The Mathematics of Birthdays

[trowa_barton101]

Last year, my age was cubed.
Today, my age is perfect (i.e. 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14)
So far, so good.

A perfect year is a tall order, but I still hope you get it!

Thank you

Happy birthday!!!

Okay, so I'm totally not getting this perfection thing. What makes a perfect number perfect?

[trowa-barton.livejournal.com]

A perfect number is a number that is the sum of all of its divisors except itself.

Example: 6 = 1 + 2 + 3 because 1*6 = 6 and 2*3 = 6

In the case of 28, 1*28 = 28, 2*14 = 28, and 4*7 = 28
As a result: 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28

The next perfect number will be 496.

Thank you. Midwest Grill?

I always forget I'm older than you...

Oh! Happy Birthday!

Of course, I've already been perfect for nearly a month...

Huh. When my dad was your age, I was 4.

I keep trying to tell people that I'm no longer the young one. It has been 3.5 years since I met hammercock, over 10 years since I started MIT, and I'm pushing 30.

You're too kind ;)

[hammercock.livejournal.com]

I hope to, but I'm not sure yet. Can I let you know tonight or tomorrow morning?

[trowa-barton.livejournal.com]

No problem.

Happy Birthday!

[trowa-barton.livejournal.com]

Great icons, BTW!

[tikvah.livejournal.com]

All the credit for the new ones, with one exception that is used in this comment, goes to dani_thegirl_. Now that I have the DVD, I'll make a few new ones of my own.

[trowa-barton.livejournal.com]

How did you get the DVD 5 days before the official release?

[tikvah.livejournal.com]

Some shops in Manhattan started selling them early, and my sister sent one to me as her Hanukkah gift.

I love my captain sister.

Happy Birthday! I had to look up the definition of a perfect number to re-aquaint myself. I'm glad your late 20s are treating you well :)
