@betseg How do you find `n` when `
((10^n-1)/9)%a==0` and there are so many values for `n`?

Sp3000

Minimal n, I believe

Kritixi Lithos

6:07 PM

Oh, so (10^n-1)/9 = a if n is minimal?

Shebang

@KritixiLithos You could always try continually multiplying the big number until you get something with all ones, I assume that would probably take just as long though (I'm not sure of the efficiency of multiplication over exponentiation computationally)

Sp3000

Not equals a, is divisible by

Kritixi Lithos

So, n is the big number that is all ones

Shebang

a is the big number

n is the number of ones in what will eventually be the bigger number

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

Herlo, this is the last day of all life as we know it.

Sp3000

6:09 PM

Bn is the big number that's all ones, n is the number of digits of Bn

Kritixi Lithos

But isn't Bn actually B^n ?

betseg

No

Bn = (10^n-1)/9

Bn % a == 0

Sp3000

(I think you're meant to think of n in Bn as a subscript)

betseg

Shebang

Even if/when you do find this magical n, you still have to figure out how to efficiently factor 2^n - 1

Sp3000

Yeah... that's the actual hard part :/

Kritixi Lithos

But Bn is a decimal

Shebang

6:14 PM

Can you factor in linear or close to linear time?

arda

@Shebang wait, is it 10^n or 2^n?

Sp3000

Bn is an integer because 10^n - 1 is always divisible by 9 for n > 0

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

Hi NSA, hi turkish gov't.

Shebang

@arda Bn = (10^n - 1) / 9, b = 2^n - 1

As far as I remember

Kritixi Lithos

Is it 10^(n-1) or (10^n) -1

Shebang

6:15 PM

The second

i.e. Giving you a bunch of 9s, so division by 9 gives you a bunch of ones

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

TNB is def. a threat to national security.

Sp3000

And I'm pretty sure you can't factor near linear time, no matter if you're talking about bits of actual values

... yet anyway

Shebang

How is that 'general' prime factorization algorithm characterized then?

The one where you divide by 2 until you can't, then 3 until you can't, etc. until you are left with a value of 1 and a list of the things you divided by

Hello people. Can anyone think of a better name for this matrix?

Shebang

I mean, even if it is it's still a number with too many digits to do it in a reasonable time anyways

That would be sqrt(n) by actual value, but exponential by bits? I think

Kritixi Lithos

@NewMainPosts The irony, now with the US presidential elections xD

betseg

6:20 PM

@NewMainPosts matches with the date

Sp3000

@Zgarb I think the explanation could do with the word "antidiagonal" somewhere, to characterise visually then x+y condition. As for names... "density" sounds good, but I'm not sure what to prefix it with

Zgarb

@Sp3000 The x+y condition is not really needed, only that other entries of M[x,y] than (x,y) have been determined. Maybe I'll change that and try to make it clearer too.

Shebang

Zgarb, I was interested in this challenge so I whipped something up to try and follow the logic. How did you visualize your 800x800 image if I might ask?

Zgarb

@Sp3000 Edited.

@Shebang Thanks!

Shebang

By 'any reasonable format' would printing a 'raw' list of lists be sufficient or would you like something closer to the 20x20 example you gave?

Zgarb

List of lists is fine.

Sp3000

@Zgarb The "On the other hand" sentence could be reworded to say if it's a 0 then it'll be 2/12, otherwise if it's a 1 then it'll be 3/12, but otherwise the first paragraph is certainly clearer now

You need to find some k such that k*a = (10^n - 1)/9 for some n.

So k*(the big number I found) = (10^n - 1)

Essentially yes.

discussion

Kritixi Lithos

Now to find n...

Shebang

You really want to find k ;)

Kritixi Lithos

But there are 2 variables in a single statement

Shebang

If you have it so that k*bignum is a number only containing 9 then you have n :)

Because 10^n - 1 will only have 9s in it, you can calculate n from k.

I may be wrong but I believe that k must also be of the form k = 10s + 3 for some s > 0

Kritixi Lithos

So, brute force to find k

Shebang

7:03 PM

Not ideally but yes :P

Kritixi Lithos

n = log(k*bignumber + 1)

Shebang

Yep!

So solve for k ;)

You may want to consult one of the more knowledgeable mathematicians in here when they are around rather than me ;)

Kritixi Lithos

I'll ask my math teacher tomorrow

G'night, then!

k * [big number] + 1 = 10^n, correct?

@GabrielBenamy If that's the case that would be pretty cool! Any way of proving that

?

@NathanMerrill I messaged it to Mr. Starman a while ago :)

we must seriously have the same recommended videos. It only has 40K views

Shebang

The only progress I have made is finding out that

14681639597968049123 * bignum = 12868450636223620404423462872576667316344390130807974747954384356861541395066622‌9864371486910549999999999999999999

, so this k is going to be massive

Nathan Merrill

maybe youtube's neural net has a "PPCG likes these", and has hooked our users together

@Shebang consider the case when [num] = 7: then k * 7 + 1 = 10^n

flawr

@NathanMerrill Did you already watch this guy's other videos? He's a genious in communication/visualization!

