I used several implementations in different languages to calculate and compare. The good thing: I get consistent results with small error rates. (Java same result as Python) The bad thing: The last three digits are varying. At some point (~85000000 iterations) the value of the answer does not change...

I figured out, what python means with "and" and "or". I took the two recursive functions and transformed them into non-recursive functions. I found an expression, that represents the (N(b*4)*b)/D(b*4) as a sum. I found an expression, that represents the sum DIRECT. So I just have...

I looked at these 5 numbers and they start all with 00. If you make an international phone call from Germany to any other country, you would dial 00 and then the country code. (Dunno if that works for other countries.) I looked the countries up, but for the third I can't find a country. So I think I...
