A New Problem!?

So this blog has turned into an textbook example of a failed blog.  It is a boring topic.  It is poorly executed for the lack of a way to include a lot of equations.   It is intended for like-minded math hobbyists who wish to tackle challenging, useful math problem that seem solvable a little below the level of Fermat's last theorem or the Poincare conjecture. The problem is such a person is extremely rare and unlikely to find this place.  I stopped adding anything over a year ago.

Nonetheless, I continue to check the stats.  This is last week.



Twenty-one views from UAE and twenty-one from Russia.  The single view from United States is mine.

While the visitor is likely a bot crawling the internet that just stops at 21 views if it has not found anything interesting, it is curious.  Could it be a world traveler killing time in an airport?  Why 21?  Coincidence? I typically see three or four views a month.  A spike really stands out as something different.

So, my conjecture based on an abundance of time and endless optimism is that it is a message and is a mathematical puzzle for me to solve from some like-minded individual who travels to exotic places.  I shall call this person Black Jack.  I shall further conjecture that it is a code, like the tap code, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_code

"21" in tap code would be "f".  So far the message is "ff".  That is not a recognizable message.  Either I missed the first part of the message or there is more to the puzzle.   I shall continue to monitor the stats and await more clues.  Carry on Black Jack.  I am listening.
