How closed-form conjectures are made? Yes, the paper is "Some Remarkable Properties of Sinc and Related Integrals" by David and Jonathan Borwein. |

How long can this string of digits be extended? An idea to get past the $b$ lower bound - suppose there are $k$ different $n$-digit numbers, $n_1,n_2,\dots,n_k$, with the stated property. Look at the values of $b \cdot n_i \mod (n + 1)$ and try to argue that if $k$ is large enough, there must be an $i$ such that $b \cdot n_i \mod (n+1) = (n+1)-m$ for $m = 0,1,2,\dots,b-1$. If we take $n = b$, that reduces to showing that not all the numbers have $b\cdot n_i = 1 \mod (b+1)$. |

On mentioning recommenders' names in cover letter for postdoctoral applications This doesn't come across at all from the applicant side of the MathJobs setup. If what you're saying is true, why even ask for a mandatory cover letter at all? |

On mentioning recommenders' names in cover letter for postdoctoral applications That's what I did too, except I had longer (short paragraph) description for each of research and teaching. |

Maintaining boundary of unit circle arrangement If we're allowed four crossings, thin rectangles arranged in a square grid pattern gives the $\Omega(n^2)$ lower bound, right? |

Untangling entwined rigid chains in 3-space Yes, I meant the plane containing the spiral, perpendicular to the axis. |
