Bon-Bon: I can’t believe you didn’t want to go to the art exhibition.
Lyra: I can’t believe Princess Flurry Heart buried herself in a mound of stuffed animals. You’d think the future heir to the Crystal Empire would have guards with her, like, 24/7.
Bon-Bon: Don’t change the subject, I thought you loved art!
Lyra: Come to think of it, does Cadance need an heir? She’s a pegasus-turned-alicorn. Is she immortal? I always just kinda assumed Twilight isn’t.
Bon-Bon: Lyra!
Lyra: Whaaat? The exhibit? It’s just a bunch of minimalist post-modern crap anyway. Art is all up to interpretation, but it still has to have substance. It’s nothing more than a bunch of hacks trying to get famous.
You don't have to answer this today, seems like you've done a lot. But what is it about prime numbers that require a set of rules that 1 has to be excluded for?
I think if I try to draw an answer to this one my hand will fall off. Besides, Braeburn is twirling his lasso again. So text it is!
One reason that comes up more often than you might think is the following theorem, sometimes called the ‘Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic” by people who like to give things over-dramatic names.
Theorem. Every positive whole number can be written as a product of prime numbers in a unique way.
So for instance 42 = 2x3x7 and there’s no other way to write this as a product of primes. That simply isn’t true if you allow 1 to be a prime- 42= 1x2x3x7=1x1x2x3x7….
That’s just one example, but as I say it crops up a lot.
if only you used your powers for good instead of evil
I’m sorry but my only power is sand
I’ve seen this a few times, but the reason I always listen to it is because at first it sounds like an edit of some cover you’ve never heard before. But then you reach the end and realize “Oh gosh! This was legit! Musicians with actual talent sat down and did this for real!“
Rather than ask how you, the child of Sexxi-bbz, managed to age to maturity so quickly, I'm just going to ask you to remind your gray father about the 5 bits he owes me.
