Hey — wanted to announce a new competition.
QuickMaths now has two new levels — Sum of Squares and Prime Factorization.
The contest starts now until Friday March 1 (7:30 PM EST).
After the competition period ends, I'll host a twitch stream and the top 5 ratings in each of these two category will face off in 5 head-to-head showdowns (in the respective category) and everyone will be able to watch. Each round will give 5 points to the winner, 4 points to the next, 3 to the next, 2, and then 1 — and the 1st place in rating will start with 10 points, 2nd will start with 8 points, 3rd will start with 6 points, 4th will start with 2 points, and 5th will start with 0 points.
The winners in each category will win $50 each (via Amazon Gift Card).
Good luck!
The Sum of Squares task is to write a number as the sum of at most 4 squares. For example, 151=100+25+25+1151=100+25+25+1 so an acceptable answer would be "100 25 25 1" or "25,1,25,100", etc.
The Prime Factorization task is to prime factorize the given number. For example, the prime factorization of 405405 would be "3^4 * 5" or "5^1*3^4", etc.
