Do you have issues with 84? Do you find 13 unusually appealing? Does -32 get your goat? Do you refuse to believe 5 is a number at all? And so on and so forth.

Ricky T fails to keep it real. Or even rational.

― mark s, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

All those numbers look rational to me, mark.

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes but all that is rational is not those numbers, Trace: hence my point stands (and also I = Aragorn of the Day).

42 is of course a classic number as is 2 as in the number of records in a double lp. 1 SuXoRs but is essential. 3 blows the llamas big floppy donkey dick and I am quite partial to 9 myself due to many years of having that plastered on my back while playing hockey. Depending on the relational height of your significant other 69 can be quite classic as well.

If you're Aragorn, I'm Glorfindel. I ride in and save your ass from destruction. ;-)

Forza Constants! Integers merda.

64 was the first square number to impress me.

And I only like hip numbers.

Until I was about 10 I considered 4 to be the perfect number and dark blue to be the perfect colour. Then I fell in love with 7 and black. I also flirted with 3 and pink. Now I love all of the above plus 27, 42, 49 & 84.

I still think 4 is perfect but recogise that 7, in particular, and 3 are both quite supreme.

As my birthday is the 22nd of the 11th, 22 and 11 are both very meaningful, especially 11, being odd (odd is VERY good) and being prime (prime is VERY, VERY good).

8 is very problematic. My brother liked 8, green and dogs. I liked 4, blue, and cats. Recently I have started to feel all right about green, 8 and dogs (in that order). 8 might be an okay number. Maybe.

I used to like Thursday because I was born on a Thursday, I then liked (and still like) Wednesday and Saturday, and even Friday. Now Tuesday is feeling special.

I think I would like to have clone-of-me-daughters called Seven & Tuesday.

49 might be the best number because it is ODD, a MULTIPLE of SEVEN, it CONTAINS a FOUR and IT LOOKS LIKE A PRIME.

Of course it doesn't look like a prime. As any fule knows numbers where the digits add up to 13 are never prime.

― Pete, Monday, 17 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

it's an early (not-so-impressive) square, so obviously not prime.

You people are all like that bloke in Pi.

― ogden, Monday, 17 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

blimey don't get me started on pi!!

(mark s = man who gave pi a bad review on grounds of weak nonsensical ignorant "mathematical" content)

patterns indeed: DOES HE NOT UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF A TRANSCENDENTAL!?

― mark s, Monday, 17 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh thank god Mark S. i so hated that film. great soundtrack, good visuals, absolute KNOB of a plot/dialog/narrative. it was like a fifth former trying to do an impression of umberto eco and making themselves look like an utter arse. shit shit shit, fuck off nasty words, leave me alone, wail. the pain of listening to the words made spoiled the actually quite good-looking direction.

PLUS PLUS PLUS, how do you distinguish (in writing/posting) between Pi (pron PY, the number) and Pi (pron PEE, 33% of Pikachu's vocab). Pi-ka-pi?

― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 17 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i know that masonic boom has issues with 22. i wonder if she still sees them wherever she goes.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 17 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

umm, transcendental numbers can have patterns in their digits, you know. for instance

0.110001... = 10^{-1} + 10^{-2} + 10^{-6} + ... + 10^{-n!} + ...

obviously it is v unlikely that pi, for instance, has patterns. but we can't be sure...

― toby, Monday, 17 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Untrue! Pi has been proved by science (real science!) to have no repetitions. How? There's some crazy-ass incredibly long difficult formula which can calculate the nth digit of pi without finding all the prior ones. As I recall, this formula has been prooved to be nonrepitous. Alternately, I may have heard about them still trying to prove this formula anything in particular.

― Sterling Clover, Tuesday, 18 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

mmmm Pi . . .*drool*

― bnw, Tuesday, 18 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Patterns are very different to repetitions, after all in pi all the digits occur... The pattern you show above is one where the number of zeroes between the ones are predictable and follow a meta-pattern (ie one which we can extrapolate from using number theory), but discrete sections do not repeat - hence not strictly a repetition.

― Pete, Tuesday, 18 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I never said 49 WAS a prime, I said it LOOKS LIKE a prime. Which it does. Everyone knows it's not, but it still LOOKS LIKE one.
