    m80 I see you are on now and I respect your yashrus.

    Perhaps you can explain both.

    Dr P & ICot among others

    It’s great to see people who love math!

    Here are some interesting mathematical properties, but not necessarily “mixups”:

    16- is the only integer where m to the nth power = n to the mth power (2 to the 4th power or 4 to the 2nd power)

    17 -is the first number that can be written as the sum of a positive cube and a positive square in two different ways; that is, the smallest n such that x3 + y2 = n has two different solutions for x and y positive integers. The next such number is 65.(2cubed plus 3squared (8+9) or 1cubed plus 4squared (1+16))

    23- The sum of the first 23 primes is 874, which is divisible by 23!

    24- the product of any 4 consecutive numbers must be divisible by 24

    25- is a perfect square (5*5) & is the sum of 2 perfect squares: 3squared(3×3=9) + 4squared(4×4=16)

    36- is a square triangular number, i.e., it can be represented as both a square & triangle using x’s (or o’s)

    (I tried the triangle above..try it yourself, you should get it!)

    x x x x x x

    x x x x x x

    x x x x x x

    x x x x x x

    x x x x x x

    x x x x x x

    .

    x

    x x

    x x x

    x x x x

    x x x x x

    x x x x x x

    x x x x x x x

    x x x x x x x x

    36- multiplied by any other number always produces a quotient whose individual digits add up to nine:

    36 x 2 = 72 (7 + 2 = 9)

    36 x 36 = 1296 (1 + 2 + 9 + 6 = 18) (1 + 8 = 9)

    36 – is the smallest integer which can be expressed as the sum of consecutive primes in 2 ways:

    36= 5 + 7 + 11 + 13

    and

    36= 17 + 19

    37 -is the only two digit number (in base 10) that when you multiply by 2 and subtract 1, results in the original number backwards!!!

    37- is the only two digit number (in base 10) with the following property:

    The difference between the two digits (absolute value) equals the square root of the difference between the original number and the least common multiple of the two digits.

    7-3=4

    4squared = 16

    7 x 3 = 21 (least common multiple)

    37 – 21 = 16

    square root of 16 = 4!

    37- very interesting mathematical properties of 37:

    111: 1+1+1=3 and 3 x 37 = 111

    222: 2+2+2=6 and 6 x 37 = 222

    333: 3+3+3=9 and 9 x 37 = 333

    999: 9+9+9=27 and 27 x 37 = 999

    44- is a happy number (replace 44 by the sum of the squares of its digits, and repeat the process until it equals 1)

    4squared + 4squared = 16+16=32

    3squared + 2squared = 9+4=13

    1squared + 3squared = 1+9=10

    1squared + 0squared = 1+0=1

    44- the number of derangements of 5 items (44 permutations where none of the elements appear in their original position)

    ***TRY IT! IT’S FUN!***

    HINT:

    9 is the number of derangements of 4 items ABC&D:

    BADC, BCDA, BDAC,

    CADB, CDAB, CDBA,

    DABC, DCAB, DCBA

    (all other permutations result in at least one in the original position)

    45- the sum of the digits 987654321 is 45.

    the sum of the digits 123456789 is 45.

    The difference between these 2 numbers is 864197532…

    GUESS WHAT!

    This difference also adds up to 45!!!

    48- is a semi-perfect number (equals the sum of some/all of its divisors)

    Its 10 divisors are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,&48 (1×48, 2×24, 3×16, 4×12, & 6×8)

    48= 2+4+6+12+24

    49- is the first square (7×7) where the digits (4&9) are also squares

    49- the sum of the digits of 49squared (2401: 2+4+0+1=7) is the square root of 49 (7×7=49)! AMAZING!

    I am SOOO surprised that davka my post which was giving chizuk to always and giving gentle mussar to keep the peace was pulled from this thread…

    If I would needle another poster ch”v, then that post would remain, as shown in this thread…

    olam hafuch hu…VERY

    m80- you are very much respected here. To err & fess up is the goal, not to make sure one never makes mistakes.

    Dovid Hamelech made mistakes but right away says “chatasi”, yet his father who never sinned/erred-there’s not much written about him in comparison.

    Those who are more active are in more of a position to err, but also in more of a position to help others.

    A concerned congregant asked, “Is the rav going to be back in time for Tisha b’Av?

