        Oh the apple, pineapple, banana equation? My equation-solving powers only gets far enough to need two more equations to solve them, I never learned well that trick with the matrix

            Huh, and how do you decipher the lenght of the numbers? I used to really like math

              there's a link in the thread that goes through the solution but I don't have it on hand

                a very fascinating diophantine equation

                alright I wasn't that much interested anyways.

                Why the fuck every math wikipeida article is so fucking indecipherable, like c'mon dumb it down dammit.

                Edit: turns out diophantine means "polinomial"

                  think it's a specific type of polynomial (two or more unknowns and integer solutions) but I just learned the word, so