@NathanMerrill what are you doing with your life then? :D

Nathan Merrill

7:14 PM

oh, I posted a comment on that video, but perhaps you know the answer: you know how they drew a shape using the height of the two points?

the problem is that the midpoint isn't unique two any two points

a midpoint can correspond with lots of pairs of points

so the height at a given midpoint doesn't really make sense

Gabriel Benamy

bounded by the product of (one less than each of [big num]'s prime factors other than 2 and 5)

Shebang

@Sp3000 Interesting.. I have made a bit more progress!

flawr

@NathanMerrill It is not just one surface!

Shebang

k is definitely larger than 3944411088923515356522441677405450622014132389363853537119303898313906947664681‌639597968049123

Gabriel Benamy

sorry, my mistake

the number of digits is bounded by that

flawr

7:19 PM

@NathanMerrill Also: There consider some "midpoint", then try to imagine how many other pairs of points have the exact same midpoint.

Shebang

I think I am going to find it in a second

flawr

There are not "too many"

Nathan Merrill

that's not true. If you have a oval, there are infinite points at the center

all with unique heights

Gabriel Benamy

strictly speaking

flawr

Right, but for all other points you only have finitely many=)

Gabriel Benamy

7:21 PM

k = 10^[big number] - 1

is a valid solution

Nathan Merrill

maybe. If you have a rounded square, then you have infinitely many points with infinitely many heights

flawr

But just keep in mind that the "surface" shown over the curve is not just one surface.

Nathan Merrill

(each of the sides)

Gabriel Benamy

sorry, [big number - 1]

Shebang

k is getting so long I can't post it here ;P

Nathan Merrill

7:22 PM

although, I'm not sure if "rounded square" is considered continuous

flawr

@NathanMerrill it is, you can even consider a regular square!

Nathan Merrill

ah ok :P

flawr

You just can't make any "jumps"

Just remember that this representation is not a single surface.

Gabriel Benamy

wolfram alpha breaks trying to compute anything about it

Nathan Merrill

@flawr if its not a single surface, then the process of "map the torus onto the surface" doesn't make sense

Shebang

7:24 PM

It's almost working for me

I can get thousands of digits of 9s for my k

but not the first 94 :/

Sp3000

... if you're still brute forcing, you should probably stop :P

Shebang

I'm not ;P

(k * 87649955921848295829762588330387041083215183061656928017582435114713389365435708‌26847257781813) mod 10^4000 = 10^4000 - 1

flawr

@NathanMerrill Yes it does=) Consider a parametrization of the curve i.e. a continuous bijection f : [0,1]-> curve

Gabriel Benamy

Calculating n is easy

Shebang

Any reason this won't be able to get the first 94 digits to be 9, but everything after it works?

Gabriel Benamy

7:25 PM

n = 87649955921848295829762588330387041083215183061656928017582435114713389365435708‌‌26847257781812

calculating k takes forever because 10^n is ludicrously big

flawr

then can identify a pair of points on the curve with a point on [0,1) x [0,1), and on that square you really have a single surface.

Sp3000

Hmm I have a different n there

betseg

So, ((10^876...812-1)/9)%a=0? Is it the question I asked?

Gabriel Benamy

k is the repeating portion of the following integer:

((10^87649955921848295829762588330387041083215183061656928017582435114713389365435708‌26847257781812) - 1)/87649955921848295829762588330387041083215183061656928017582435114713389365435708‌26847257781813

Nathan Merrill

@flawr I'm not sure I follow. My understanding though, is if there are two surfaces, then there must be some break between the two surfaces, which means that you'd have to cut up a torus to map onto it

Gabriel Benamy

7:29 PM

We know that every number coprime to 2 and 5 has some product in base 10 that is comprised solely of 9s

Sp3000

Yeah Gab I think your n is a little off, because 10^(your n) - 1 is not divisible by a

flawr

@NathanMerrill I'd go the other way around: Consider a point on the torus. Are you convinced that each point on the torus can bijectively and continuously be mapped to a (ordered) pair of points on the curve?

Sp3000

But I did have a similar approach to what you've been saying (which is what I linked Shebang a couple of posts back)

Nathan Merrill

yes

(or unordered)

I followed everything after his "create a surface"

Gabriel Benamy

you calculated (10^8764995592184829582976258833038704108321518306165692801758243511471338936543‌5708‌26847257781812) - 1?

Nathan Merrill

7:30 PM

I get how he made the torus and how it maps to an unordered pair

Sp3000

That mod a, yes (but not that number itself of course)

flawr

@NathanMerrill so for each point on the torus we get a midpoint and a height

basically a single surface "above" the torus.

Gabriel Benamy

what is (10^8764995592184829582976258833038704108321518306165692801758243511471338936543‌‌5708‌26847257781812) - 1 (mod 87649955921848295829762588330387041083215183061656928017582435114713389365435708‌‌26847257781813)?

