Mathematician: hey
Mathematician: you know that new crop circle?
BARDSQUILL: yup
Mathematician: there are 509 individual little square
thingies, which is a prime number, (the ninety seventh)
Mathematician: 9+7=16 1+6=7 which is also prime
Mathematician: the fourth
Mathematician: 5+0+9=14 1+4=5 which is the third prime
BARDSQUILL: what are the implications to you?
Mathematician: well
Mathematician: there's two trains of thought
Mathematician: a) it's manmade
Mathematician: b) authentic
Mathematician: following a
Mathematician: it's very difficult to create such a pattern
with a prime number of elements
Mathematician: needs lots of planning
Mathematician: it could be manmade because there may
be a new way to create crop circles that look very authentic, see chilbolton,
the new alien face one
Mathematician: however
Mathematician: if they're not
Mathematician: it's a bit more straightforward
Mathematician: so the skeptic in me is going with a,
tentatively
Mathematician: but if you use occam's razor b looks more
plausible
Mathematician: occam's razor should always be used with
caution
Mathematician: and not a means of proof
BARDSQUILL: Good work
Mathematician: and also to fit in with the nine thing you're going with in each loop there are three sections, and there are six loops 3*6=18 1+8=9
