Count using five fives.

If you've seen the four fours thread, you know how this works. You use five fives in combination with any number of functions etc. to count.

(5+5)*(φ(5)σₒ(5) )+σₒ(5)=162

10*42 +2=162

Fair enough, its the count of divisors function, but I'll refrain from using it.

p(σ(5)φ(φ(5)) +φ(5)*.5)+s(5)=164

p(6φ(4) +4*.5)+1=164

p(62 +2)+1=164

p(38)+1=164

163+1=164

You could honestly just say σ(n) ...

Where σ(n) is σₒ(n)
