Let A be an affine plane over a radically integral local field F with residual characteristic p.
Solution
Answer: APRILFOOLSJOKE
This is an intentional joke problem (Project Euler Problem 836, released on April Fools’ Day). The mathematical content is irrelevant.
The instruction says:
“Give as your answer the concatenation of the first letters of each bolded word.”
Extract the first letters of the bolded words:
- affine plane → A P
- radically integral local field → R I L F
- open oriented line section → O O L S
- jacobian → J
- orthogonal kernel embedding → O K E
Concatenating:
APRILFOOLSJOKE
