Dashes

A frequent mistake is to add spaces around em dashes. In case of doubt: Manual for dashes.

MAD

I have been, in 1984, the co-author with Bruno Chabrier of MAD.

Travelling

I have travelled in:

Dvaravati

• 
  7^th century Mon/Dvaravati sandstone head of Buddha. Front.
•

Question 6 generalized

${\frac {a^{n}+b^{n}}{\displaystyle \sum _{i=2}^{n}\sum _{j=1}^{i-1}a^{i-j}b^{j}+1}}$ with $(a;b)\in {\mathbb {N} ^{+}}^{2},n\in \mathbb {N} ,n\geq 2$, when it yields a result in $\mathbb {N}$, is always a power of $n$.

Question 6 is the case where $n$ is 2.

When $n$ is 3, there are only two solutions (symmetry put aside): $(1;2)$ and $(7;9)$, both yielding $1=1^{3}$.

When $n>3$, there are no solutions.

Incompressible real numbers

Let I be the set of real numbers with an infinite Kolmogorov complexity. I is the set of incompressible numbers. Show that I is dense in $\mathbb {R}$.

Software development index

The software development index of a developer for a given programming language is the average number of lines of code written in that language that turn out to be bug free. The whole mankind is between 3 and 20.

Voynich

What if all the surprising repetitions in the Voynich Manuscript were actually due to the fact that it does not contain a text, but another piece of data, which is often repetitive? What if it was the work of a person trying to preserve forbidden Arabic music in the context of the Reconquista? For instance Andalusi classical music? We wouldn't be looking for words in a language but some form of Musical notation, possibly cheironomic signs.
