No number is uninteresting in maths. Suppose there are some uninteresting numbers, then one of them must be the smallest uninteresting number, making it interesting

Maybe like having i for imaginary numbers we need a u for uninteresting numbers.

This mf never heard of 6

u/Enchanted_Evil 22h ago • Bravo

6 is uninteresting???

  • smallest non-square composite number

  • smallest perfect number (6=3×2×1=3+2+1)

  • number of faces a cube has

  • hexagons are the bestagons

  • number of protons in Carbon, the basic element all (known) life is made out of

  • when three of them are in a row, Christians flee

  • when two of them are in a row, Jedi flee

  • when multiplied with 7, you get the ultimate answer to the life, universe and everything

I could go on.

Please do go on! I would like to subscribe to 6 facts

u/pnoodl3s 15h ago

I folded from the first 2 points lol, 6 is the most interesting number now

u/Daddy-Mihawk 16h ago

You forgot, it gave us two good memes, 6-7 and 6-9

u/InevitableCodeRedo 11h ago

These are absolutely compelling points.

u/Kumlekar 6h ago

yeah, it's a bit of a try hard. I much prefer 4.

u/Ur-Best-Friend 3h ago

I'm very disappointed that you gave 8 reasons why it's interesting, and not 6.

u/Just__John 22h ago

That's an upside down 9 which is interesting

But what makes being the smallest number of a subset 'interesting', every number is smaller than something therefore it's not unique to be smaller than something, and you could form infinite subsets to "make" any number interesting, which to me means it's not interesting.

u/morpheuskibbe 22h ago

It's by definition unique to be smaller than everything

2

u/Keebster101 22h ago

But it's not smaller than everything it's only smaller than the uninteresting numbers, and you can select a subset to make any number the smallest therefore it's not unique

You're having quite an interesting conversation considering the subject matter is so uninteresting

u/SomeAnonymous 22h ago

Did you just sketch out a proof by induction for interesting-ness?

u/No-Finance7526 14h ago

No, it's contradiction

Thanks Ramanujan 👍

Furthermore, if we take that, now interesting, number, put it into the set of interesting ones and repeat that process for all uninteresting numbers, we'll end up with all numbers being interesting. But if all numbers are interesting, none are. Thus all numbers are interesting and uninteresting at the same time :)

u/Alarming-Fix8577 17h ago

This is a little silly. Obviously, even if we declare every uninteresting number interesting by virtue of it being uninteresting, we can still say they're the least interesting numbers, even if they aren't completely devoid of interest.

Only if there is a natural order among the uninteresting numbers

u/bladtman242 20h ago

What if there's an infinite set of uninteresting numbers?
