A mathematical conundrum...
 

First of all let me say that Bearcat reinstated my thread starting privileges. I promise to behave.

This is an ongoing debate about series of numbers.

Solution 1:

X = 1+2+3+4+5+.....

Solve for X.

X = infinity

Solution 2:

X = 1+2+3+4+5+....

Solve for X.

X = -1/12.

WHAT?

Crazy isn't it?

Solution 2 is accepted by mathematicians and physicists by a large majority.

Just a bit of a brain puzzler for all you geeks.

Stewie the confused. :)

The solution to this conundrum: Bearcat gave you back your thread starting privileges 2 soon.

Ban should = Infinity

That solution is accepted by a majority of Chiefs fans and CP posters.

When I clicked on this thread- I did not know there would be a test. Bummer. I fail.

Just trying to expand CPers beyond the drivel.

Sorry to offend.

The answer is always 42

69

IP ban this prick

X=Antifreeze

**** you and your string theory.

But below is the solution:

About tree fiddy

At least this is a starting point for discussion.

Thanks for that.

This is an interesting debate.

Does adding integers ever resolve as fractions? They assume it's true.

If I remember correctly, you retired rather recently this year, didn't you? When my dad retired he seemed restless until he got full time into bee keeping. I'm about 10 years away from being able to retire, so I wonder what I'm going to do to fill my days as well.

FYP

You have a good memory. In fact, I got my first SS check on Wednesday.

Still doing engineering work part time.

Trying to inspire young people.

Things like 3X+1 conundrum.

Keeps my mind limber.

The vitriol from an interesting question amazes me.

No vitriol from me. I just read your post and remembered you talking about retiring. I don't know the answers to your numbers, but I had a long drive home from Minneapolis today and I had time to think about the things I want to do when I finally retire.
