4 is considered unlucky in both China and Japan as it is a homophone for death in the respective languages.

1, which is the loneliest number.

I like how there are only two responses to the poll. One for 666, one for 13.

4 is also bad for poker but 5 is great.



I like numbers, but I suppose one of the most mysterious is this one:

3.14159265 but I dare not go any further in the sequence or the fabric
of the universe could be ripped away at the seem just like what that
black hole did to that poor star.

you know ghost flash you dont have to hit return when you get to the end of the text box :/

Any number below 75 on my report card...

9 digits is so... inaccurate! (i memorized 100 digits for fun last month, go me.)

Ah. That would explain a few e-mails from DEMONHOOD... I just like to format them for easier reading. Is this easier than what I have been doing? If so, then I will resist the attemp to hit return. GF.

[disectamac]

scariest numbers:

the number found in the amount due box of my gas bill, cell phone bill (because they can be so unpredictable).

also the number about to appear in green digital led display on top of the cash register after the last product i put in the cart is scanned. also sometimes a scary surprise

Hmmm. I am unemployed at the moment, well working freelance, same thing then. Nahh. I don't even want to attempt that one. 100 decimal places? Maybe I can take up posting the longest known thread to MacNN? Yeah. That's the ticket!

just about anything below 65 degrees.

i had free time in high school before my calc class, there was pi on the wall to something like 40 places.

i only got this far-
3.1415926535897932. what is that 17? holy crap that was 6 years ago. to think of all the other things i could know if i didnt know that.

Hey! I'm still wrapping my brain around 1 divided by dare I say it! Zero.

So many mentions of 1/0... It's time to whip out my theory of Extreme Numbers.

You know how in grade school you learned that you "can't" take the square root of a negative number. And then you learned that you can but you call it something special: the "imaginary number" i. Well, everyone also knows you "can't" divide 1 by 0... until now. I define the unit of Extreme Numbers to be called "the Dew" and it is given by dew=1/0. Unfortunately, the symbol for the Dew is not in the Unicode spec yet, so until it's added you'll have to bear with me.

A complex number n is given by n=a+bi, where a and b are real numbers. An Extreme Number is given by n=a+c*dew. A Complex Extreme Number, also known as an Awesome Number, is given by n=a+bi+c*dew.

The complex plane is one where the x-axis is all real numbers and the y-axis is all real numbers times i. The Extreme Plane is the same, but with the y-axis being all real numbers times dew. Awesome Space is the complex plane with a 3rd dimension given by the Extreme Number Line. This is useful in... something. I'll let you know when I figure it out.

Nice theory, but it's still flawed. Everybody knows that as we approach 0, the result of 1/0 gets bigger and bigger. If we were ever to hit +infinity, our universe would disappear in a puff of logic, so please Don't Do It. Seriously, think of the children.

[Ghoser777]

Didn't we already discuss the illogicality of the "Dew" before?
