Prime Perfect Powers?

Here is a challenge for you. Try to think of a single perfect power (square, cube, fourth, ...nth) [other than 1] that is prime.

zero

Primenumbers is defined by 1 and above.

LP, Rakib clearly said that:

and 74 is quite beyond that. So yes, you are correct.

ummm by definition a power can't be a prime.

a prime is divided only by 1 and itself

a power violates that rule by definition.

psishock, you would have a great time at the pouet bbs; you can post silly images in threads there at any time.

RWP says "other than 1"

0 is not a prime number.

I know.

Psishock, that is funny! :lol:
As for the -47 thing, hmm, how do you get that, LPChip? -47 being a perfect power implies that 47 is a perfect [odd] power (as even powers produce imaginary numbers when negative).

I'm just being weird there, like you are

I don't know anything about prime numbers, and I don't want to know about them either :lol:

:lol: That is a good one, LPChip. All that you probably know about prime numbers is that:
1. They have only two factors: 1 and themselves
2. They can make arranging songs an extremely lengthy process (on the order of hours for some to days for extremely long ones (such as Daisy's Fragrance Salon) (3,588 patterns long :lol:) (I think that I even impressed myself on that one :lol:) (the days part, as my fingers actually missed? the I! :lol:).
