comment Why isn't $\mathbb Z [\sqrt{pq}]$ a factorial domain
I don't know if this works, but note that $pq=\sqrt{pq}\sqrt{pq}$, so if you can prove $p$, $q$, and $\sqrt{pq}$ are all irreducible, you win.

comment Generalized multiplicative functions
The reduction to the case $f(1)=1$ still works, but you don't get any restriction on the value at prime powers. I don't know if anyone has looked at the set of functions with this property.

@Patrick, yes, thanks, I'll edit.

comment Did H. Lebesgue claim “1 is prime” in 1899? Source?
The question also came up in some comments at mathoverflow.net/questions/30735/… though we didn't cover any new ground. Maybe Franz Lemmermeyer has looked into it more deeply in the meantime.

comment Diophantine special problem
A little more information, please. How do you know there is an absolute constant $C$ such that $x^2+D=kp^n$ has at most $C$ solutions? How do you know $x^2+119=15\cdot2^n$ has only six solutions? And what is great and special about these problems?

That's great, if you're good at remembering formulas. Also, you still have to figure out what $m(3\pi/4)$ is.

comment Existence of a symmetric matrix $A$ such that $XA=Y$.
I'd think there'd be a way to build $B$ (or $A$, as in the title) one row/column at a time. That is, you can make the first row of $B$ so its product with $X$ gives you the first entry of $Y$. That determines the first column of $B$, but can still fill out the rest of the second row of $B$ to get the second entry in $Y$ correct, etc., etc. Well, some care in the order in which you fill in the rows/columns may be needed.
