Republic of Math blogged about James' question regarding n plus square root of n: Can it ever round to a perfect square? (It's answered at the blog post, so you might want to play with it before clicking through.)
When I went to Twitter this morning, James' latest question was:
60houses in a row. 3 roof colors cycle in 3. 4 door colors cycle in 4. 5trim colors cycle in 5. Every house unique roof,door,trim color set?
He had to really squeeze to get that one in the 140 characters, didn't he?
Thanks for feeding us some good math, James!

Sue, if you go to the twitter page, the bottom of the blue info column on the right contains a link to the rss feed. You can paste that into the subscribe function on Google Reader.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't work for me on this computer (an old mac). Maybe I can set it up from my other computer.

the "chinese remainder theorem" (wi'dia).
ReplyDeletei don't tweet either... i think it's for people with fancy phones or something. i've set it up but never use it. i don't like to think of my posts as going by in a moment. my blogposts put a link in my twitterfeed automatically so i pick up a couple readers sometimes. for that matter, i don't "google reader". i don't "get" feeds. (or "tabs" in these newfangled browsers). actually, i miss text-only web browsing if the truth were known. why do i have to keep reading these technical manuals?
my link is broken evidently. trying again.
