    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
