A webcomic based on FIRST!

I am guessing you do not know what a perfect number is.
Basically to calculate 2^p-1(2^p-1)=a Perfect Number. Where p= a Mersenne number that is prime (Info: Mersenne numbers are calculated by 2^p-1. So 2, a prime number, inserted into that equation would look like 2⁽²⁾-1=3 Written as: M₂ and M₂=3)
.... ok moving on
now if we insert M₂ which equals 3; into 2^p-1(2^p-1) as 2^(3)-1(2⁽³⁾-1)=28. 28 is a perfect number.... hmm yes...

Anyone want to check this?
Whew...
[edit] I noticed several errors but they are fixed now. [/edit] I wrote 90% of this in quick post XD.

A perfect number is an integer that is exactly equal to the sum of its proper divisors; that is, it is equal to the sum of all those integers that divide it without leaving a remainder, excluding the number itself.

For example, the proper divisors of 6 are 1, 2, and 3; and 6 = 1 + 2 + 3.

For another example, the proper divisors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, and 14; and 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14.

An integer that exceeds the sum of its proper divisors is called "excessive" (or "abundant"). One example is 12, whose proper divisors are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.

An integer that is less than the sum of its proper divisors is called "deficient". One example is 10, whose proper divisors are 1, 2, and 5.

Perfect integers occur much less frequently than excessive or deficient integers. The ones mentioned in my earlier post are the only examples less than 100,000,000.

I like the comic.
I like the characters, they make me smile.
I like the way the series progesses and can't wait to see what happens with the sponsor.
The twin sisters crack me up.

Way to go!

That was great! I can't wait to see more!

I'm really glad to see the support of other FIRSTers! Someohow we've made it into the low 200's on buzzcomix.net, I think around 214 last I checked. (When it was at 222, I was like 'Tigertrons from Tunkhahoohaasomethingconfusing Pennsylvania!' and my friend hit me for being such a loser). Next thing you know we'll make it to the top 100! Watch out world, FIRST is going to become mainstream xD
