@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaAnother day, another math problem. Was browsing the Internet and ran across one of those math social media posts that asked to solve `8^x 2^x = 30` and decided to go all the way down the rabbit hole on the solution. Also learned a bit about spacing in math mode for LaTeX as well...

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaNerd sniped myself this time: after getting sniped yesterday with showing that for primes `p >= 5` that `24 | p^2 - 1`, I decided to look at primes `p, q` where `p, q >= 5` and see if `24 | p^2 - q^2`.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaRelaxing at home and got nerd sniped again via YouTube. Looked interesting enough to give it a shot though the thumbnail was more than a bit misleading as they used `n` instead of `x` which has certain connotations associated with it.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaYay, got nerd sniped with another math problem. I made it a smidge more difficult than it should've been, but I'm happy that I got the correct answer eventually.
The problem: Given `1 / tan(x) = tan(1 / x)`, solve for `x`.
