Let's count to infinity!

For your silly little games.

lets see...
16+1 = X
16 = X-1
256 = x² -2x +1
0 = x²-2x - 255 --> x = -15

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Clearly every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes.
I have discovered a truly wonderful proof of this proposition, but the signature is too small to contain it.

Still don't understand how that makes 26. This needs its own thread.

Also, I'm feeling lazy.

@WhoDatMath

The expression gives the remainder upon dividing a by n. From there, once you see that (mod 27), seeing the expression evaluates to 26 becomes fairly simple. :)

P(P(P(P(P(1)))))

where P(n) denotes the nth prime number.

lim
x->4
x/x + x/x + x/x+x/x+ x/x + x/x+x/x+ x/x + x/x+x/x+ x/x + x/x+x/x+ x/x + x/x+x/x+ x/x + x/x+x/x+ x/x + x/x+x/x+ x/x + x/x+x/x+ x/x + x/x+x/x+ x/x + x/x+x/x+ x/x + x/x + integral 4 to 4 of 4x

I think I have broken the four 4's game :D
