I'm afraid it's become a little cluttered in here. Oh, well why didn't I see that? I think I'd better leave this. This is some correspondence I've been having with Tanggye, a Tibetan, and the Abbe Delville in Louvain. It's on the theory of numbers. In 1742, Goldbach postulated that every positive, even integer is a sum of two primes. It's been verified to 10,000, but never proved. We're trying to prove it. Yes, I'd want to know where to find that. Dennis Scott:
By all means. It sounds interesting, but isn't it a little pointless? Theodore Honey:
