I cannot believe next Thursday is Thanksgiving. Can you? And this year will be over in a month. Wow, I'm shocked at how fast time is going by. It's most likely because we're having fun or either staying busy.

I like to do crossword puzzles, ride my bike, do chores around the house and blow bubbles outside. And play board games with my friends.

Valentine's Day

They are the same holiday in that case, just different names. They originally were for remembering the end of WWI, but later were adapted to pay respects to all veterans of war for the respective country. Tonight is a ‘festival’ that Americans don’t have, Bonfire Night.

There are of course things that Americans have that the British don’t. Thanksgiving for example, but also the more obvious Fourth of July celebrations to commemorate American Independence. You can imagine that’s not exactly worldwide - and of course not in the UK xD

Wow, that's something new that I've learned today. Thanks CG52. Your country must have different holidays than the U.S.

Coolguy52 5 months ago

Interesting. In the UK we have Armistice Day which is essentially the same.

It's already November 4th. Veteran's day will be next Monday, the 11th.

I guess it’s just a lot of calculations to make it work and many places you can mess up. I will say that if it was much bigger it would likely have taken a lot longer, and possibly I would have given up. I don’t give up very easily, and calculating that sort of expression is quite a procedural exercise so in a way it can be kind of relaxing.

chris3000 5 months ago

Wow, incredible....that's correct. I did it on my graphing calculator too and that's the same number you got.

Coolguy52 5 months ago

That took a while - and is just about the limit of what i can be bothered doing by hand:

The answer:

SPOILER

85^10=19,687,440,434,072,265,625

The method:

SPOILER

With a huge computation like this, I break it down into different parts. I noted that 85^10=(85^5)^2=(85^4*85)^2=((85^2)^2*85)^2, then computed 85^2 as 7,225.

The method I used for squaring each of these bigger numbers is to break it down into two sections. In general you can let N=A*10^n+B and then compute N^2 as (A^2*10^2n+B^2)+2*A*B*10^n, which are easier calculations to perform in my opinion.

85^4=7,225^2=(7,200^2+25^2)+7,200*50=51,840,625+360,000=52,200,625

85^5=52,200,625*85=4,437,053,125

4,437,053,125^2=((44,370)^2*10^10+(53,125)^2)+2*44,370*53125*10^5

44,370^2=100*4,437^2=100*((44^2*10,000+37^2)+2*44*37*100)=100*((19,361,369)+(325,600))=1,968,696,900

53,125^2=(53^2*10^6+125^2)+2*53*125*10^3=(2,809,015,625)+13,250,000=2,822,265,625

2*44,370*53,125=44,370*106,250=4,437,000,000+266,220,000+8,874,000+2,218,500=4,714,312,500

Finally:

85^10=4,437,053,125^2=(1,968,696,900*10^10+2,822,265,625)+4,714,312,500*10^5=(19,686,969,002,822,265,625)+471,431,250,000,000=19,687,440,434,072,265,625

I hope I copied all of my working correctly, as that took a bit...

85 to the power of 10 equals:
