2, you can find all odd and even numbers with its shenanigans and the binary system being base 2. It's also somewhat of my fascination with silver, being second. I remember this feeling when I was in 5th class or something and me and my friends were talking about lets race to the door and see who gets first. I don't even know why I remember this but I do but And we were three friends/classmates and I was just thinking, man I am happy being second. I really don't want gold, I am happy with silver medal :) If I think about it nowadays, I think that it sort of means that I am happy with being the second-best, I don't have an "obsession" with being the best (1) within the short-term that it might impact my chances long-term in things. I also don't like too-much drama within my life, so I am happy if that drama can get redirected to 1 while I can hopefully try to do my things with patience. Also, I have made too many is-odd/is-even projects within multiple languages ;) I also like 25/5, I don't know how to explain this but there is a way to write the exponents of 5^n exponentially so 5^3=125 5^4=((1 × 5)+1)_25 = 625 5^5= ((6 × 5)+1)_25 = 3125 5^6=((31 × 5)+1)_25= 15625 5^7=((156 × 5)+1)_25 = 78125 I don't know I was just playing with numbers until I kind of hit this thing As you can see that there is a bit of recursion, you can actually create a formula of 5^n as far as I can tell but I have forgotten the formula Actually this also has something to do with 2 in the derivations to find it, as 10/2=5 ;) I wanted to find a ways to code exponents quickly, I tried doing it with any other number but I was unable to do that. I am not sure what this is called though or if I have discovered something new, It was a trick that I only shared once with my classmates. Nothing too big kinda. Maybe some mathematician can chime in here ;) if there is a more mathematical term to what I have found or if what I have found is even new [I extremely doubt it but hey who knows ;) ] Either way I was proud of myself for what I had discovered and I also had told my mom about it iirc :] (Anecdotally I also tried discovering the sum of n numbers accidentally when I was in 6th class by trying to sum the odd numbers as even + 1 and even as 2 × ( sequence themselves but with half the numbers), maybe a bit of recursion itself until I stumbled on the n (n+1)/2, later I found that gauss had also done something similar maybe even around the same age but I can't even compare myself to the legend that gauss is, but still once again, proud of this too) I still kind of remember using pencil if I remember correctly for this thing as pens were still new to me back then. Also the explaination of then later the triangle n (n+1) / 2 genuinely felt so intuitive later because of these attempts by me. > Actually this also has something to do with 2 in the derivations to find it, as 10/2=5 ;) | ||

Plus, 2+2 = 2*2 = 2² = 2↑↑2 = 2↑↑↑2 I only knew the basic ones from this meme, but the hyperoperations are explained in the explanation video: | ||
