Goldbach's conjecture quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Goldbach's conjecture card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
It states that every even ______ number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers.
Answer
natural. It states that every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers. From the Goldbach's conjecture article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Dynamic programming. Dynamic programming 79 · Public rhetoric 74 · Goldbach's conjecture 71 · Enkidu 68 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Goldbach's conjecture. Goldbach's conjecture 210,000 · Cartographic generalization 7,700 · Public rhetoric 1,400 · Rovshan Abdullaoglu 970 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It states that every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers.
- The conjecture has been shown to hold for all natural numbers less than 4×1018, but remains unproven despite considerable effort.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Goldbach's conjecture article was read about 210,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 63: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
How to get Goldbach's conjecture
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
