Regarding 4. Do lawyer attacks count as shark attacks?

1 isn't considered a prime number so three can't ve constructed from just primes

I am disappointed in Lemmings' collective lack of Savvy regarding math trivia.

Next thing you'll be telling me you don't know how to prove there's an infinite number of prime twins.

It says even number though

4 then - if 1 isn't a prime, then 1+4 doesn't count.

EDIT - should have been 1+3, doh!

2+2

1+4=5 not 4 and 4 isn't prime either, so idk what you meant. 4 is the sum of two primes 2+2, which I thought was what you were asking at first.

1+4 is 5 though.

8 (about Goldbachs conjecture) is one that I don't quite get. Isn't the number 8 already proof that this isn't true (sum of 4+4)?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

8 is the sum of 5+3 both of which are primes. I think the Conjecture just states that there is a sum of two primes not every sum consists only of primes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Ah gotcha! I thought it meant exclusively prime numbers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

7+1

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1 is not a prime number. It would have to be 3+5

5: originally? None. They say there were no stars or planets. Also time and space came to be afterwards.

Edit: I just read the explainxkcd, I get it now. :)

number 10 is Ringo

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Debatable.

[–] [email protected] 102 points 1 year ago (3 children)

idk man, seems pretty straightforward to me

Lennon "was the soul of the Beatles, Harrison was the spirit." Martin said. "Paul was the heart, and Ringo was the drummer." Ringo: he was the drummer

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've heard from multiple sources (all dubious) that Ringo was the adhesive that held the band together during contentious times. Usually that role is appointed to the heart but in this case it was appointed to the Ringo. The drummer.

"Is Ringo the best drummer in the world?"

"Ringo isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles"- The Beatles
