@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

Bernard Meurer

Is that the same as the Euler totient?

0celo7

what is that?

maybe I'm getting things mixed up

isn't there an Euler partition function?

I suspect it's 2

Bernard Meurer

Euler's totient function counts the positive integers up to a given integer n that are relatively prime to n

Quote from Wikipedia

0celo7

$48=4\cdot 10+1\cdot 8$

@BernardMeurer ya I can...

@BernardMeurer that.

$48=3\cdot 10+2\cdot 9$

I don't think it works out any other way.

ACuriousMind

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

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 What "face value" do jack, queen, kind, ace have?

user218912

@MAFIA36790 me?

0celo7

@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?

@ACuriousMind Well, maybe he is too well known. Maybe Thrawn could be a better next avatar.

0celo7

and what's the 10, Jack, Queen thing called?

ACuriousMind

@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

0celo7

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?

ACuriousMind

Only at the train station when passing through

0celo7

oh, never mind then

@0celo7 that sounds amazing

@ACuriousMind I'm going there in December and was going to hire you as a tour guide

For an obscene amount of money.

@ACuriousMind If you're around I'm studying for topology exam and have some questions
