Title of Talk | Which Gender is Happier in the United States? What About Other Countries? |
Abstract | For any number, if the sum of the squares of the digits is performed and then repeated, there are two possible outcomes. The process eventually terminates at 1 or goes into an infinite cycle. If the process terminates at 1, then the original number is said to be “happy.” For any word, if the letter assignments a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 and so on are done, then the word can be assigned a number. If the word is a name and the associated number is “happy,” then the name is said to be a “happy name.” In this presentation, the 100 most common male and female names in several countries are examined to determine which gender is “happier.” |
