It’s been a long wait but I have finally got my hands on a Myo armband this week!   To start, you need to download and install Myo Connect from here. You need to go through the set up guide, which includes teaching the Myo armband how to classify the EMG readings from your arm [...]

Problem Consider the following “magic” 3-gon ring, filled with the numbers 1 to 6, and each line adding to nine. Working clockwise, and starting from the group of three with the numerically lowest external node (4,3,2 in this example), each solution can be described uniquely. For example, the above solution can be described by the [...]

Problem All square roots are periodic when written as continued fractions and can be written in the form: For example, let us consider ?23: If we continue we would get the following expansion: The process can be summarised as follows: It can be seen that the sequence is repeating. For conciseness, we use the notation [...]

Problem It is well known that if the square root of a natural number is not an integer, then it is irrational. The decimal expansion of such square roots is infinite without any repeating pattern at all. The square root of two is 1.41421356237309504880…, and the digital sum of the first one hundred decimal digits [...]

Problem Triangle, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, and octagonal numbers are all figurate (polygonal) numbers and are generated by the following formulae: The ordered set of three 4-digit numbers: 8128, 2882, 8281, has three interesting properties. The set is cyclic, in that the last two digits of each number is the first two digits of the [...]
