Piss with Math

This is not really my blog. But I have write access. So here's something new. Re-post from google-plus

new math magic script. below

http://ansistego.sf.net/series.py << new math magic script. I was inspired to look at sums of digits in powers of 2 by a shroom trip and I found it spelling 512's, not adding up to them, printing them, and got intrigued enough to investigate it in other bases, which had some wild results, so I made this script to do this on series automagically. There is probably a faster way than how I do it; if you do a number longer than ten or twenty digits, uh, it will probably get stuck. Read on

OK here it is again. There were some bugs in http://ansistego.sf.net/series.py that mangled the output if there were too many spaces in the input so here is a better one using more powers of 2 as a seed. Wow is this amazing stuff

512 is one of the first powers of two you can't uniquely represent by
adding up their digits this way. 487 is a microprocessor we use on
Earth. So it's just for your approval

Just tried powers of 3. Heck try it yourself OK. With some other
number series. But it's working amazing with powers. Look at this.

High:

1 3 9 9 9 9 18 18 18 27 27 27 18 27 45 36 27 27 45
36 45 27 45 54 54 63 63

That's just the sums of the digits in powers of 3. Even wacky ones
like 847288609443. Which apparently adds up to 63 same as
2541865828329. And of course the sums of the digits of each of those
are 9. Look at the low set:

1 3 9 5 7 1 4 2 4 1 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 2 1 1

All those huge powers of 3 can have their digits added/subtracted in
various combinations to reach either 1 or 2, no lower no higher.
Fascinating

So let's process the high set. It will be all nines
