    Very excellent video! You are very very cool. ;)

    Just a complement: I saw a similar rule with 1, 3, 2 and -1, -3, -2. Kind of: ABCDEFG; 1G + 3F + 2E – 1D – 3C – 2B + 1A. Bobagem.

    Your pen ran out of ink? Well NO WONDER you didn’t like my method. If you’re going to *write it down*, why bother with all these tricks? Just do long division!

    And even if you did feel compelled to write out the steps, why copy all those numbers every time? That’s just silly. Straw man!

    But I’m glad to see you’re coming around to the rockitude of seven — slowly but surely. I choose to ignore your mocking tone. SEVEN RULES AND YOU KNOW IT.

    I liked that one, …
    I liked that one, too. I think the computations in mine are a little easier, but you’re right that it’s nice to have the remainder.

    Uhh … the …
    Uhh … the different primes work differently. To pull the same trick on 13 for example, you need to take the digits in groups of *6* and just add them together (no alternation) then you just have to find some way of dividing this result by 13. You can, of course, use the quadruple then add to previous digits rule to that smaller number.

    1000 == -1 (mod 7). …
    1000 == -1 (mod 7). Nice. :) And this one retains the remainder intact as well.

    I wonder if anyone caught the vague reference to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, or maybe I’m wrong in uming that’s what it was meant to be… neways, another great vid soup….

  9. 12ytjljlcrf says:

    ‘Soup, are you sure …
    ‘Soup, are you sure about that rule (with 1, 3, 2)? I don’t know, it looks wrong (a different order; GFEDCBA)… By the way, I still vote for pleonasm. ..

    The title of this series IS an oxymoron, however it is useful. Enteraining and effective math would be a better title!

    You’re so much fun!!!

  12. ashboxtoo says:

    “You take them and …
    “You take them and alternately subtract and add them inversely” ROFL!

    Was this the method that also works with any prime under 50?
