Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too
For posting: - invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or for particular games: Janus; Capablanca Random; or Embassy) - information about upcoming tournaments - disussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position ... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted while that particular game is in progress) - links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)
<>Please PM me if you care to discuss math more. I have been working on a proof of the >Collatz conjecture lately. ;-)
Collatz conjecture??? Damn! One of my 4-5 favourite problems. This is amazing. It is so simple but yet invincible to any try for a solution.
"Mathematics are not ready for problems like this" A great mathematician has said. And he is even now right!
How your proof is going..? Unfortunately i think you are trying to find a snake at New Zealand. Just impossible......
Do you have any good ideas? I wanted to try once something but the collision with the wall was inevitable. I'm 20 years old and i've just started studying mathematics/physics seriously, so maybe my knowledge is not yet capable of understanding the things are needed to even close the solution.
Anyway hope to hear from you soon, about this 3N+1 problem.
