Hello,

Providing the factorization of a particular number (whose factorization is

the factorization of that number and that you had a method for finding it. 

of course agreed.

Of course, it doesn't say anything about this method -- whether it is a 
general one or whether you were able to find the factors based on graph of 
temperature at the top of Elbrus :-)

Right, giving an example doesn't proof the method. That's what I was 
talking about. But it seems some participants of the list don't 
understand how to proof something in mathematics and take an example as 
a proof for a method.
