  • Sloane numbers appear to be fairly random
  • The scoring result for odd perfect numbers applies, fairly closely, to any piece of amateur OR. Septentrionalis 01:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for reading it.
In response to your first point, sequences with the keyword core are likely to have small A-numbers, while sequences with the keyword less are likely to have A-numbers > 100000.
In response to your second point, I'm going to have to change the scoring somehow to avoid that. Can't think of a way right now, though. PrimeFan 15:49, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I've addressed that, in part by changing the Question 2 deduction to ten million points. Anton Mravcek 22:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Can we change question 3's k to (k − 1)? Otherwise, OP1 would receive −1 points. Double sharp (talk) 06:07, 18 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
 Done. Hopefully I didn't make mistakes when changing the numbers. ;-) Double sharp (talk) 13:39, 2 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

automated way to run the questionnaire edit

This is a very interesting essay and I would like to thank the author of it. There is a huge discussion in the greek version of WP about numbers and this essay was cited (here and here). I was wondering though, if there is an automated way to check specific numbers through the Questionnaire. Τζερόνυμο (talk) 07:10, 17 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
