Saw this statement on another site: "Any prime number higher than three, when squared and subtracted by one, will always turn out to be a multiple of 24."

I never heard of this one before. Is there a proof of this property? Definitely needs a bit more investigation.

Hm...I'm running into a timeout with #Creusot when trying to verify a simple `add` operation on a HashMap newtype

https://github.com/creusot-rs/creusot/discussions/1477

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Disclaimer: I'm totally new to creusot and #FormalVerification, so please be gentle with me.

Boosts very much appreciated.

Thank you!

#ITByte: In #Cryptography, a zero-knowledge #Proof or zero-knowledge #Protocol is a method by which one party (the prover) can prove to another party (the verifier) that a given statement is true while the prover avoids conveying any additional information apart from the fact that the statement is indeed true.

Proof by starvation: This is a proof form in which you first prove that a counterexample to the theorem must have property X, then, using X, prove that it must also have property Y, then that it must also have property Z, ... until you have piled up so many requirements on a counterexample that everybody sees that it cannot exist.

I have done that a few times. It is a nice way to organize one's thoughts.

A Proof of the Collatz Conjecture

This method estimates π by generating random points within a cube and calculating the ratio of points that fall inside an inscribed sphere . The ratio of points inside the sphere to total points approximates π/6. #MathArtMarch #Proof #Irrational #PiDay
