"I have an algorithm for that..."

Someone once asked a philosophy major “what do you do with a degree in philosophy?”
He gave the best answer ever: “Become a pirate.”
I sort of feel that way about π.
I mean, 3.14159 gets it done for most things needed by us mere mortals.
My worst in high school and college..at least everything after plane geometry. After that...when it was too late...I finally got it. I guess it took longer for the math molecule in my brain to develope.
The oldest modern unsolved math problem:
1 wife + 1 joint checking account = $0.
The only mathematicians who agonize over this math problem have never had a date or never been laid in their life times..

How do you like them apples?

That should have said “find the value of x.” Otherwise that answer is correct.
"I have an algorithm for that..."
They will eventually invite infinite improbability drives and bistromathics.
Probably.
I bet Will Hunting could solve it
Elementary.
I also came to the same conclusion. :)
PING mathematics
And I guessed it
80128 is 1111111000000 in binary
Looks kinda pattern like sorta
And to think, this 'perfect numbers' topic came up just the other day, on 3/23. What are the odds?
As in,

27:44 · Why should anyone care about some old unsolved problem? But I think that's the wrong approach.
27:50 · For more than 2000 years, number theory had no real world applications. It was just mathematicians following their curiosity
27:57 · and solving problems they found interesting proving one result after another and building a foundation of useless mathematics.
28:04 · But then in the 20th century, we realized that we could take this foundation and base our cryptography on it.

Ahh, it's sod, "70", so not at all odd. It's supposed to be a secret. 🤫
This reminds me of that quote in the NT from Psalm 78:
Matthew 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Odd stuff. Thanks, Sunken Civ!
