More Foxtrot Geekery

Today's Foxtrot was a paint by numbers with divisibility by 13, 17, 19 or primeness being the color key. I was sitting around bored, so I worked it out. After writing a little script to take a number and tell me what color it was supposed to be.





From Bill Amend's blog, it's obvious I'm not the first one to work it out. One of the numbers (2261) is divisble by both 17 and 19, and he has received complaints already. Go internet.

I should have known you'd do it. :-)

I almost succumbed to the same temptation.

OMG.. I actually started it as well.. I was bored & waiting for my mom... but I digress. You *wrote a script*... See... this is why you have a superhero persona.

Awesome. I wondered, but I wasn't going to put in the work.

Ah, someone else who wrote a script! I knew I could not be the only one!

You know, there's a certain point at which the line between 'geek' and 'lifeless loser' blurs. You're advancing on that line at a high fraction of C, which I suspect accounts for the massive blurring going on at the moment.

The line might seem blurred to you, but due to the Lorentz Contraction it looks increasingly thin and sharp from my frame of reference. :)

Hee! You win.
