Anybody else quirky about numbers?

[moshquerade]

Not sure what it is you call someone that likes to note numbers, but today was kinda fun to write out over and over on all my paperwork.

1-11-11

Anyone else notice???

 

[busydude]

Apparently, yes.

Doggiedog just noticed 4 more 1's that you.

Well that's just g8, 1-11-11, had no matches when I searched :sneaky:

Definately a repost, and 01/11/2011 isn't really that fun of a number. But, I am quirky about numbers. I bet over 30% of the time that I look at the clock at home it is exactly 12:34. Usually am, but sometimes pm. I just have a knack for wondering if it is bedtime at exactly 12:34.

your doing it wrong.

It was the 11/1/11

Day -> Month -> Year

Makes much more sense

HOLY CRAP I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU"RE THE 50th PERSON TO POINT THAT OUT TO ME TODAY

March 8, 1989 at 3:00am, I was working in a welding shop when we had an accident. A heavy piece of equipment turned over and killed a man. The engineers later estimated that the piece of metal weighed around 7 tons.

The job number of the part was 38922
The accident was March 8, 1989 at 3:00am - 389

I'am not sure where the 22 falls in with all of that. But it just seemed like his time to go.

Make me happy, and tell me I'm the 111 person to point it out to you.

 

[alrocky]

Is it too early to post about Nov 11th?

 

[Sea Moose]

Make me happy, and tell me I'm the 111 person to point it out to you.

Mosh,
You are the one hundred and eleventh person to tell me that yesterday was 11/1/11

thank you my prince.

 

[puffff]

i'm always writing dates in YYYYMMDD format, so 20110111 isnt that special.

I once tried to point out to my math instructor a neat thing I noticed with squares:

1-1
2-4
3-9
4-16
5-25
6-36
7-49
8-64
9-81

Basically, the sum of any two base numbers (1+2=3) is also the difference between the squares of those numbers (4-1=3).

I wasn't very good at explaining it, so he didn't get it.

Numbers are fun.

today the car rolled into 098098, so yeah, I notice these things. We get to do the 99999 thing soon.

Shit. I had a turn over too: 188,888.

It only works if both the numbers are consecutive. For example: 1+3=4/9-1=8

The general equation, considering x and y are +ve integers, can be represented as:

x+y=z/x^2-y^2=z(x-y)

x,y>0
x>y

Thread was valid 2000 years ago, not so much yesterday.

Maybe that's why I couldn't properly explain it to him; I failed to mention the consecutive part...

Do you say:

It's January 11th

or

It's the 11th of January



1-11-11 makes more sense by the way we speak. Then again 3$ makes more sense by the way we speak.
