3 4 or 5

[Mirelly]

3 words 1 - 4 - 7
4 words 2 - 5 - 8
5 words 3 - 6 - 9

sorry but ye cannae break the laws of matherology :p

290 >> 2+9+0 = 11 >> 1+1=2 ... a 4 word number

294 >> 2+9+4=15 >> 1+5=6 ... a five word number

[babewithbrains_14]

Eh?

I just stared at the screen for 10 minutes trying to uncover WHAT in the name of creme eggs Mirelly was talking about.

I reached new highs in confu... confuddl... confuddlision?

[Mirelly]

LMAO ... it's a numerology thang, Ems :p

[Mirelly]

If you take the number of a post ... let's say 29532 ;)

add the numbers together 2+9+5+3+2 = 21

add again to get a single digit number 2+1=3

3 is third in the sequence 1, 2, 3, etc so post number 29,532 in the 3, 4, 5 thread should be a FIVE word number

The number 29,532 is also divisible by 3 ... but then you knew that already :p

[SolidSnake_19]

I think I just had an aneurysm. o_x

[surprised_by_witches]

I'm right there with you, Snakey.

[Mirelly]

Tha's right :D

Dang, who said that?

[babewithbrains_14]

dictionary.com - such a lifesaver when I read these threads.

[MegRen]

:confused: :confusion: :banghead: :boggled: :faint: :knockout:


Those are all me right now.

[Mirelly]

OK

I get the message

I think you're all having a laugh at my expense

But in case you are not here it is in baby talk

First post (#1) is THREE words

Second post (#2) is FOUR words

Third post (#3) is FIVE WORDS

OK Pay attention here's where it gets really difficult

Fourth post (#4) is THREE words

Fifth post (#5) is FOUR words

Sixth post (#6) is FIVE WORDS

Seventh post (#7) is THREE words

Eighth post (#8) is FOUR words

Ninth post (#9) is FIVE WORDS

But what's really gonna freak your chicken is this:

Tenth post (#10) is THREE words

Eleventh post (#11) is FOUR words

Twelfth post (#12) is FIVE words

Post number 10 contains the digits 1 and zero, which added together make 1

Post number 11 likewise contains diggits 1 and another 1 that add together to make 2

And ... duh add together the digits in the 12 of post number 12 and you get 3

This sequence is endless and predictable and can be used to ascertain who is right and who is wrong.

For what it's worth I was waiting for someone (and I won't do it) to point the fickle finger of fate at the guilty person who was remonstarting with Babe for posting the wrong number of words when, in fact, Babe's post was -- accidentally or otherwise -- actually correct :rolleyes: :p

[jupitershana]

*blinks* Ohhh....I get it...uhh...wait...no, I don't. *turns and walks away scratching her head* I give up.

[babewithbrains_14]

I get it Mirelly. Shana, take post.... 67 for example.
6+7=13
1+3=4

So therefore, post 67 MUST contain 4 words in that thread about posting 3 words, then 4, then 5!

I only have one question. How the heck did you figure this one out?

[Mirelly]

clunk ... ooh my bottom just fell off ... sorry Babe but you're almost there

67 would be 3 words ... :( cos

6+7=13
1+3=4

which is true but the 3,4,5 series is only three deep and there are -- sadly, but confoundedly, nine digits 1 thru 9 ...


so bunging them in a matrix you get


123
456
789


4 and 7, as can be seen lay in the 1 column (three words)
5 and 8, are in the 2 column (four words)
6 and 9 ....


oh sorry I fell asleep :rolleyes:

How did I discover it? You kidding this is maths at it most basic! :eek: And I barely got thru math at school (you don't wanna know my grade ... hell! I don't even wanna remember it! :o ) So why am I the only one to think this is kindergarten stuff ... and while I'm on the subject why am I the the only one who is using TAN tables to exploit the roofslopeangle cheat to make better dormer windows?

You can do totally froody things with a roof if you set
roofslopeangle 30.96375 ... go on try it! (If you have Nightlife ... :rolleyes:)

[babewithbrains_14]

Oh, Shana. I'm joining you on the side of the people who have given up.

Mirelly, I actually meant WHY did you figure this out?!? I'm even more ill now...

Oooh, Creme Eggs!

[jupitershana]

Too bad Babe, because I think I got it now...for example:

Use the following grid: If the final number falls under line A, it's a 3 word post, line B it's a 4 word post, and line C is a 5 word post.

A B C
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

213: 2+1+3=6 which would make it a 5 word post because 6 falls under the C catagory in the grid.

214: 2+1+4=7 which makes it a 3 word post because it falls under A.

[Mirelly]

LOL Shana. Now people will think you're as numerologically obsessive as what I am ... :rolleyes:

[jupitershana]

LOL Shana. Now people will think you're as numerologically obsessive as what I am ... :rolleyes:

LOL, not if they knew me in person! I understood your basic concept at first, but was a little confused on it, your grid just really helped by ingraining it into my little head. It is interesting how it is a constant that never changes. As for math in general though, aiy, I barely made it through college algebra.

[babewithbrains_14]

I GET IT!!!!! :D :D :D :D PaRtY tImE!!!!!

[Lynet]

Try substituting :confused:, :o and :p for A, B and C. (I mean that the length of the sentences is not important. 3,4,5 A,B,C smiley1,smiley2, smiley3.)

But what about a 3, 4, 5 and 6 word series.

What's the pattern under that one? :eek:



*Back to work, Lynet!*

LOL ... there's always someone, isn't there? :p A repeating series of 4 items does have a numerological pattern ... just not one that is easily memorised by an airhead like me.

The cyclic nature of 3's is well known. It's the next big math secret taught to kids soon after teaching them that odd numbers and even numbers have different properties. The curious nature of 3 is counter-intuitive since we instinctively feel that because we count in base ten and 3 is no rational fraction of the base that it ought not to be so predictable. Luckily zero has the property of not being an effective integer ... the idea of zero as a number is a source of endless amusement. Of course zero is most useful as a number in accounting because it is clear that the difference between a bank account that is $1 dollar overdrawn and an account that has a postive balance of $1 is obviously $2 ... we do that by placing the null condition of zero balance between the two states.

But don't go looking for the year 0 between 1BC and 1AD ... you won't find it any more than you'll find a noughth birthday. Strictly speaking the day we celebrate as a first birthday is actually one's second (the first being the actual day we were born), but a birthday celebrates not a number but the accumulation of years ... so a 15th birthday celebrates the completion of 15 years of life. We know it, cos it's so darn obvious ... but like most things that are utterly obvious the smaller ramifications of the significance tend to get overlooked in all the excitement .... The scary truth is that numbers will do some highly odd things once you accept that zero doesn't exist (that was a joke BTW) :rolleyes:

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Why did this suddenly remind me of our past conversations with Decryption AI?? :eyebrow:

[Mirelly]

Now I come to think about it am certain I started this thread in the Test Area ... who's been tampering with my bits and pieces? :o

[babewithbrains_14]

Awh, I love that guy! Josh, if you're reading, when is he back?

[Lynet]

I'm going to try to get this post up in a hurry because the wretched so called high speed connection keeps cutting me off. :(

LOL ... there's always someone, isn't there? :p A repeating series of 4 items does have a numerological pattern ... just not one that is easily memorised by an airhead like me.I was just being a troublemaker, Mirelly. I can see a pattern in the 4 column matrix but I'm not a theoretical minded person. Patterns are not obvious to me, even though I work with tons of numbers all day long, keeping the boring books for a small store.

But this has all been much fun.

Crossing fingers for posting.

[babewithbrains_14]

It worked. :p

[Lynet]

Just barely. I got knocked off the internet again within a couple of minutes after getting that post up, then spent half an hour waiting on hold for the internet connection company to talk to me and, of course, the signal was working perfectly again by the time they got around to talking to me. "Sorry, can't help you if the signal is getting through perfectly as it is at the moment. Call back when it stops working again." Sure, I will. Then I'll be on hold for half an hour and it'll be working again by the time I'm talking to them again.

I really hate sitting on hold for a long time. :(

Anyway, that's all for tonight. I hear the dinnerbell.

[Flameback777]

Now I come to think about it am certain I started this thread in the Test Area ... who's been tampering with my bits and pieces? :o
Not me. I want to know who's doing my job. :rolleyes:

[babewithbrains_14]

I hear the dinnerbell.

Me too! :D

[Mirelly]

Not me. I want to know who's doing my job. :rolleyes:

LOL ... I love it :D I love when a thread goes 'off-topic' but this has to be a first ... a thread going 'off-forum' :rolleyes:

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

I'm going to try to get this post up in a hurry because the wretched so called high speed connection keeps cutting me off. :(

You too, huh? I swear, with it sometimes going at less than 1kb/s, and all these random disconnects, it feels like I'm back in the 90's all over again. What ISP are you using btw?

And that's my contribution to our off-forum banter for the day.

[Lynet]

What ISP are you using btw?Does ISP mean Internet Service Provider? :o My ignorance on the internal workings of computers and the internet is vast and embarrassing. I have my service through the local cable TV company, Comcast.

[babewithbrains_14]

I love anything off. Off-topic, off-forum, off-cliffs, off-bridges...

I just realised the past contributions I have made to this thread are just pointless. I love my life! It's so unnecessary, like unnecessary necessaties.

Oh, BTW if anybody is interested in useless facts, my ISP is AOL. Cool, huh? :fluffy: :spin: :fight: :devil: :hypnotized: :blockhead: :rolleyess: :whitekitty: :hyper: :cutie:

And of course: :praise:

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Hmmm, don't know much about Comcast. Somedays I blame it on my ISP, and on others I think it's my connection. I don't even know any more. I'm getting disconnects every 2 minutes just today alone.

Here, BWB. Have some Ritalin.
