Love Notes Between Nerds

Those of you who know me well, know that I have a slight obsession with prime numbers.  They make me very, very happy.  Yes, I am a GIANT NERD.  Who married an equally giant nerd.  And while I fervently hope, for Roper’s sake, that nerdiness cancels out in breeding…I’m not optimistic.

In case you ever wondered what Nerdy Love looks like, here’s an email I received from Toby last week, in its entirety:

“For some reason I figured out an equation that can turn any number into a prime number.  Maybe this can be your motto?  Better make a necklace with it engraved in it :)  Anyway, it made me think of you.

X3-(X-1)3 = prime number”

*SWOON*  I have only tested a handful of numbers, but the equation seems to hold true.  To all my nerd friends – can you prove or disprove this equation?  Because if it’s true, MAMA’S GETTING A NEW NECKLACE!

    what the hell, where did you two nerds come from!!! I applaud you because I don’t know what the heck you are talking about! enjoy your necklace!

  3. A sad update, the formula fails at higher numbers. *sigh* I guess my necklace will have to have a much longer and more complex equation on it…

  4. My husband says this is not possible. :( Sorry! It would be cool on a necklace though…
