Just compute the Taylor series of n = 1 + ( 1 + x n 2 ) \prod_{n=1}^{+\infty}(1+x^{n^2}) and look for missing monomials.

999=961+25+9+4. Actually, every number greater than 150 can be expressed.(But please don't ask me to do it!!)

Why can't you just do

3 = 1 2 + 1 2 + 1 2 3 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2

and do that for all of them?

Can somebody help me find solutions to this question?

Anagram Cracker!!

Anagrams are problems related to shuffled letters which are needed to be arranged and made into perfect meaningful sentences without repeating the letters (letters can be used only once).

Here are some anagrams which you need to crack:

1) tuteauaewribeifslh

2) geaperioitrdspawsagnhabineod

3) enaednenetorfyimrw

Remember to arrange and make a meaningful sentence (one sentence from each group of letters), not single word. If you are able to solve this anagrams please inform me the answers as well as how you found the solutions to the anagrams.

Details and assumptions:

Example:

"My name is Anil" can be written in the form of group of letters as:

meailaysmnni
