Guy's "strong law of small numbers" states that there aren't enough small numbers to meet the many demands made of them. Guy (1988) also gives several interesting and ...

SNTP(n) is the smallest prime such that p#-1, p#, or p#+1 is divisible by n, where p# is the primorial of p. Ashbacher (1996) shows that SNTP(n) only exists 1. If there are ...

Let A be some attribute (e.g., possible, present, perfect, etc.). If all is A, then the non-A must also be A. For example, "All is possible, the impossible too," and "Nothing ...
