Subject: RE: BS: Oddity From: GUEST, topsie Date: 22 Jan 11 - 11:36 AM Or 11 for people born this century, some of whom will be old enough to read this in spite of the 'How old are we?' thread. |

Subject: RE: BS: Oddity From: gnu Date: 22 Jan 11 - 04:48 PM There is only one true system - SI. ALL others are an abomination! There should be a Fatwad unleashed mercilessly on all who debase THE system! Especially the evil "Americans" who defile all that is measured by clinging to an antiquated system which truly is unchaste. In our antiquated system of yore, it's not presently -22WC. It's "Better put on yer woolies afore ye go out the door eh." Hmmm... stills works, I suppose. But why can't people just go with the flow? gnu, 2011.01.22 |

Subject: RE: BS: Oddity From: Janie Date: 22 Jan 11 - 04:57 PM Why is that, Louie? I did it with each of my family members, and sure enough, added up to 111. |

Subject: RE: BS: Oddity From: Joe_F Date: 22 Jan 11 - 08:05 PM It is absurd that a thread with that title should fail to mention me. |

Subject: RE: BS: Oddity From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 22 Jan 11 - 08:12 PM Janie, it's how base 10 maths works... like if a number is even, it is divisible by 2, etc... and a million others ... |

Subject: RE: BS: Oddity From: Louie Roy Date: 22 Jan 11 - 10:31 PM Janie I don't know but it like I said it is an oddity Louie |

Subject: RE: BS: Oddity From: GUEST,Jon Date: 22 Jan 11 - 10:39 PM Adding the year you were born to the age you will turn in current year will always give the current year. 111 comes from dropping the 1900, ie 2011-1900=111. |

Subject: RE: BS: Oddity From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 23 Jan 11 - 07:27 AM I've got musician brain (sounds like a syndrome) which is useless for any kind of numbers. But sure enough, it works - tried it on myself, my partner, and my Dad. Hat trick. |

Subject: RE: BS: Oddity From: GUEST,Jon Date: 23 Jan 11 - 08:06 AM I'm not sure what a musician brain is. Music can be viewed as both art and science and you will find people who lean heavily either way playing it. |
