I'm thinking of a number...

#120
5! = 120 (5*4= 20 then 20*(2*3)=20*6=120)

One gross is 144. So, it's just 24 numbers to guess from! (assuming we remain confined to integers)

I guess 131...it's almost in the middle of the range and it's prime! ;D

40*pi?

or the floor(40*pi) or the ceiling(40*pi)?

or 125 and 126 respectively?

I guess 135 unless it's wrong in which case I guess whatever is right.


::) My logic is inescapably impeccable.

134 and 132 are also incorrect.

It's not wrong, it's just that the function isn't defined at 135. :P

Wait... so we're dealing with a real-valued function that is discontinuous within the limits you gave us! :o That doesn't seem fair at all... *grumbles*

Then, I choose 1/(135-x) :P

Well, it does approach 135 if you take the limit from the right... :P

No correct answers to date.

With what type of function are we dealing? I mean... should I be concerning myself with Heaviside step functions multiplied to arbitrary functions (you could make just about anything you wanted that way  :-\) or am I looking at a simple rational function of some form (you've said it's discontinuous so that rules out a lot of functions actually... for instance, it can't be a normal polynomial or linear function because those would be continuous)... ... ok, it's just way too much fun to drag this math talk out. :P

Not when you get on here to take a break from the math after studying for a calc 3 exam for three hours XD :P

It's either a tan function, or a sec function, but I can't remember which...

"Hi Rosella. The bad guys captured me as a kid and I couldn't figure out what was going on until you saved me a few years back. After all your efforts, I couldn't even stay out of trouble for one day and the bad guys got me all over again. My mind is easily warped, so I had no self-control when I turned you into an ugly troll. Then I almost blew up the world with this volcano..."

I'm sorry, but I'm looking for an integer, not a function.
