...2 are arranged such that m is in the ceiling(m/n) row and the (m-1)(mod n)+1 column. Take the n=4 grid of positive integers: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Try to find a permutatio...
I call a set P of positive integers primeary if the sum of an odd number of elements of P is always prime. It's clear what the sum of an odd number k > 1 of integers means; for k = 1, the sum of an
... is congruent to 1 mod 3. Therefore 10 to the power N is congruent to 1 to the power N, which is 1, for any positive integer N. Therefore a googol = 10^100 is congruent to 1 mod 3. A googolplex has ...
Start with an n-by-n grid. Place n^2 positive integers into the grid such that: Each integer is greater than the integer placed previously. Each integer is left of, right of, below, or above the integ

...after several false solutions, I have finally given up. What is the number of permutations of the first m positive integers where GCD(a(k-1), a(k)) = 1 for all k, 2 ...
Why is a negative number, multiplied or divided by another negative number, result in a positive solution? There is really no real world application to this theory. Look at the following 'laws of ma
...rfect square for m = 1 and m = 3 (at which it takes the values 3^2 and 17^2, respectively). Are there other positive integer values of m which make F(m) a perfect square? If not, can you prove your as...
This seems like something that MUST have been thought about before. For a positive integer, n, take all of the distinct integers 1 to n. Place them along an integer number-line such that: (Or you ca
Unless there is a pure-math proof of a solution/non-solution, this is a kind of math-based maze. For a positive integer n, take an n-by-n grid. Label the rows with the first n primes, and do the sam

Let q and r be NONNEGATIVE integers. Let m be a positive integer. Let:
Prove product of any N consecutive positive integers is divisible by N! ( N factorial).

Let a(0,m) = 1 (for every positive integer m). For n = nonnegative integers, m = positive integers, let a(n+1,m) = m * sum a(n,k) binomial(m+n,k+n) (-1)^(k+1) /k. In ascii-art mode: a(n+1,m)
prove or disprove: does there exist a positive integer N such that there exist integers r, s, t where N = r^2 + 1 = s^3 + 1 = t^5 +1. If so find the smallest such N and prove it is minimal.
4 can be expressed by these 8 sums of positive integers: 4, 1+3, 2+2, 3+1, 1+1+2, 1+2+1, 2+1+1, 1+1+1+1. How would you prove that a positive integer N can be expressed by 2^(N-1) sums of positive inte
