The Number Mysteries

I finally got the Math book I had ordered. It is an interesting analysis of the world of numbers. The very first chapter deals in Prime numbers and asks as to why David Beckham chose a jersey with number 23 on it, at Real Madrid. The reason? You guessed it; 23 is Prime. The top players in Real Madrid have Prime numbers on their jerseys. The book is rightly recommended for ages 1 - 101:-) The book has a problem offered at the end of each chapter. A problem that has eluded a solution to mathematicians the world over. As if someone reading this book will find it. Well, you never know:-)

I went out for a run with the Aarey group with all the intentions of doing a 21K but I had to cut it short because I just could not work out a pace. I hope I can recover enough to do it tomorrow. The group of runners was just a few because many are on tour. Srinivas is in Chennai, Amit in France, Madhu in Himachal and Roshni in Pedong. I do hope the group grows in strength as the build up to the Mumbai Marathon gains excitement. I am sure the article in the Hindustan Times on our group will draw attention from the running fraternity in Mumbai. There have already been a few curious queries from runners that joined our group on RFL recently. I felt disappointment at the end of the run. But then, I have been so since the last few weeks.
