dtgreene: Here's another math joke, borrowed from some cartoon I saw years ago (but paraphrased):
Theorem: Given an integer r > 1, there exist primes p and q such that p + q = 2r
Proof:
Take an integer r. Then 2r is even, so we note that p and q are odd (unless r = 2).
To find the values of p and q, we do the following:
***THEN A MIRACLE OCCURS***
And hence we have found p and q such that p + q = 2r.
Q. E. D.
(Yes, we just proved the Goldbach Conjecture, a famous unsolved problem. Now if we could only figure out that miracle...)
Since my country (Norway) has taken possession of the r, there is No way this problem will be solved.
