Have you tried jogging/running? Kakama mentioned cycling, and swimming is also good if pools are something available in your area. Weight training is always an option as well.

Yesterday I stayed up late trying to come up with the formula for tetrahedral numbers (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_number).
The one for triangle and square pyramidal numbers was easy, but, damn, I've covered like 4 pages with ink and still haven't come up with much.
I stayed up to like half past 11pm doing math that's not even homework. How nerdy is that, lol.

Can't you just extend the strategy you used for triangular numbers? It's effectively the same formula with a little bit of stuff added.

Different subject, I just watching episode 1 of the Rizzoli & Isles TV show. I realize that Materusz had to be working with the first Game for quite some time. The Office Room where Rizzoli is exactly the same as the style in season 1.
Interesting way to put your self to Sleep, sometime I take Files of cretin sounds I remember trying to pieces what Movie scene I heard it from. Other time I use the process of me starting to fall asleep, then I pretend I'm in an Alternate Reality of a World made in my design, which is base off one of my stories. If I'm lucky I dream about it from doing that System

Yeah, I just can't find a way to put it nicely, preferably using summation.
EDIT: And this stuff is way over my level, I'm flippin' 15 for God's sake

Age never stops genius
Can I ask what inspired you to do all the work though? XD Were you thoroughly bored or thoroughly interested?

By 17 Ramanujan was doing independent research in number theory. If you really think trying to independently derive the formula for tetrahedral numbers is a valuable use of your time, then your level is however high you want it to be.

I agree with Taalit here. Age isn't a limit, intelligence and interest are.

Exactly.
Though, there are cases where age
is a limit.

Is this some kind of joke about pedophiles? Or is my mind just tuned to think of that whenever you say anything
