hiccough, slough

hard words, what do they mean & how do you pronounce them?

non-elma success: losing my wallet in a taxicab and thrashing my phone because of that.

a recent success: I'm studying hard! Never seen before! Come and check it out! Homework!

I slept almost 11 hours. Yesterday I slept like almost 10 hours, the day before 9. Last week same days I slept like 4, 5 and 6 hours. Strange days.

I ranked first in Quebec in a math contest this year, and probably second or such in another one. I got a grade of 58/60 when people usually get around 5-20. On the sheet with the questions it was written that it was perfectly normal if we weren't able to answer all six questions, and not to be discouraged if we could only answer 2 or 3 questions, that a really good student could answer around four, and blah blah blah... I pwned everything

Link: http://newton.mat.ulaval.ca/amq/ (in French), my name is Gabriel Girard, you'll see me on the front page, they say congratulations 'cause I won the contest

Edit: By the way, it's a contest for last year of high school (in Quebec, you're 16-17 y. old at that moment). I skipped one year so I was 16 years and 5 days old when I did it, which is of course 6-18 months younger than other contestants. To top it all, I participated last year (it was on my 15th birthday) and got 16th, even if I was only on my fourth year of high school. Quite humiliating to be completely demolished by a 15 year old guy when you're already 17 since a few months!

grats, what kind of questions?

Bismuth · Post by **Bismuth** » 4 Apr 2009, 00:16

Not so easy ones... For example, prove that for all integer n > 1, n^4 + 4 is not a prime number. That one was one of the middle ones. There were easier ones, and harder ones.

welle · Post by **welle** » 4 Apr 2009, 00:35

Gratz, very impressive achievement!

Btw:

n = 2mã€€(mâ‰¥1):
ã€€nâ´+4
= (2m)â´+4
= 16mâ´+4
= 4*(4mâ´+1)
n = 2m+1ã€€(mâ‰¥1):
ã€€nâ´+4
= (2m+1)â´+4
= 16mâ´+32mÂ³+24mÂ²+8m+5
= (4mÂ²+1)*(4mÂ²+8m+5)

Bismuth · Post by **Bismuth** » 4 Apr 2009, 03:24

Nice

I had something like (nÂ² + 2n + 2)(nÂ² - 2n + 2) = n^4 + 4 (this may be false, I won't verify, I just go by memory) so if n = 1 then nÂ² - 2n + 2 = 1 and the other = 5 so it's 1 x 5 = 5, that's a prime number, but for all others, it's like 2 x 10, 5 x 17, 10 x 26...

By the way, I just edited the other post with a little bit of bragging

welle · Post by **welle** » 4 Apr 2009, 10:08

Oh yes lol, didn't think about the "easy" solution =)

Bismuth · Post by **Bismuth** » 4 Apr 2009, 22:59

Great! I couldn't possibly do it 'cause right now it's been 3-4 days without sun and 30-50 mm of rain each day

mini achievement:

100% TTFAF Herman's Solo 2 (Expert)

The end was such a pain in the ass, always missed note #81.

Bismuth · Post by **Bismuth** » 7 Aug 2009, 18:03

note #81, what the hell

For me, I stopped playing GH a year ago but I was struggling to finish TTFAF, I failed two times after the solos, right right after the red snake but juuuuust before it starts again with the "guitar chorus"
