Twin Prime Proof Proffered

Posted by samzenpus on from the is-this-going-to-be-on-the-test dept.

HateBreeder writes "Continuing on a previous slashdot story regarding Arenstorf's proof of the existence of Infinitely Many Prime Twins, it seems that a hole has recently been found in the proof, however mathematicians remain hopeful that the proof can be corrected."

    You must be a pure mathematician.

    You seem quite cut off from the reality of a first post. ;-)

    are you agreeing or disagreeing with the coward? I would have been more clear if you offered some of your own text and not just copied the dictionary entry.

    In any event the coward is correct, proffered is not the proper word to use in this case.

    I know this will probably get a -1 country music modifier, but...

    Reminds me of an old Tom T. Hall Song...

    I love little baby ducks, old pick-up trucks, slow-moving trains, and rain
    I love little country streams, sleep without dreams, sunday school in may, And hay
    And I love you too

    I love leaves in the wind, pictures of my friends, birds in the world, and squirrels
    I love coffee in a cup, little fuzzy pups, bourbon in a glass, and grass,
    And I love you too

    I love honest open smiles, kisses from a child, tomatoes on the vine, and onions
    I love winners when they cry, losers when they try, music when it's good, and life
    And I love you too
