Okay, so maybe more than once choice applies, but if you had to choose just one, what you would it be?

Re: Pheonix Threads

Sometimes I don't spend enough time rummaging around in the old threads, and after I start a new one, I get sent a link to an old one on the same topic.

Talking Re: Pheonix Threads

___In keeping with my vote for #3, behold a Phoenix Thread:
http://hypography.com/forums/physics...e-numbers.html

___This is one of the first threads I started & I give it the 'phoenix treatment' every once in a while to forestall its closure & bring it to the attention of new members.
___After making my initial discoveries of the sets & expositing them here, I exhausted my computer capacity for further exploration (save months long runs). I think these sets of Strange Numbers et al have a fine potential as Distributed Computing projects.

Re: Pheonix Threads

Cool idea, Turtle. This thread can also be a good way for cool threads to be brought back around. I saw a cool one on Schroedingers Cat by a similar post...





EDIT: that's got to be one of my shortest posts ever, yet I said "cool" three times... I need to get out more...
