Cantorsdust posted:You know primes. Sometimes primes come in pairs only two apart, like 11 and 13, or 29 and 31. It's been proven that there are an infinite number of such "twin prime" pairs. But what about primes appearing three apart? Or four apart? Some number n apart? Are there an infinite number of "n prime" pairs for any n? If not, which n's? I'm pretty sure number theory is something that makes people go crazy. Not everybody, but the entire subject area is a minefield of whoa relationships and interconnections. Even really simple things like φ(n) are just weird. Maybe it's just that I personally am borderline nuts.

viewtyjoe posted:Because public education is compulsory In most US states there are very liberal policies about alternative schooling. In Texas for example the statement is flat-out false. It may be true in the actual situation that was the basis of your anecdote, if there was such a situation you had in mind.

tsa posted:Not to speak for them but I'm pretty sure they meant if you want to send your kid to school the public school of their district has to take them with very few exceptions. You're right. (I mean, that's certainly one way to interpret the statement to which I responded, and it may have been the intention.)
