@ACuriousMind halp
I need to recall things from algebra
I need the Euler function
I need to write $48$ as a sum of $5$ numbers
 
Is that the same as the Euler totient?
 
what is that?
maybe I'm getting things mixed up
isn't there an Euler partition function?
I suspect it's 2
 
Euler's totient function counts the positive integers up to a given integer n that are relatively prime to n
Quote from Wikipedia
 
$48=4\cdot 10+1\cdot 8$
@BernardMeurer ya I can...
@BernardMeurer that.
$48=3\cdot 10+2\cdot 9$
I don't think it works out any other way.
 
wtf are you trying to do?

@ACuriousMind Probability of a poker hand having total face value of at least 48
this intro probability class is taking more of my time than topology, analysis, and QM combined
I don't know who thought hiring a prof who barely speaks English and is deaf was a good idea
but that person should be fired
 
@0celo7 What "face value" do jack, queen, kind, ace have?

@MAFIA36790 me?
 
@ACuriousMind I'm assuming 10 for simplicity.
if it's not 10, whatever
I don't care enough
so let's assume 10
so there's only one partition of 49 and 50
well, I guess you argue like this
hmm, no
I think what I wrote are the only two
I won't prove that
 
@ACuriousMind Another tip: Joffrey Baratheon
 
@ACuriousMind what's a suit?
 
9:59 PM
@ACuriousMind Well, maybe he is too well known. Maybe Thrawn could be a better next avatar.
 
and what's the 10, Jack, Queen thing called?
 
@0celo7 I think that's what the four types of cards (clubs, duamond and whatever the other two are in English) are called
@0celo7 You mean consecutive cards? A straight
 
no
I want to say that there are 5 X that give a value of 10
solve for X
@ACuriousMind google confirms
@ACuriousMind Have you been to Wien?
 
Only at the train station when passing through
 
oh, never mind then

i love you wolfram alpha, solving my odes because i'm dumb and can't solve.
 
@ACuriousMind I'm going there in December and was going to hire you as a tour guide
For an obscene amount of money.

@dmckee, I think I detect the odor of a user:bobie sock.
 
Pointer?
 
@dmckee Private chat?

@0celo7 do you listen to S3RL?
 
11:44 PM
Bo
No
@ACuriousMind If you're around I'm studying for topology exam and have some questions
