DO A TOP 10 4 2010

Music is math.. so do the math…”10 is the smallest noncototient<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noncototient>…

In mathematics, a noncototient is a positive integer n that cannot be expressed as the difference between a positive integer m and the number of coprime<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprime> integers below it….

That is, m − φ(m) = n, where φ stands for Euler’s totient function<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_totient_function>

has no solution for m.”

…gee whiz, that’s 2 bad.
