| Jan 23, 2011 at 2:10 | comment | added | darij grinberg | I fear that (1) being asked over and over doesn't make a boring question interesting, and (2) a question being boring doesn't make its opposite question interesting. (But please don't try stating and proving these two claims rigorously, because this will trigger the same paradox as the original post: If we had a strict mathematical definition of "interesting" (which is what Sonia calls 'valid'), then the smallest non-interesting object would become interesting.) | |

| Jan 28, 2010 at 18:36 | comment | added | aorq | That does explain the comment history. Thanks. | |
| Jan 28, 2010 at 18:06 | comment | added | Sonia Balagopalan | @Charles Roque: Scott posted his comment when this question was rather stupidly named "Continuing a finite sequence." I just changed it to the current title today. Orthogonally, it's interesting how a title-change translates into interest in a question terms of views and votes. (I got 3 upvotes within a couple of hours.) | |
| Jan 28, 2010 at 16:31 | comment | added | aorq | @Scott: wait, wouldn't an affirmative answer to this question be more like starving people who come asking us to continue a sequence? | |
