  • It’s literally a covert project funded by google to both sell pixels and harvest data of “privooocy” minded users. It seems to be working well.

    Is it actually funded by Google? Citation needed.

    I would assume Graphene users make up a statistically insignificant number of Pixel buyers, and most of the users of it I’ve met opt to use it without any Google services.

    17 × 59 = 10003

    you’ve got an extra zero in there, and you forgot the 1, but the rest of your divisors match my crude brute-force approach:

    >>> n=31521281
    >>> d = [ x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x ]
    >>> d
    [1, 11, 17, 59, 187, 649, 1003, 2857, 11033, 31427, 48569, 168563, 534259, 1854193, 2865571]
    >>> yours=list(map(int,"11+17+59+2857+11033+534259+1854193+2865571+168563+48569+10003+31427+649+187".split("+")))
    >>> set(yours) - set(d)
    {10003}
    >>> set(d) - set(yours)
    {1, 1003}
    >>> sum(d)
    5518399
    

    same conclusion though: 5518399 also ≠ 31521281

    bonus nonsense
    >>> isperfect = lambda n: n == sum(x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x)
    >>> [n for n in range(1, 10000) if isperfect(n)]
    [6, 28, 496, 8128]
    

    (from https://oeis.org/A000396 i see the next perfect number after 8128 is 33550336 which is too big for me to wait for the naive approach above to test…)

    more bonus nonsense
    >>> divisors_if_perfect = lambda n: n == sum(d:=[x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x]) and d
    >>> print("\n".join(f"{n:>5} == sum{tuple(d)}" for n in range(10000) if (d:=divisors_if_perfect(n))))
        6 == sum(1, 2, 3)
       28 == sum(1, 2, 4, 7, 14)
      496 == sum(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248)
     8128 == sum(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 127, 254, 508, 1016, 2032, 4064)

    it’s the same joke as “caesar salad was invented by julius caesar”

    Except it’s a bit different because the Caesar in Caesar salad (named after chef Caesar Cardini) is actually spelled the same way as Julius Caesar, whereas Neapolitan (meaning of Naples) is not related to the name Napoleon at all.

    It hadn’t occurred to me that Neapolitan ice cream might have something to do with the name Napoleon before I saw this meme; the similarity of the words and incorrect implication that they are related is what makes it funny.
