Happy Birthday Erik!

Yep! It's Erik's birthday today! I don't want to let the cat out of the bag, so if you want to know how old he is, you'll have to put together the following math riddle:

 

Erik's age is the Nth Prime Number...

where N is the Gth Prime Number...

where G is sqrt((10^2) - (((4 factorial) + (log 10)) * 3))

odirtyredo received 10 hours of free Chess Mentor by being the first to message me with the correct response. Congrats!

 

Don't forget to drop him a message or leave him a note or a trophy. Make sure he feels all the love today.

i'll use the original lyrics instead, but I still wish you a happy birthday.

Happy Birth(yester)day! If I only understood the clues, I would be able use them to indicate how long ago I had  math class. I remember it was calculus and analytical geometry. At least, without counting statistics, which I had later, as real math. Who Keres, anyway? Best wishes in your future.

Now that Phobetor has spelt it out as 31 years as I hinted [see my post below: Sylvia Plath died at 31, in Arundhati Roy's novel - re the character Ammu - "She was 31. A viable-diable age"]; so:

Erik is a member of a group here comprised of people whose age is 35 or more! Not done :)
Or is running chess.com is ageing him too fast - making him feel 35+ ? ;)
