I don't understand, its factors are 101 and 109, both are more than 100.
That's funny. "100" was a stand-in for sqrt(11009), I didn't anticipate that all factors would actually be above 100.
Well, you check if it's a multiple of every prime below sqrt(11009) ~= 105.
Though if you suspect he's intentionally chosen a tricky number, a product of two large primes, you can look at the square numbers larger than 11009. In this case 11025 = 105^2, and 11025-11009 = 16 = 4^2, so 11009 = 105^2 - 4^2 = (105+4)(105-4) = 109×101
While I'd rather not test this empirically, I think I'm feeling pretty motivated to do this, and yet I can't. I'd really like to solve this issue without resorting to hiring a professional assassin on myself.
That poem was amazing.
How does a person factorize 11,009 in their head?
You guys will probably find this Slate Star Codex post interesting:

Scott summarizes the Predictive Processing theory, explains it in a very accessible way (no math required), and uses it to explain a whole bunch of mental phenomena (attention, imagination, motor behavior, autism, schizophrenia, etc.)
Can someone ELI5/TLDR this paper for me, explain in a way more accessible to a non-technical person?
- How does backprop work if the information can't flow backwards?
- In Scotts post, he says ...
Looks amazing!
I'd love to buy an ebook version though. Or even better - an audiobook.
