The word for the Thursday Prompt last week was thirty. I guess thirty is interesting for being the smallest number with three distinct prime factors; it is a little special in that it is both the sum of a positive number and its square (5) and a positive number and its cube (3). Aside from two, thirty is the smallest number that has this property. (If we lift the restriction to positives, six joins the club as does, of course, zero.)
But I'm not much of a number theorist; I'm a combinatorialist. So I went with that sort of counting problem with a bit of extra complications, all over a hearty breakfast. Chewing's for mammals.
Culvert's is a running joke in my family due to the unintentionally added T. How many of you have been to Culver's?

Hauke, I figure you might've been told this by now but if you haven't, I was the gifter assigned to write your Christmas Mystery Tale for the Thursday Prompt. If you'd enjoy my writing it now, I still have the outline and the idea written down, and have been sparkplugging the idea over the last few days.
If that's agreeable to you, I'd like to start writing 'Ventral Equinox At Basilisk Station (Coldsoak)' later today, when I go to the library branch near my home that I've been frequenting since last November two or three weekday nights a week (they're open 'til 8:30pm from Monday to Friday).
I'll check back every now and then before I head out, no more than six hours from now (6:00pm EST, if I'm aiming right). I won't begin unless you're comfortable with it; no matter what my troubles were I feel I did you an unkindness and I'd like to make it right. Make a good out of what might've remained a bad, even if it's six weeks on a delay line now.

Heck, I was just about to head out on my grocery errand, to take care of it 'afore I get back, then head out to the library. I'd love to get it started there tonight. If you don't recognize the name from my title (Basilisk Station) look up the Honor Harrrington series by David Weber. I knew your fursona or one of them is a Basilisk, thus where I began my sparkplugging (and I've never written a sci-fi space opera tale about Christmas). <3
Thank you again, goodbean fren!
