  • Solution


    What I like about this solution is that it doubles as a proof that there are infinitely many prime numbers. It’s not circular either – it uses the number theoretic fact that every integer has a prime factorization, but nothing deeper. If only finitely many primes were required for that, … well then of course every finite product converges.





  • At least 2 people I went to college with have bios. One became documentary filmmaker. I thought she was pleasant enough as a dormmate, but I don’t think the administration liked her much. She’s a bit nutty, but seems to have found her niche. The other is missing and presumed dead. He had a claim to notability as an academic before disappearing. He’s not someone who’d do well as a missing person. Wikipedia won’t say it without a reliable source identifying the corpse, but he’s dead and has been since the day wandered off.

    I thought a third guy had a good chance at an article, but it’s just a redirect to the rodent he named himself after.