    You’re experiencing the pain of major betrayal

    That is clear from your poignant portrayal

    You confided in someone you thought you could trust

    But his response to your plight seems terribly unjust

    Perhaps you can find another mentor

    Someone who will not become your tormentor

    And please don’t torment yourself as well

    For that induces depression which is hard to dispel

    You write that no one cares about you

    If you read some posts, you’ll see that’s not true

    Sasson-what a wonderful piece, so well written with a beautiful message to which many can relate.

    Thank you so much for taking the inspiration and taking it to the next step.

    PrincessEagle- your support & encouragement are very heartwarming. You epitomize here the concept of what bein adam l’chaveiro should like like.

    Dave (see, I’m calling you Dave :))- thanks for writing yet another one! With a nice message that what looks bad to us, really isn’t..

    blabla-what a bundle of talent you are! And how in your writing you try so hard to get to the positive side! It’s not easy, but we have full confidence in you that you are a survivor & trooper who is taking steady steps forward.

    I am wondering what’s so shocking,but please only answer if you are comfortable doin so. I imagine that since you are writing about it that you may wish to discuss it.

    Can you take the English translation that has commentaries on the bottom and read it while the person lains?

    Could you advise those to whom you usually speak of this project for just this one Shabbos and if they can join you in this quest? Or at the very least not hinder you? You can say it’s a favor for someone if you don’t want to come across as holier than thou 🙂

    By the way, it would probably be a great lesson to your kids seeing how you makes positive changes in your life to do what is the correct, albeit more difficult, behavior.

    -“Did these gruesome tzoros happen because we did/didn’t do X until now”

    We cannot answer this question which is better left for Eliyahu Hanavi to divulge in Hashem’s timetable.

    -“am I undertaking X because it’s easiest for me?”

    Sister Bear in her post directly above yours describes changing a middah, which we know from the sfarim is a difficult but doable feat.

    Wolf acknowledges his difficulty in his specified area. It seems to me that people actually chose areas they personally find more difficult.

    Anyhow, a well known recommendation for personal motivation is to begin with an easier goal so that one feels SUCCESSFUL and is then motivated to continue.

    And an easier goal is certainly better than NO goal towards self-improvement…

    Hatzlacha to all on succeeding in your goals

    -not fighting with others (thanks, yid4life)

    -be ready for Shabbos earlier (thanks, emlf)

    -psyching oneself into enjoying laining by reading commentaries (thanks, Wolf :))

    You’re probably confused because you read adorable’s comment as a HUGE compliment to bpt & he responded as if he was disrespected.

    Adorable was writing how she used to have a more negative outlook on marriage until bpt in his wisdom made a comment that “REALLY CHANGED MY VIEW.”

    This is a huge compliment and a big feather in anyone’s cap to have effected such a dramatic change in attitude to a way more positive one.

    We understood this despite the typo.

    Could we all focus on bein adam l’chaveiro here in the CR especially in light of what’s going on in the world currently?

    Sounds like you’re contemplating throwing the “baby” out with the bathwater:

    Your OP mentions ONE negative thing about your wife; so how many positive things about her can you come up with? Do you choose to see your glass as half empty or half full?

    Many things that are the most worthwhile in life come with hardship and difficulty, including financial.

    Ask medical school students, for example, and they’ll all tell you about their hefty student loans and tons of all-nighters they need to pull. But they keep their eye on the goal. And so should you.

    Work on your emunah (and a joint budget) and you’ll feel the joy again.

    6 dates in 1 week?

    “it’s ABSURD- I THINK SO TOO!!!,” you write.

    So why are you not telling him this and agreeing to 2 dates max per week? Why are you agreeing with him to go out so often if you are not comfortable doing so? Are you afraid how he will respond? Are you just not comfortable being yourself?

    Time apart in between dates gives one greater clarity. Listen to your gut; Hashem gives us intuition through it.

    An important part of relationships is communication, and you need to be communicating.

    “It’s a big deal for me if I say modeh ani in the morning”

    One ????? for ??? ??????? is that Hashem has great confidence and trust IN US. Hashem knows that you will get past this challenge after you put in a whole lot of work on it. And then you’ll have developed strong spiritual muscles from the difficult experience.

    It’s like the story when Hashem tells a person to move a huge boulder from blocking his front door. The guy pushes & pushes to no avail; the rock doesn’t budge. The man complains that he’s not getting anywhere…Hashem counters, “Did you see the muscles you’ve developed in your arms??!”
