Also Du Sautoy has written that the third moment of the Rieman zeta function is actually '42'!

Alan did just the same with him too... like the way that when Marcus and the Quartz sphere boffin made Alan drew conclusions from their mathematical knowledge, Alan could go one(dimension?) higher. And cracked them up. He not only connected to their logic, but lit up their big light bulbs. Love to see that on the brain scans:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656870008489989868.post-82291542086478916082009-04-03T14:37:00.000+01:002009-04-03T14:37:00.000+01:00Yes, but after 12pm, so that means if it was all a...Yes, but after 12pm, so that means if it was all a joke, they're the fools...hayley m. bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533315276290075823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656870008489989868.post-10588944196948886732009-04-03T14:32:00.000+01:002009-04-03T14:32:00.000+01:00I wondered about some of these weird coincidences ...I wondered about some of these weird coincidences concerning prime numbers too.
