Opus Magnus Posted July 21, 2018 #1201 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) All sums of 9 to a certain power add up to 9 when added up in order. For example 9^2= 81, 8+1=9 9^3=729, 7+2+9=18, 1+8=9 9^4=6561, 6+5+6+1=18, 1+8=9 9^5=59049, 5+9+4+9=27, 2+7=9 9^6=531441, 5+3+1+4+4+1=18, 1+8=9 Etc. I discovered this playing with my calculator while bored in math class. I figured the number 9 must really like itself.

Just as equally, 1.99999... is the same number as 2. Another interesting fact: Maths can prove that 0.9999... = 1 but it can't prove that 1= 0.9999... Assume: x= 0.999999 Therefore: 10x=9.9 Therefore: 10x-x = 9.9- 0.9 9.9-0.9=9 Therefore 9x=9 Therefore: x (which is 0.999999)=1 I understand this works, but I thought it would be .0....1 I'm not sure if that number exists though. All, I can think is, "How convenient keeping 10 so close number 9, how convenient......" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opus Magnus Posted July 21, 2018 #1203 Share Posted July 21, 2018 If we try the same thing with for example, .222... x=.2... 10x=2.2... 10x=2+.2... 10x=2+x 9x=2 4.5x=1 then checking: .2222222222*4.5=.999999999 So, in this case, it looks like the equation fails itself falling back on .9...

Some people argue that 0.99999... isn't exactly the same as 1 but that the two numbers "converge". By the way, the distance between two consecutive 0.99 etc numbers gets ten times smaller each time, so 0.999 is ten times closer to 0.99 as 0.99 is to 0.9. So by thinking of that, you can see why 0.99... recurring is the same as 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Monk Posted August 12, 2018 #1219 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Manchester rockers Oasis took their name from a leisure centre in Swindon where Inspiral Carpets played on 28th April 1991. Inspiral Carpets' roadie was Noel Gallagher. Every Kings of Leon album had five syllables in its title until "WALLS" was released in 2016. At 52, Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman married 18-year-old Mandy Smith but divorced after a year. Bill's 30-year-old son Stephen then married Mandy's mother, aged 46. If Bill and Mandy had remained married, Stephen would have been his father's father-in-law and his own grandpa.

Mark One Posted August 15, 2018 #1222 Share Posted August 15, 2018 In 1979, Columbo (the TV series) spawned a poorly received spin-off which followed the day to day adventures of the lieutenant's wife. Kate Mulgrew (who would later become Captain Janeway in Star Trek Voyager) played the role of Kate Columbo, a news reporter who solves crimes whilst bringing up her daughter. It was never well received and when the ratings began to buckle, Mrs. Columbo became Mrs. Callahan - a woman who had recently divorced her husband. The title of the flagging show was then changed from, Mrs. Columbo, into - Kate the Detective and before the shows death was finally renamed, Kate Loves a Mystery. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no, just stating a fact about certain names, also to elaborate, that some with certain names , well they might have a hard time in life because of others before them with the same name not having the grandest of reputation. Yes, have seen Columbo. Edited August 15, 2018 by MWoo7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
