The 57 thread.
 
You can't post here unless you are 57 years old. No more, no less. Just sayin' :notamused:

Robin Williams could post here. Dave Winfield could post here. Cheryl Ladd could post here. Unfortunately, I cannot.

I can't post here either.:notamused:

Well, except for that last post wherein I promised to follow the rules.

I must apologize for the last post, which was a clear violation of my previous commitment.

Fifty-seven is the sixteenth discrete bi-prime and the sixth in the (3.q) family. With 58 it forms the fourth discrete bi-prime pair. 57 has an aliquot sum of 23 and is the first composite member of the 23-aliquot tree. Although 57 is not prime, it is jokingly known as the "Grothendieck prime" after a story in which Grothendieck advances it as an example of a particular prime number.
As a semiprime, 57 is a Blum integer since its two prime factors are both Gaussian primes.
57 is a 20-gonal number. It is a Leyland number since 25 + 52 = 57.
57 is a repdigit in base 7 .

They are all 56 :rolleyes:

I promise only to post here in the form of comments in preparation for my 57th birthday, when I promise to pen original posts on a daily basis.

Oh that's just great. First DenverFox wants me to spell and now you want me to employ higher math. I'm outta here. Good night.

BTW, not only have I seen Spotted Dick in a pub in England, I was treated for it.

I did not intend to o-ffend. I just couldn't believe Winfield was over 50! Where do the years go...

No offense taken at all. It was all just part of the fun.

Since I've celebrated the 29th anniversary of my 28th birthday, I'm legit.

See y'all in four years!

BigBlueToe 05-15-08 08:30 AM

I'm another rule-breaker. But in 6 days I'll be eligible. But who really cares?

Timtruro 05-15-08 08:39 AM

I can't therefore I won't. This is timtruro not posting on the 57 year old thread, because it is not allowed. Pay no attention to that poster behind the curtain. I am the all mighty and powerful OZ, and there is no way you get to see the Wizard, not no way, not no how.:)

John44 05-15-08 09:06 AM

I posted here 4 yrs. ago.

Are Grothendieck, Blum, and Leyland newbies in the 65+ thread?
