In a +1 way, it’s 17.
But in a PRIME FACTOR way, it’s 32.
Why? And which is it?
- Kindergarten kids: 17
- Primary: 17
- Middle School: 17
- High school: 17
- College: probably both, but more likely 17
- University: 15? 17? 32? WHAT?!?!?!?!
- Real-life mathematicians who only care about supernaturals: 32
(screech sound)
What on Earth is a SuPeRnAtUrAl?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
If you watch Vi Hart’s video “How many types of infinity are there?” at 9:04, it says “supernatural” numbers. You know indices, x to the power of y? if y is infinity, for any real x bigger than 1 will be infinite. The +1 definition sees 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*… the same as 7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*…, but in the supernaturals, the 7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7*… is bigger, because they are multiplied the same infinite amount, and every time, 2<7, 4<49, etc.
So in the supernatural way, the number 16 is closer to 32 than 17 because 16 and 32 are just times 2 away, while 17 is… well, does not have a common factor at all.
That’s good!

Math we NEED to know 
I truly love your blog.. Excellent colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself? Please reply back as I’m attempting to create my very own site and want to learn where you got this from or what the theme is named. Kudos!

Thanks for being so optimistic about my blog… I use WordPress to create the posts and track the stats of my website, otherwise, it would be a little harder for me to code it. The theme is Independent Publisher 2, which is classic but awesome. Thanks again!

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. But imagine if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could certainly be one of the very best in its niche. Terrific blog!

In the earlier days of this blog’s lifespan, the posts used to have videos from Youtube and images of (mostly) my own, but nowadays, it doesn’t pop up in my mind that I should include images and videos. Thanks for the advice!
