Pi * 1337% = 42. My mind is blown.

Okay.

Pick a 3 digit number.

Write it out twice, so if you picked 471, you write 471,471.

Divide that number by 7, then divide the answer by 11, then divide that by 13.

Alternatively, multiply your three digit number by 7, then the answer by 11, then 13, 101 and 9901.
Thus you made about 90% of people use 471 making this whole thing insignificant ;P.
Nice trick though ;).

.999... = 1 however isn't a trick. But makes sense when you really start to think about it.
It is indeed true. If you express the value, instead as the sum of 9(.1)^n, where n ranges from 1 to infinity, you have an infinite arithmetic series. Since math at infinity is not directly possible, we can examine what happens as n approaches infinity. In this case, the limit simply approaches 1, meaning that, after the sum of this infinite series is, indeed 1.

A better way to describe it that does not involve the dark magicks of calculus uses simple algebra. Remember for a moment the fundamental theorem of Algebra: An equation of nth degree has exactly n solutions.

The series 0.999... will stand in for n.

10n = 9.999... (the trailing elapses indicates the series continues to infinity)
10n - n = 9.999... - 0.999...
9n = 9
n = 1

The fundamental theorem of algebra thus indicates that .999... is equivalent to 1 as this first degree equation must have one solution.

It should be mentioned as a caution that mathematical fallacy is commonly used in an attempt to prove silly things like 2 = 1. In many cases, the fallacy lies in a non-obvious division by zero somewhere hidden in the middle of the associated proof.
guys you're complicating the situation :p
1= 1/3 + 2/3 = 0.(3) + 0.(6) = 0.(9) = 9/9 =1
0.(3)=0.33333333333...
simple algebra :)
oh and btw: you can't do math without the entire number (like you used 0.999...)

That Dracula has little to nothing at all to do with Vlad The Impaler and actually comes from Irish meaning Bad Blood. Also the book has many Celtic and Irish references in it rather than Romanian references and the place Transylvania was only picked because Bram Stoker thought it sounded exotic.

You can't make pi a whole number in base ten.
You can if you use fractions. :p It's also possible to divide and then multiply it and produce an integer (IIRC)

Yeah that is pretty sweet, but I have another one for you.

1/3 is equal to .3 repeating.
2/3 is equal to .6 repeating.
3/3 is equal to 1 right? Not quite.
The difference between 1/3 and 2/3, and 2/3 and 3/3 is 1/3.

By this ^ logic it makes sense that 3/3 would be 1. However:

The difference between .3 repeating and .6 repeating is .3 repeating, or 1/3 -> the same as above.
The difference between .6 repeating and 1 is .4 repeating, not 1/3 -> not the same as above. If it were to follow the same rule, as it should, 3/3 would be .9 repeating, which is not 1. It is infinitely close to 1 but not 1.

EDIT: Fuckin' ninja'd, twice. I quit at life.
0.(6) +0.(4) does NOT equal 1
66 + 44 =110
0.66+ 0.44= 1.1
and examples go on
[and as stated apove 0.66666.... = 0.(6) ]

0.(4) + 0.(6) =/= 1
44+66 =110
0.444+ 0.666 = 1.11
and so on.
and when a number isn't EXACT you can't do math with it.
1/3 is an exact number but 0.(3) [or .3 repeating or 0.333333.... } isn't and you just use it as a rezult or for aproximate answers.
and as i said before. it is common knowledge in math that 0.(9) = 1
1= 1/3 + 2/3 = 0.(3) + 0.(6) = 0.(9)
stupid accidental double post....

Ah, now I wasn't sure just how many people would get that but as it turns out a fair amount did.

Think about this. (nerd science incoming)

All materials condense when they get colder, becoming more dense and sinking. This is especially true when they change state, say from liquid to solid.

EXCEPT WATER! Ice is the ONLY thing that actually expands and floats when it freezes.

The really freaky part? If this wasn't true then life as we know it would not exist! (water frozen in winter would sink and not be thawed by the summer sun, eventually causing all water to freeze)

So just remember: you wouldn't be alive except for one tiny little middle finger to thermal dynamics.
Have you read 'A Short History of Nearly Everything'? Or did you just so happen to phrase it very similarly?

Infinity divided by 2 is 0 because theoretically there are infinite positive and negative numbers so the the very center is 0.
Infinity divided by 2 is infinity - infinity is immune to simple manipulations. Infinity is more powerful than 2 can possibly imagine.

I find your lack of math disturbing.

Yep, that's where I found this out.

Later I went out and found why and that other things display this tendency as well, but this really seemed like the best way to phrase it.

holy fucking christ that is awesome.


I learned this in advanced physics the other day:

As long as an object has a mass, it has a gravitational force. There's always a force pulling other nearby objects towards it. So if you sit beside someone else, you two are gravitating towards each other, technically. These forces exist for every object ever but are damn near impossible to notice unless it's two HUGE masses, such as planets.

In my class, we worked out the gravitational attraction between ourselves and the people we were working with. It was strange. :)

Think about this:

Hydrogen - highly flammable
Oxygen - Highly flammable

Mix them = Water.

Water - Cannot be set alight.


It's weird!!!!

like when i thought that rock types were also immune to electric type attacks, i felt very ripped off when i was training my anorith and he was knocked one by a thundershock!

the last time this thread came up, i said "you cant multiply a number with infinite decimal places, and get a whole number"

the reply i got was "if you divided 1 by pi, that number would have infinite decimal places, but if you multiplied that number by pi, it would be whole again"

which is prfectly true, so the logic works in theory, but in practice, you cant multiply an already-existant number with infinate decimal places to create a whole number, because the decimal places go on forever, just as 3.33333... can never truely make 10 when multiplied by 3.
