I've followed your postings off and on for several years. I, too, am
an amateur interested in the factoring problem, and probably more
willing than most to give you the benefit of the doubt. I suspect that
there is a very fast factoring algorithm just waiting to be discovered,
and it's likely it might come from a completely unexpected direction.
I don't see any compelling reason why it might not be discovered by an
amateur such as your or me. I've pondered this problem since my high
school days in 1960 but haven't accomplished anything more exciting
that re-inventing Pollard's rho before I knew of it's existence. But,
fool that I am, I keep studying and trying new approaches.
But I have to ask one question. As I recall, I think I asked you this
question a year or two ago and didn't get an answer. The question is
simply this: Could you take a reasonably small number, say 8 or 10
digits, and DEMONSTRATE, step by step how your method would be applied
to factoring that number. Can I see how you use it to factor an easy
number like 50,985,511 for example?
