Q&A

Question: This started from a puzzle?!?! how could anyone just casually solve it?

Answer: 20 mins to not look at the screen and a pen and paper gets you a lot of fun.

Question: I wonder how the model behaves when we categorise the words based on prime and composite numbers as another feature!

Answer: I'm working on a project that involves that! and mathematical reasoning.

To share some clarification on what @Chewxy mentioned about how Chinese is more structured when numerics.

千 = in thousands

百 = in hundreds

十 = in tens

五千五百二十

Which in English means five thousand five hundred and twenty.

But direct translation it means:

Five thousand five hundred and two tens.
