    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_fourth_problem

    In mathematics, Hilbert's fourth problem in the 1900 list of Hilbert's problems is a foundational question in geometry.In one statement derived from the original, it was to find — up to an isomorphism — all geometries that have an axiomatic system of the classical geometry (Euclidean, hyperbolic and elliptic), with those axioms of congruence that involve the concept of the angle dropped ...

    Problems 1, 2, 5, 6, [a] 9, 11, 12, 15, and 22 have solutions that have partial acceptance, but there exists some controversy as to whether they resolve the problems. That leaves 8 (the Riemann hypothesis), 13 and 16 [b] unresolved. Problems 4 and 23 are considered as too vague to ever be described as solved; the withdrawn 24 would also be in ...

    MS. Kennicott 3, created in 1299. Shows the beginning of Numbers with its first word illustrated with calligraphy: וידבר ‎ Way-ḏabbêr, "And He spoke…" Most commentators divide Numbers into three sections based on locale (Mount Sinai, Kadesh-Barnea and the plains of Moab), linked by two travel sections; [7] an alternative is to see it as structured around the two generations of ...

    (6) The result is 5 heqat. Then reckon what you need for a des-jug of beer like the beer called 1/2 1/4 malt-date beer (7) The result is 1/2 of the heqat measure needed for des-jug of beer made from Upper-Egyptian grain. (8) Calculate 1/2 of 5 heqat, the result will be 2 1/2 (9) Take this 2 1/2 four times (10) The result is 10. Then you say to him:

    Prisoner 2 opens drawers 2, 4, and 8 in this order. In the last drawer they find their own number, 2. Prisoner 3 opens drawers 3 and 6, where they find their own number. Prisoner 4 opens drawers 4, 8, and 2, where they find their own number. This is the same cycle that was encountered by prisoner 2 and will be encountered by prisoner 8.
