Invertebrates and Potables (I & P) 51

uhm

Yes. "Uhm" says it all.

Its a bit like "Ohm", the everpresent unit of electrical resistance. But I fail to notice any direct connection to the number 51, I'm afraid.

It must be the invertebrate angle then.
And/or could it, perchance, be potable in nature?
I find this all extremely mysterious.

Uhm, ohm, you may be onto something there.

No no no, honorable @morphyms1817 .

The posts remain connected to the shining origin of the thread: namely, the ever-so-lovely number 51.

"Uhm" was said in reference to the discussion of Venn Diagrams, which, in turn, related (as I demonstrated) to the number 51.

Divide 51 by 4,and check the remainder.

51/4 = 12 R 3. The remainder is not 1.

AH HA!

51 therefore cannot be the sum of two squares.

Prove me wrong, I double-dog-dare ya, chess mavens.

You cannot. Because math is .... a science.

Now we know, furthermore, that 51 cannot be the length of the hypotenuse (NOT hippopotamus!) of a right triangle with sides of only integral length!

And yet some foos try to claim that number theory is a dainty, useless endeavor. It is not!

Number theory is the Center Game of mathematics! Much more wonderful than realized by the common playuh.

i don't know what the fudge is going on in this thread

Furthermore, now that the word "hippopotamus" has appeared in the thread, I am quite free to sing the praises of the lovely Hippo.

One does not choose to play the Hippo. The Hippo chooses one to play it.

Its pacific symmetry calls out to few. Most look at the Hippopotamus Opening and snicker. Rudely! They sometimes even elbow each other and smirk out "hey, look at THIS silly opening!"

But soon their shallow smirks begin to fade, as they dimly begin to sense -- from the base of their reptilian brain -- that the Hippo is far mightier -- far better -- than it at first appears.

Indeed, it is so good that it should have orange-golden hair. And yet it doesn't. Because it's a chess opening, and chess openings do not have hair follicles -- or even fur.

More's the pity.

Now, in light of #17, what can further be said about fudge? I leave that to a lover of confection.

I am liking adventures in math with you noflaps, the high maths is above my understanding, so I can learn from your lessons. I had noticed before that @calbernandhowbe will solve math problems with you. A sharp one that fellow.

Oh, you're plenty sharp yourself, @morphyms1817 . Sharpness comes in many varieties -- for many areas of emphasis.

As for me, I became skilled at numbers from the time I began counting sheep in order to slumber. And since I love to sleep, it blossomed into a hobby.

There are quite a few math mavens skulking around the forum, actually. As Kwai Chang Caine once said (more or less): I know them ... by the way .... they move.

Having written that, it makes me realize for the first time that William Shatner could also have made an excellent Kwai Chang Caine! After all .. Captain Kirk ... often spoke with ... the same ... vocal rhythm.

Kung Fu. Why can't they make such excellent television nowadays? How I miss it.

I was surprised when I found out that walking across rice paper without disturbing it, and snatching pebbles from hands, did not lead to a higher starting salary, no matter how much I practiced at it.
