Lojban is supposed to be a logical language, so why not practice translating some common mathematical statements, or algorithms

Additional challenge: Don't use mekso with VUhU. Or use them, if you prefer the challenge of wrangling with mekso grammar...

Fermat's Last Theorem

(The statement, not the proof, of course!)

"No three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than two."

Solution by la zipcpi

Euclid's Algorithm for Greatest Common Divisor

function gcd(a, b)
    if b = 0
       return a
    else
       return gcd(b, a mod b)

Also try a non-recursive version, but we'd probably need a new brivla for while-loop, and {tu'e...tu'u} in NU
