tritto! I thought it was a problem with my browser, and therefore a problem on my end.

per wiki; "Despite having almost no formal training in pure mathematics..." Have you watched the movie? It's available for free at Pluto: The Man Who Knew Infinity I'm guessing it's because Ramanujan and I could both do maths in our head that was incomprehensible to others. In 7th grade I was...

I wouldn't call finishing the race in hard mode a failure. Your post also prompted me to research what I consider to be the ideal hard mode seed word: CHUMP After a bit of googling, I found this NYT article where they appear to have a 180° different strategy. They claim TROPE is the best hard...

I'm wondering how you would treat a modern day Ramanujan. Would you shout at them; "Go back to school, and learn PROPER maths!" ? Ok. He was one in 2 billion. But still, I can relate to how he was treated.

TIL that you cannot laugh at your own posts here at PF.

Apologies for laughing, but they still haven't added a 'confused as hell' emoji. I said DO NOT use words in hard mode.... Unless of course, it's your final answer. ps. Thank you for kick starting my brain. I've decided that seed words containing: n u y c p d m h g b k f w are the best hard...
