Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. — Mahatma Gandhi

I think that's what you meant and it distracts from the fact that I know spit about mathematics. I didn't mean that all academics are charlatans but their number is higher than in most fields.

Will read the story again since I hadn't considered that it was faked. She's tall and attractive—no, I don't mean it that way—and tall, attractive people always have an advantage.

Did you mean MC Escher, the artist? No, I expect it was a teacher of yours.

My Escher is a Swiss professor of mathematics mostly sciencing about evolutionary equations in the time i had him. I didn't follow his work further since i switched universities after doing analysis one, two and three of his. And i went into combinatorics and algebra so i was not that into his flavor of math when i majored.

But at his best times he was the only named German-native scientist in the top 100 of the world.

Teaching-wise he was quite "difficult" because he mostly followed his own books and i still remember him doing serious mistakes when proving the Banach-Tarski-paradox e.g. . But his jokes were quite cool if you could wrap your head around them.

I can't keep up with the paradoxes but here is a fun math game you may know:

Choose any whole number from 1 up to as high as you want. Multiply your number by 9. Add up the digits of the product (x times 9). If the total of the added digits is a number with two or more digits, add them together until you have a one-digit number. From that number, subtract 4. Now convert the number to a letter. For example, 1=A, 2=B, etc. So now you have a letter. Think of an animal, a mammal, with an English name that begins with that letter. Now go to the next letter of the alphabet. For example, if your animal was bear then the next letter would be C. Using that letter, think of a country whose English name begins with that letter. When you have thought of an animal and a country, scroll down about ten lines and I will try to guess your answers.

...... Please don't look or scroll down.

Was your animal elephant and your country Denmark?

I had a proof for games like these when i was an undergrad. They mostly all work the same way and everything you need is some finite field mathematics. :)

Never gets old. 9 is a special number when you operate with a 10 as base for your number system because it is in the [-1] equivalence class of these.

I thought you would know about that but some people are mind-blpwn.

I studied this kinda of magic / science. Above that i have a German and a Danish passport. What honestly asked answer did you expect ?

That i as a deep purple one give up on a light purple one ? Whe almost got the full array here:

Carswell is an architect, you are a logician, i am driven halfway between logician / debater tending in this moment more to my debater side even though i am ambidextrous. Because i am a snake. The only missing purple card needed here is a real commander. We need a "real" George Washington to keep this argument shortmost.

Do you actually have any idea how mighty a full purple set is ?

A purple set?! Is this related to news of people wearing purple ties, shirts, etc. Is it a Masonic thing? I'll be back in about an hour.

A full purple character set usually catapults humanity into its next chapter.

What we need is a https://www.16personalities.com/entj-personality . People being able to off the one here and there and there.

Sadly my gf is an https://www.16personalities.com/infj-personality , so she as a diplomat rather believes into everyone no matter how psychotic has a right to live.

In here eyes everything has to be fair. That is why there is this simple closure: Purple, green, blue and yellow. I had a really nasty fight with her brother.

But she is my problem, you see?

I thought I knew what you meant by a full set [but was wrong]. It means all sixteen types working together on a project or toward a shared goal. Right? I read Logician very carefully a few months ago when you analyzed me and must admit the description was amazingly close. I am definitely introverted but not to an extreme. And intuitive seems to fit. I was amazed really. Do you use a computer to analyze our comments or rely on your own intuition and experience? Is Magnora7 a Commander? He comes across to me as that type and I mean that in no way negatively. The problem is he must be really busy now that Saidit has jumped about two quantum levels in a few months. So he probably has no time for this. And isn't being busy and not wanting to waste time one of the main traits of a Commander? Yes, it is because I just read it.

Problems with GFs? I can't help you there. I have always liked them but have never understood them very well. I tend to be attracted to things I do not understand.

I meant a full purple set of four.

I don't have a problem with my gf in this regard. I even need her more than she needs me (but don't tell her that :) ). Everyone needs somebody to really floor the brakes once in a while don't you think ?

We have this passive-agressive playful thing when we disagree for a while going on. Either she adjusts or i budge after some time. :-P

But there are certain things i just can't ask from her. And i do all my analysing by myself by reading between the lines. Otherwise i'd be very lonely. :-D
