    Composite number $n$ with most $k \le n$ such that $n \mid \binom nk$

    This problem arised in a local forum, proposed by a user named zxt.
    Let $f(n)$ be the number of nonnegative integer $k$ not greater than $n$ such that $n \mid \binom{n}{k}$. If for each positive integer $t<m$, we have $f(t)<f(m)$, then we say $m$ is a Weiming number. Prove that there are infinitely many composite...

    Is there a natural metric on the space of proofs of a fixed proposition that cap...

    Background
    By the Curry–Howard correspondence, a proof of $A \to B$ is a term $p : A \to B$ in a suitable type theory. For a fixed pair of propositions $(A, B)$, there may be many distinct proof terms — corresponding to different proof strategies.
    For example, the infinitude of primes has proofs via:...

    Proving the spectrum of the Young-Jucys-Murphy elements by formal computation in...

    This is really a followup to Why are Jucys-Murphy elements' eigenvalues whole numbers? , specifically to Igor Makhlin's beautiful answer. I'm trying to make it even more beautiful by getting rid of the eigenvalues and turn it into a sequence of algebraic...

    Is the set of integers of the form $a/(b+c)+b/(a+c)+c/(a+b)$ computable?

    The starting point of this question is the observation that the smallest positive integers $a,b,c$ satisfying
    $$\frac{a}{b+c} + \frac{b}{a+c} + \frac{c}{a+b} = 4$$
    are absurdly high, namely $$(154476802108746166441951315019919837485664325669565431700026634898253202035277999,$$ $$36875131794129999827197811565225474825492979968971970996283137471637224634055579,$$ $$43736126779286972578612526023713901528165375581...
