how did i not know about this place!?

[craig]

Syracuse Sand Dunes, a grand total of 20 miles away from my house. how the HELL did i not know about this place? it has close to 3-4 square miles of sand dunes that have vehicle access. WTF!?

[Hoppy]

get the bug fired up and move out!

yup, as soon as i get some paddle tires im goin over there. right now i have regular street tires, wouldnt move too fast in the sand with those.

you oughta have taken your truck there

btw... somehow, the name "Syracuse" has been on my mind for 2 or 3 days
I think I read it somewhere...

[celsdogg]

looks like the place where napolean dynamite's grandmom broke here coccyx.

[xsperf]

wow, how did you not know about that? thats looks like fun! you should build a crib there!

i know! i always wanted to take the truck through some sand dunes, but the closest i knew of was beaver oklahoma, which is 150-200 miles away and i couldnt afford the gas

theres Syracuse NY. Syracuse University. Syracuse, Sicily. and the Syracuse function which is an unsolvable math problem which my tiny little head wont even attempt to try and read

[witeshark]

What a cool place!

[MTurboPower3]

Damn that's crazy I would love to take an X5 4.8 and see what it can do off road.

forget ask jeeves or wikipedia, im asking you for info next time i want to know something

[Hoppy]

haha well i knew the first two cause i live in MA, which, boarders NY. the knew the third cause im of italian descent and my grandfather is scicilian, and i knew that last one cause im a nerd

Syracuse function

If k is an odd integer, then 3k + 1 is even, so we can write 3k + 1 = 2ak′, with k' odd and a ≥ 1. We define a function f from the set I of odd integers into itself, called the Syracuse Function, by taking f (k) = k′ (sequence A075677 in OEIS).
Some properties of the Syracuse function are:
f (4k + 1) = f (k) for all k in I.
For all p ≥ 2 and h odd, f p - 1(2 p h - 1) = 2 3 p - 1h - 1 (see here for the notation).
For all odd h, f (2h - 1) ≤ (3h - 1)/2
The Syracuse Conjecture is that for all k in I, there exists an integer n ≥ 1 such that f n(k) = 1. Equivalently, let E be the set of odd integers k for which there exists an integer n ≥ 1 such that f n(k) = 1. The problem is to show that E = I. The following is the beginning of an attempt at a proof by induction:
1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are known to exist in E. Let k be an odd integer greater than 9. Suppose that the odd numbers up to and including k - 2 are in E and let us try to prove that k is in E. As k is odd, k + 1 is even, so we can write k + 1 = 2ph for p ≥ 1, h odd, and k = 2ph-1. Now we have:
If p = 1, then k = 2h - 1. It is easy to check that f (k) < k , so f (k) ∈ E; hence k ∈ E.
If p ≥ 2 and h is a multiple of 3, we can write h = 3h′. Let k′ = 2p + 1h′ - 1; we have f (k′) = k , and as k′ < k , k′ is in E; therefore k = f (k′) ∈ E.
If p ≥ 2 and h is not a multiple of 3 but h ≡ (-1)p mod 4, we can still show that k ∈ E. (Cf.)
The problematic case is that where p ≥ 2 , h not multiple of 3 and h ≡ (-1)p+1 mod 4. Here, if we manage to show that for every odd integer k′, 1 ≤ k′ ≤ k-2 ; 3k′ ∈ E we are done. (Cf.).

ha.


fuck that.

and btw i want a snowboard and some sand dunes

[Kasei]

I have a math teacher at my school that can do anything math related and make it look like using an easy bake....I'm taking that crap and showing him, and if he does something with it I am going to slap the taste out of his mouth. Who has time for stuff like that? Any way those dunes look pimpin, I want to take my 525 and bury the sob there. Since the wreck its been crap, thats for another time though lol.

[denyo77]

how much did the repair cost you btw?
