P-adic number, an Uncommon card
In number theory, given a prime number p, the p-adic numbers form an extension of the rational numbers that is distinct from the real numbers, though with some similar properties, p-adic numbers can be written in a form similar to decimals, but with digits based on a prime number p rather than ten, and extending to…

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- For example, comparing the expansion of the rational number 1/5 in base 3 versus the 3-adic expansion, 1 5 = 0.
- 0121 ¯ = 0 ⋅ 3 0 + 0 ⋅ 3 − 1 + 1 ⋅ 3 − 2 + 2 ⋅ 3 − 3 + ⋯ 1 5 = 1210 ¯ 2 = ⋯ + 2 ⋅ 3 3 + 1 ⋅ 3 2 + 0 ⋅ 3 1 + 2 ⋅ 3 0. Formally, given a prime number p, a p-adic number can be defined as a series s = ∑ i = k ∞ a i p i = a k p k + a k + 1 p k + 1 + a k + 2 p k + 2 + ⋯ where k is an integer, and each a i is an integer such that
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The P-adic number article was read about 120,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get P-adic number
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.
