCK.
And the apartment is disgusting and needs to be cleaned, and I have to clear out my trunk for Catalina luggage.
And I suck.

Be one with the primes, Emily.
I'm beginning to formulate a theory about Rowlf, Tom Waits and parallel evolution. Or, possibly, a really good test case for Intelligent Design.

Yay for writing! Is it OK to ask what about? Because if not, then ignore the question.

No, you missed the "t" in the second sentence. Because I can believe the first verb, but not the second.

This is true. The problem is, since it's a History of Math course, I'm learning something for the first time every single homework (that is to say, they're not building on each other). This is very frustrating. Also, I'm stuck. Again. Maybe another failed attempt to see Harry Potter will put things right.

Yeah, I'm pretty convinced Allyson is not of the suckage. Unless you were really using that non-metaphorically, because I'm sure you're capable of eating popsicles properly, and the like, but you're not a bad person.
(Is that right? Popsicles doesn't have a k, does it? Does that mean our magical Clex-era capitalization spree was all wrong?)
