Re: Confessions
I confess that I often, when looking at the time on a digital clock, remove the colon, read it as a number, and try to calculate, in my head, the prime factors of the number before the time changes...
for instance: The time is currently 1:44... the prime factors of 144 are 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3
the time is now 1:45... the prime factors of 145 are 5, 29
I'm pathetic.
I blame XKCD for this nuance.
