Hello, guys! In my 45-minute talk, I’ll discuss certain theorems and corollaries and proofs that can help us determine whether or not a curve is a parabola. But my main focus is on working with higher degree 2 and 3 equations. For example, if $y = x^2$ is our...

We looked at three puzzles, and chose Problem 346. After some experiments, we conjectured that the only square in the list is 9, and tried expressing numbers like $88889$ in several different ways, starting from $999=10^4-1$.
