Practice more problem-solving at A few years ago, the king decided your life would be forfeit unless you tripled the gold coins in his treasury. Fortunately, a strange little man appeared and magically performed the feat. Unfortunately, you promised him your first-born child in exchange for his help and today he s come to collect. Can you figure out how to outsmart the man and keep your baby? Dan Finkel shows how.

Proof:
F(F(n)=3n
And F is strictly increasing. And F(n)>n
Let's construct F step by step
Let F(1)=2 (if we try something bigger we are blocked)
F(F(1)=3 means F(2)=3
F(F(2)=6 means F(3)=6
F(F(3)=9 means F(6)=9
That imposes F(4)=7 and F(5)=8
F(F(4)=12 means F(7)=12
F(F(5)=15 means F(8)=15
F(F(6)=18 means F(9)=18
F(F(7)=21 means F(12)=21
F(F(8)=24 means F(15)=24
Than imposes F(13)=22 and F(14)=23

These such theories of wonders that matchs with physics is really auspicious within the interconnection of the fictional magical world to sense making practical world. Awesome right!

The gold came from taxing industries which produced goods and services. The country saw a net decrease in standard of living but a net increase in GDP due to government spending.

Bruh, can't y'all just put the baby in the bag and get like, 2 or 3 babies? Then the Tarski guy can take the other two away, and everything would be fine! z

I expected this to be a brief explanation of the Banach-Tarski Paradox, the moment I realized this isn't, my disappointment is immesurable and my day is ruined

What s funny is that if you do use the square root of 3 and truncate the result to a whole number then you get the exact same result as the riddles answer

It is very funny seeing her just straight up drop the baby as soon as she goes to bed. Problem was almost solved right there and then.

OMG finally Banach-Tarski I was just talking to my friends about how we can just clone stuff and it totally makes sense mathematically

Thought it was a hack, then thought it was a fairytale animation. It turned out to be functions chasing me to the internet
