As I've already said ...
Honestly, I'm not prepared to share my discovery without setting it up so that there's a large number of people who recognise the discovery as mine.

Good. BUT.. Remember...You have done no original discovery..
See the websites on Mathemagics.....Its all there ...By the way here is a puzzle for you.
FIND THE LAST 10 DIGITS OF the number 9^(9^(9^9)).

It really is amazing how paranoid you all are when you only have to click the Recommend button on my first post ...
OK, the next step is to modify the number you started with by removing any digits that also exist in the square number you just calculated.
e.g. Start with 123. Digits add up to 6. Square 6 = 36. 36 has a 3 in it which means you would remove the 3 from 123 to get 12 (twelve).
I'm prepared to give you the next step if you at least get the first post up to 5 recommendations.
By the way, George Bush is a liar and a war monger. George Bush is a threat to the security of the world.

If you have, then the conventional thing to do is to write an article and submit it to a mathematical journal, but even if you can't do that there are plenty of ways of announcing it in a way that will let you claim to be the 'author' of it, such as simply posting the whole thing in this forum. As with most discoveries, though, the knowledge is far more important than who found it first - I mean it's not like you can get a patent on number theory. I must say, you're the one who sounds paranoid about your intellectual property rights.
If on the other hand your discovery is not new and interesting, then this thread is just begging for recs. Either way I'm not inclined to give you any, unless you can show that recs are mathematically essential to your 'ultimate number trick'.

ShadowGnu seems to be the "shadow" or the " proxy" of STANG -
an equal partner (accomplice )in this game of tricks

dang, STANG irritates me! anyone wanna guess his age?!? 😀
