It appears as though this message was ignored, since another three posts on that unspeakable topic sneaked into math-fun. Anyway, in an attempt to raise the tone of the conversation, there exist magic hypercubes of side length 4^n in d dimensions, for all n,d > 0. http://cp4space.wordpress.com/2012/09/08/durers-square/ In other news, there's a purported proof of the abc conjecture. (I wonder whether it will go the same way as that proof of P != NP?) Speaking of difficult problems being solved, the Jigcypher was completed by a mysterious, anonymous person: http://cp4space.wordpress.com/2012/09/06/digest/ Sincerely, Adam P.

I am by fiat hereby declaring that

JUNK DNA IS OFF TOPIC

for the Math-Fun list for 30 days, until October 8. Somehow, this topic brings out a lurking nastiness in our posters that is not awakened by everted spheres and truncated tetrahedra.

If you are in doubt, don't post it. Run it by me first.
