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!
This is funny. Really really funny :) I heart Toby for that email. You have certainly found your match.
xo
Toby is the best!! Sounds like you’re having a fabulous birthday – hope the boys spoil you tonight as well! xo
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!
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…
My husband says this is not possible. :( Sorry! It would be cool on a necklace though…
