Silly little numbers for today FYI

    Rather distracted in work due to the good weather and my mind started to think of numbers (Lord knows why) and I realised that if you add the the numbers of today's date - 02~05~2012 - you get 12 as in this is 2012!! i.e 2+5+2+0+1+2=12!

    Now isn't that a bit of silly time wasting ~ all of two minutes of my life never to be had again through thinking and posting. Enjoy the day folks. Its a beaut here in the Sunny South east.

    I wasn't aware fucks was a valid unit of measurement.

    Yeah.....I remember when I was at the hedge school in old God's time the teacher used send the carrier pigeon home with the report which always said 'Must try harder'. Some things never change.....(sighs in sadness):confused:

    1634587141488515712882175158841417854361 is the coolest number.



    why? you ask.

    because it is palindromic.

    but so its its binary representation!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,254 ✭✭✭bonzodog2


    1729 (decimal !!) is the smallest integer that is the sum of two cubes in two different ways. I'll leave this as a challenge for the interested reader !

    1 and 12 is one way.

    Thank you, Sunflower, for your kind words. Your nom de plume is most apt with your thoughtfulness. I am grateful that at least someone will will indulge me my levity on this rare of rare spring/summer like days!:cool:

    If:
    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

    is represented as:
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

    Then:

    H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
    8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 =98%

    and

    K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
    11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 =96%

    But,

    A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
    1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

    And

    B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
    2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

    FURTHERMORE, look how far ass-kissing will take you.

    A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
    1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

    So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bull**** and Ass-Kissing that will put you over the top.

    Now you know why some people are where they are!

    The irrational number 'phi', 1.618033989...... - subtract 1 and get its reciprocal, add 1 and you get its square.

    (1+sqrt(5))/2

    It occurs a lot in the geometry of pentagons and dodecahedrons !

    I copy and paste it to my many friends. Unfortunately in haste I omitted to add it was not my own work that drew said conclusion.

    I am torn on admitting the error or accepting the accolades.

    With a riposte such as above one can only admire your verbal dexterity and from tone of same one should remain 'your humble servant'!

    Bored again.......so here goes:

    Today is 3rd May and week 18 of 2012 which can also be put as 03/05/2012.

    So by using the numbers in today's date thus: ((3*5)*2)-12=18 as in week 18!!! :eek:
