Wow! Priceless reaction ! I am saving the screen shot of above, lest it disappears.

@csaurabhji no need to get unhinged just because someone posted a math problem here. As you said, you could have
ignored it ! (But still, who knows, among you, or your circle, some one may have
some interest or ability to do simple math problems..like those whose AI may look for patterns in debris may find patterns in integers to find a simple number
) Math is basis of all sciences and pixels in a photo are nothing but binary digits!
I *never* would have thought of asking a math olympiad level question to you - you don't seem to be that type, so no worries.
This is last from me about this so please relax.

But I do have a comment about, repeated references to " Chandrayaan 2 and its failure". Last one from me, but posting it here nevertheless as I seriously think it is important.
As said before, there are many scientifically challenged ddm's in the world. For many the sole mantra is rant against mainstream scientific organizations in India or "'US-based' ivory tower nincompoops". (To be clear - no one should take it personally as it is not directed toward one person but general trend of articles in media).
In my humble opinion, Brf does not need one of the same here. Many of old timers like me visit brf to catch-up on interesting news items (and sometimes contribute to provide their POV)
)- missed in other media, do not find such posts helpful.
It is one thing to provide input, even personal opinions but there is a fine line between endless, statements which have no basis and ignore even the most basic scientifically verifiable facts.
I am sad to see this trend creep in so many of brf threads.

Looking back at my (and some others) posts, I am fairly proud that they give an unique pov - often missed by ordinary news papers - presented in a clear concise way - even for experts. Hope people find those posts useful. I reposted some of the earlier posts here above for reference in that spirit.
Over and out.. back to lurking mode (unless something exciting happens here
or a serious question directed to me over my comments ).