Nathan Merrill

@flawr true, even though a midpoint isn't unique

that makes sense

flawr

@NathanMerrill right, so if you fix one of the endpoints and let the other point stay variable, you geta whole surface back on the curve representation

Nathan Merrill

7:34 PM

I think I get it now. it doesn't matter that midpoints aren't unique. If its a range of values, it'll simply make a "wall", and if its multiple values, then the curve is bending over itself

so there aren't multiple curves

flawr

exactly!

Nathan Merrill

that midpoint-graph is one single curve

Sp3000

@GabrielBenamy 56877995531774003257708274747388548027343288737655866815538680056797703489900416‌48338189910301 - you can't just assume the exponent is one less, you actually need to take the totient function

(since the modulus isn't prime)

Gabriel Benamy

god it's been so long since I've done this

but I think you're right

Sp3000

Also, when you get it the totient isn't n, it's a multiple of n

Gabriel Benamy

7:39 PM

no, I know

Sp3000

But anyhow I should really sleep now :P (if you get it, tell me if your first 10 digits are 7250379854 for double checking)

Gabriel Benamy

but when you divide (10 ^ totient) - 1 by [bignum], you get a repeating integer

the repeating portion is k, the number of digits is n

My challenge makes you write three polyglots, golf two of them, and they have to generate each other.

Geobits

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC I don't know what you're trying to say, so I'll just ignore it, except for this message notifying you of that.

Goat animal is best animal

The way to check this should be through using Google search in Incognito so Google can't tailor the results

Yodle

@Shebang Yeah I am in incognito :P

@Geobits Downvote method accidentally does upvoting, vice versa for upvoting.

Just got my first unexplained downvote on a C answer. That's a first...

Yodle

@Dennis I guess you could say you didn't see that coming

arda

@Yodle he didn't C it apparently.

I C.

Not right now, no.

@feersum ............... ಠ_ಠ

TimmyD

@feersum What about Michigan?

Geobits

8:40 PM

UP isn't really Michigan though :P

Yodle

tfw you have an answer to a challenge that gets marked as duplicate, and you go and check out the duplicate challenge and the answer there in the same language is shorter

Downgoat

@TimmyD suggestion: write in goat:

TimmyD

@Geobits I've no idea. Never been there. One of the only "Central" states I've not been to.

I got out golfed in my own language

TimmyD

@DrMcMoylex That's when you know you've created a good language.

Geobits

@Downgoat The system is rigged! I tried to downvote the goat, but I couldn't find the button that lets me do that.

Adnan

@DrMcMoylex hey nice!

Downgoat

@Geobits ;_________;

WE GOATS TO MAKE AMERICA GOAT AGAIN ;_;

DrMcMoylex

Of course, I took the lead back. :P

Adnan

8:47 PM

Geobits

I don't want America to be goat again....

TimmyD

The American Government is garbage! Vote Goat to clean it up!

but duk > gaot

8:48 PM

TIL my language support right to left strings even though I never thought about it

@Geobits I read that book when I was little.

Downgoat

@Adnan -1 for endorsing donald duck :P

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

@Downgoat how to upload images to gists? You've done it before...

Adnan

@Downgoat snek > gaot > duck

Downgoat

Hilary is snek?

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC git add path/to/image && git commit -m $RANDOM

Adnan

8:51 PM

No, just a regular snake

Dennis

@Geobits Better choice than the actual candidates imho.

DrMcMoylex

@Adnan Woah. WTF? How did you... 59?!?

Downgoat

@Adnan -1 for endorsing significant white space :P

DrMcMoylex

I think you've got me

Adnan

out of curiosity, which candidate is better?

@DrMcMoylex It took me several hours though :p

@Downgoat spaces > brackets

@Downgoat I put it on a private GH pages repo.

@Adnan clinton

DrMcMoylex

I don't think I can take any more off

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

not including independents

Gabriel Benamy

fun fact: among the major political parties, no presidential nominee whose first name contains the letter 'K' has ever lost

Downgoat

@Adnan clinton imo, though this is most subjective question possible :P

Fatalize

Woohoo!

Downgoat

8:55 PM

we should move away from policic discussion

Adnan

@Downgoat I have heard that both are pretty bad

but I'm no expert

arda

@Fatalize congrats

Dennis

@Downgoat I don't disagree, but not even main managed to do that. I doubt chat will...

Not sure if I'm getting to be a better golfer, or if xnor is slipping ... In the past, my PowerShell answers used to always be a handful of bytes behind his Python answers, but the past couple of challenges we've both answered (Revu'a, Pillow, Brick Wall, Hollow Square), I've actually beaten him by a couple bytes ...

I know, I know, shouldn't compare against other users (like the "outgolf Dennis" meme) ... but I couldn't help noticing.

Dennis

8:59 PM

Heavily depends on the task. For example, Hello, World! is 5 bytes shorter in PS if memory serves.
