program turns out to work, then in some sense, the integers are actually a polynomial ring in disguise. But what "turns out to work" means here is unclear; supplying a proof of the Riemann hypothesis would count though (In my opinion, the 
![\[ 1 \le 4 < 2 \le 5 \ll 3 \le 6. \]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/2/a/a/2aad708b7a88ffce7b2576b26a894ac025b8a764.png)
:
hard problems everyday, and you should try for them for exactly 
hours on average. Changing the daily number of problems from 
for any 
produces very bad effects, of course. (I mean isn't this question totally nonsense ?)
