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

[Eclectic Dreck]

guys you're complicating the situation
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 is why I used an acceptable math notation. I indicated a trend of repetition and the trailing elipses tells the reader that it carries on in this way forever. I even pointed that out in the very post you quoted for those where not familiar with this notational convention.

Think about this:

Hydrogen - highly flammable
Oxygen - Highly flammable

Mix them = Water.

Water - Cannot be set alight.


It's weird!!!!

Except in Cleveland.

well this is from back in the day:

professor: Polar Bears' fur is not white, but mirror like silver, which reflects the white of the snow

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 .

nope, i picked 512 and it worked

I know. It's just that a lot of people will choose 471 and go "oh I guess it only works for that number meh" xp.
It's hard to tell what I was trying to tell just in emotionless text

Hmm. Interesting way to break down 1,001 and 1,001,001,001---numbers which have properties that mesh very well with three-digit numbers. Multiply it by 1,001,001,001,001,001,001...and you can get the sequence to repeat as often as you'd like.

In other news, my mind was blown today when a girl I've met on campus exactly twice recognized me and smiled at me when I chanced across her again today. If I see her one more time I'm asking her out for coffee.

(e^(pi*i))+1=0
that's using exact values
like how the fuck

 

[Blindswordmaster]

Well we are nerds, and nerds are good at math.

 

[mrpenguinismyhomeboy]

My TI-83 says your off slightly.

But one thing that blew my mind was how people are both assholes and nice guys at the same time.

 

[LogicNProportion]

O_O

Hooooooooooooooly SHIT! *HEAD ASPLODES*

Um, I think I read somewhere that there's a tear in space that literally is shooting out nonsense. I read it in a newspaper a few years ago, I haven't looked into it...

 

[SimuLord]

(e^(pi*i))+1=0

so ln (pi*i) - 1 = 0?

 

[Siuki]

Holy crap. Million to one chance, but it happened. The internet's most elite number's percentage multiplied by the nerdiest number was the meaning of life all along. Who knew.

OT: Apparently, that Black Ops will be 10 times better than Halo: Reach. Oh, you said things that actually turned out to be true... right. That Kim-Jong loves basketball. Oh, Cracked. I thought he just played a heavily-edited communist version of Starcraft 2 in his free time.

 

[runnernda]

This is awesome.

OT: When I realized the D in the Disney logo WAS a D. Blew my mind.

 

[Ph33onix]

Zero to the zero power = 1.

O SHI, what have I done?!

you just proved your don't know math

Unless your being sarcasting 0^0 does equal one. anything^0 is one.

Hmm I mixed it up with 0^inf srry, that was the indetermination i was thinking about

(e^(pi*i))+1=0
that's using exact values
like how the fuck

(e^(pi*i))+1 is equal to none other than (e^(pi*i))+1, i has no "real" value that's why it's called imaginary. Unless you consider i the variable which multiplied by pi and to the power which e is raised and added 1 to to equal 0

 

[matt87_50]

Wait but... whoa?
Oh god it's like that "what happened to one dollar?" thing!

My mind is going to explo

There is a prize behind one of three closed doors. You pick a door, then one of the OTHER doors you DIDN'T pick is opened, the prize is not behind it. This leaves two doors, the one you picked, and the remaining closed door. One houses the prize, one does not. You are asked if you would like to swap your selection.

Should you?

;D

ohh! does anyone remember the one about the two guys, where one always lies and one is always honest!?

Both those are not really hard (the first one is not really a question of logic but a question of character). The second one is the easiest riddle ever if you know what to ask.

Spoiler

2+2=?

with the first one. statistically, it is always better to swap.

and I think the two guys one has a stipulation where you can only ask one question. (I really can't remember)

The equation is correct, it adds up to zero. The i in it is, indeed, i, the square root of negative one, the imaginary unit. Counterintuitive? Perhaps, but sufficiently advanced math is indistinguishable from magic. Look up Euler's Identity.

 

[Redingold]

Ooh, two other things that blew my mind.

1. When I realised how big Graham's Number was.

2. When I realised how small Graham's Number was.

Also, the fact that maths can never be complete is pretty mindboggling.
