What we thinking? Gauss? Euler? Newton? Lets have a debate.  Mention the field of math and why the person is the best at the field. Idea from @Maestro_Q

Two patterns for pi in the Torah found today on pi day. Aleph beit gimmel aleph beit gimmel (triplets) #112 Mine. B only. Triplets are another pattern through verse 1. Aleph beit gimmel aleph beit gimmel (triplets) #112 Mine. B only. In the first verse, we take 3 letters at a time, subtract the first two and the last two, and then subtract the two results. We get 1,1,1,4,9,1,11,16,15 and then the last letter is 27. Notice all the 1s and squares of numbers. Also, 11 is a 1 put next to a 1. For the 15 and 27, 27 is 33 and if we switch the 5 and 2, 125 is 53 (25 is 52). For 15-27, 2,5,7,15,17,127,215,217 and 257 are also all one away from numbers that are exponents of small numbers. 512 is an exponent and like above comes from rearranging two digits of 15-27. 15-27 seems to give the maximum amount of these numbers of any four-digit combination. Also we did 1257. Looping the digits around from 7 back 1, the differences are 1,3,2 and 4. These are consecutive integers. They also make pi, so if we have 5217 we get pi or 3.142. 5217 = 3*37*47. 37 is a Star of David number very common in my patterns. 3*47 = 141, giving us 3.141 so we have pi=3.142 and pi=3.141. It is in fact 3.1416.

My IQ is 162 and I am quite curious about what other players in the chess community have scored. Thank you for any responses given.

Hey guys! There's this new video about what 0 divided by 0 actually equals, and it debunks a big misconception. It's actually a great explanation of 0/0, and I can't believe I didn't realize that almost every other explanation I found online was actually wrong. You guys should definitely check it out, and post what you guys think about it here on the notes. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK_R4eOLPq0&t=5s

Greetings everyone. Been having conversations with a flat earther. Please put your collective minds together and tell me where this individual is wrong because I'm honestly stumped. They forgot to include light refraction in the calculation. Just wondering how much of a difference that would make. Here is the data: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gXYi85NM9HxSnZkn4lbYU8rpZbPSXSvacJbsw1DJh48/edit#slide=id.p And here is the forumla: http://walter.bislins.ch/bloge/index.asp?page=Advanced+Earth+Curvature+Calculator

Hello. Today I'd like to share a video on king's graphs, a type of graph that represents the legal moves of a king on a chessboard. It is a really interesting application of a strong product of graphs. Please share if you like it. Have a fantastic day! https://youtu.be/H22Bt1n57Gc
Probability Start with a standard deck containing 52 playing cards. Remove the 2 of clubs and discard it, leaving the deck with 51 cards. The questions in this quiz refer to the 51 card deck without the 2 of clubs. Define a face card to be a king, queen or jack. An ace is not a face card. Problem 1) Randomly draw 1 card from the 51 card deck. If the card drawn is a face card, what is the probability that the card is a club? Problem 2) Randomly draw 1 card from the 51 card deck. If the card drawn is a club, what is the probability that the card is a face card? Problem 3) Randomly draw 2 cards from the 51 card deck. If both cards are face cards, what is the probability that both cards are the same suit? Problem 4) Randomly draw 2 cards from the 51 card deck. If both cards are the same suit, what is the probability that both cards are face cards? Problem 5) A probability was computed for problems 1 to 4. Which of these four answers would remain the same if the original 52 card deck was used instead of the 51 card deck?
Let's say 1 and 2 are a1 and a2 in a series. The next number in the series is the sum of the previous 2. For instance a3 =3 and a4=5. Note that a1=1,a2=2,a4=5,a8=34 and a15=987. We have used each digit from 1 to 9 once except 6, plus the numbers are in order backwards and almost in order forwards. The golden ratio is (1 +/- sqrt(5))/2, and the two numbers, one 1 unit more than the other, have the first shared digit of 6. Why 15? a1 is a point, a2 is a line segment, a4 is a square, a8 is a cube, and a15=1+2+4+8, suggesting time.
