I thought I would share. I liked the concept

 

[Flatlander]

Perfect answer. I love symmetry.:rofl:

 

[OULobo]

Ahhh. . . gotta love nerd humor.

Here is one for you... If an even number is divisible by one, two, or any of a series of numbers divisible by two, and a prime number is only divisible by one and itself, are there more even numbers than prime numbers?

 

[Flatlander]

Assuming that you're referring to positive numbers, then yes, there must be more even numbers than prime numbers.

 

[Blindside]

There is no upper limit to numbers. So both populations, prime and even are essentially infinite. You can't be more infinite than another infinite, so no there are not more even numbers than prime numbers.

Throw negative numbers in too and you would still be wrong. Blindside got it. :asian:

Ahhh, but at any point you should choose to stop and measure, you would find more even. Unless you stop at 14 or less.

 

[Flatlander]

yeah, I'm a nerd.

Well then you talking about infinity occuring with more frequncy than infinity, I suppose; Anywho, the rules did not include stopping at any point and measuring frequency. :asian:

 

[Flatlander]

I'm still a nerd though. You might be too. I'm still formulating an opinion on that. This thread got you closer...

An odd number is any number that is divisable by at least 1 and itself.

'0' - Zero is divisable by 1 which is zero. It is not divisable by itself, as that would be undefined, or illegal operation or what have you.

An even number is any number divisable by 2.

'0' - Zero is divisable by 2.

Therefore I will make the conjecture that there are more even numbers than odd numbers.

Oddly enough :asian:

 

[Taimishu]

I dont have the faintest idea what you are on about.
I can count my money who needs to know more?
