  • kdsr74, welcome!  Thanks for introducing yourself to the group!  If you haven't already checked out our Ben Heck group it might be a fun place for you and your kids to check out image  It's a webisode show where the expert, Ben Heck creates fun and interesting projects sometimes borrowing from people's recommendations on the Community.  Hope you enjoy!

    I had to laugh.  I'm sure you are in fact quite a normal person,

    However in this forum it is normal for members to say how non-normal they are. 

    In fact, I don't think I've ever seen anyone else say they are normal. 

    So I think that makes you non-normal, at least as far as this forum is concerned.

     

    There is a similar paradox about uninteresting integers.   Some integers are

    interesting because they are a perfect square, like 25=5x5.  Some are interesting

    because they are a power of 2, like 256=2^8.  Mersenne primes are especially

    interesting integers, and lots of effort is spent finding them.  There are many reasons

    why an integer might be interesting.  In fact, you can prove that all integers are

    interesting, as follows. 

     

    Suppose for the sake of argument that there are some uninteresting integers. 

    If so, there must be a smallest uninteresting integer.  But the property of being

    the smallest uninteresting integer would make that number interesting.  So our

    original supposition must be false, and therefore there are no uninteresting integers.
