How I decide to spend my Sunday afternoon - (4)

I I don't know; who who I am
Am Am I myself; is is this my body?
Just Just some-one; really really any-body.
One One .person in this world; I I am not special.
Of Of all people – who knows me; or or what do I mean to the world?
Many Many people think like this; Me Me too.

No other thought has induced new gratification.


I think sharing literature on a problem-solving-site is not expected, but hiding something (a message) in it justifies that and might make it a problem.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

This is especially for Thành Đạt Lê.

There are three thoughts hidden in this poem that have something to do with the poem's meaning.

There are "I", "me" and "my" in Italics. But not "myself", that means you are an individual that cares about others and put others' problem on top of yours. You want people to be safe before you do.

There is "someone" and "anybody" with hyphens in the middle, separating the word. It's called "hyphenation". It's not needed but it is for people to focus on those words.

Finally, there are semicolons separating each quote, with the last half is a response to the first half. It means you are talking to yourself and you don't need anyone else to solve your problems.

It sounds so much better in my head. Also, we are the only people that enjoy doing this in Brilliant. A scary thought for sure.

@Thành Đạt Lê It's not what most people are here, I guess.

But, for more mathematical intepretations, I have also hidden something in this poem. You have to look at specific words or letters, and the last line isn't separated just because it looks good

@Henry U Let me take a guess, something has to do with the Fibonacci sequence or primes numbers.

@Thành Đạt Lê No, you just have to look at the an a_n -th letter of each word in the last line. But no worries, (an)2=ann (a_n)^2 = a_n \quad \forall n

@Henry U Thanks.

@Thành Đạt Lê And I still don't figure out.

@Thành Đạt Lê I have formatted the note again. It should be clear now.

@Henry U Thanks a lot. The fourth chapter should be out anytime soon.

Thành Đạt Lê - 2 years, 5 months ago

@Henry U Part 4 has came out. Read it.

Thành Đạt Lê - 2 years, 5 months ago

It is so interesting to see what other people interpret into my own words and how their opinions also might differ!!

@Henry U I swear, it sounds so stupid! This is so embarrassing. It makes for a good laugh though.

Thành Đạt Lê - 2 years, 5 months ago

What about you writing a story?

Thành Đạt Lê - 2 years, 5 months ago

Log in to reply

Good idea, I will think about possible themes. Right now I don't have enough time to write a whole story, though.

Henry U - 2 years, 5 months ago

Well, there's part 5. Go check it out.

Thành Đạt Lê - 2 years, 5 months ago

And there's part 6. Also, your new problem is quite good.
