Textbook: Brainworks (p8)
Q24(b) A mathematician proposed that

"Every even number greater than 2 can

 be expressed as a sum of two prime

numbers." Do you agree? Why?

I don't agree so.4 is an even number

 however it is only formed by two 2s.

In this way,it is considered as only using

one prime number hence not every

single even number can be expressed

 as a sum of two prime numbers.

Inuit numerals from 1 to 19(sequence1,2,3,4,5...19,0)

I chose Inuit Numerals because I feel it is very interesting that the inuit numerals are made up of many zig-zag lines.I feel it also looks very fascinating to write numbers in this way.Everytime the number amount gets bigger,we add another line to the number before.For example,the difference between 5 and 10 is that there is another line added on top of 5's numeral,same for 10 and 15.
