Too many numbers... Way too many numbers... My head hurts. It's Geometry all over again! aiwebs_001

And in other news, I just saw Harry Potter 5. It's a lot like 4, (except the plot >_>) but wayyy more intense. I'd give it 3 stars.

Quote from TheCheruben:

So in working in areas where you must stick to whole numbers( which happens more than you think) , one ends up without fractions--- the above example is sufficient, as there are ~4~ numbers on either side of the two numbers, 5 and 6, which means those two are in the center. The mean of the two is 5.5. Since we cannot use fractions as such in the whole number understanding, one (traditionally) rounds off. Why not 5 in the center?

I think the problem is not that you're saying 6 is the "center" of a string of numbers (even though it's not), but more that your arguments just doesn't have a point. What "area" would one be "working in" that they would care what the center of 1 - 10 is? 0 - 9 would be more plausible, but I still can't really think of some deep meaning to either sequence's center. At any rate, such an "area" would likely deal with some kind of mathematics, probably statistics, and therefore would, yes, want to take into account the exact value of the number, not round it. Rounding generally just causes problems in such "areas" of work.

I think it was fairly obvious that I meant only numbers written in English.

Quote from Arkarian:

Quote from Soap on a Rope:

there are four letters in "four"

It's actually the only number which has a value equal to its amount of letters. I think.

Until you call it QUATRO! Curse those dastardly Spanish!

... I hope you're not being serious there. I very much hope that.

Embarrasing Fact: Power suit made by lowest bidder

The mean of 1 and 10 is about pi. I sometimes use pi when I'm too lazy to recalculate the actual mean - it's close enough for an engineer's work.

Here's a fun math thing.
12345679 * 8 = 98765432
1234568 * 7 = 8765432
123457 * 6 = 765432
12346 * 5 = 65432
1235 * 4 = 5432
124 * 3 = 432
13 * 2 = 32
2 * 1 = 2

It works in the other direction too. I figured out a proof of it but I lost it. I could probably figure it out again, but it was a lot of work and I don't have as much free time as I did in high school.

Oh, and everything I said in this post is entirely true. Mind games are fun. :)

13 * 2 = 32

Judging by the last digits alone, 8*7 ends in 6, 6*5 ends in 0, 5*4 ends in 0, 3*2 ends in 6. Right off the bat, I notice 13*2 is 26, and 124*3 is 372.

Also, it should be noted that no other number is any closer to infinity than Six, so it should be recognized as a perfect number. :^O

Also Fives has five letters, and is better because it's plural. Also One has one term. Also One Hundred has both three digits and three syllables. Also, Six is terrified of Seven. Also, the genetic trait of having six fingers per hand is dominant in the human species. And Hot-dog buns come in packages of Six. As do many soda cans and beer bottles. I can eat Six slices of pizza, size Large. And every single multiple of Six has a factor of Six. Six has three letters, three is half of Six, and Six has half of the letters as it is valued. And Six is like totally rad.

Any objections, lady?

Yeah, that could be.. not what i meant though. But i think it might be profane to show one of my cards now, as i imagine any reading this thread who has studied even a bit of the not-commonly-known teachings i was alluding to would have called me on it or added something.

Quote from ArkaniaN:

i wonder if it was as obvious as my chronic jocularity. If had studied your post (think i just saw the response to yours) i would have known for sure your intention, but however would still have said that; it's simply where my mind naturally wanders next in that train of thought.

Quote from DJGrenola:

you forgot zero, genius.

0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

I guess the genius insult is a remote form of trolling, but thanks for setting the example. You prolbably have no idea that i was going on at length about the numbers as the ancient egyptians and hebrews understood them, although millions today still put the approaches to use (millions AIN't a LOT). As i said, zero was later conceived, and mayans get the most credit for it. Butfor yet another angle on this frenzied numberfest here, it has been shown (but not in public school) that zero is sort of ludicrous when referred to as a number. Not to explain myself, here,, but if one wonders why they'd look it up online.
i noticed from Granola's interesting postulate that 5 is the center of 1 thru 9. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9... gasp: Five alive!!!!! aiwebs_016

no, the aim of trolling is to try to goad someone into arguing with you. That was the exact opposite.

It's already extremely obvious where you're coming from. Don't bother. You might try spelling people's usernames correctly, too.
