A nice puzzle with a generalisation

... in the old days when they had tickets and bus conductors. I cannot remember ever seeing a 'comely' bus conductor; in fact female bus conductors (and drivers) were an extremely rare race.

A nice puzzle with a generalisation

On buses I'd while away the time factorising the bus ticket number

A nice puzzle with a generalisation

probably around pi^4

A nice puzzle with a generalisation

as for dart maths, how many ways can you go out on 53? And which way do you rate best?

A nice puzzle with a generalisation

@merlot Ah! each to their own!

A nice puzzle with a generalisation

a five digit number abcde so 1abcde is first, abcde1 is second
but 3*1abcde = abcde1 results in 3*142857 = 428571
1/7 = 0.142857... 3/7 = 0.428571...

The case of Alex Jones

@vira without knowing whom you were addressing, nonetheless I can assure you you are technically incorrect - you might claim this is a monologue or a rhetorical question, but it is not a soliloquy, being addressed to an audience in a blog, and inviting response. Why anyone would want to make such a comment is mystifying. Why not instead try addressing the issue of telling preposterous harmful lies and profiting from them with claims that the dead children of Sandy Hook were not dead and their parents were just actors?

The obvious lies of Donald Trump are harder to prove, but hopefully the Dominion defamation cases against Powell and Giuliani will be successful but no doubt they will hand on hearts claim they genuinely believed what they said. Yet I seem to recall claiming 'no one in their right mind could believe what she said was intended seriously. Hoist on her own petard perhaps?

RE: About the hearing...

Watching Planet America (Australian TV program on current affairs in America) they suggest the special committee hearings are unlikely to have significant effect (both Dem and Rep minds having been made up long ago) but they do record the history of events reliably. They speak of Georgia, Iowa, Nevada as important in the upcoming mid-terms. You'd bet the balance of power is going to shift to the Reps. Another crippled President, same as the Obama years.

RE: Stop typing ect.

@Herr Konrad Latin has been spoken used and taught for way over 2000 years. Its pronunciation is known. It was the common language of science until - not so long ago. Both Newton and Leibnitz wrote it. I studied it for 3 years, in particular Caesar's 'The Gallic Wars' - Commentarii de Bello Gallico.

Myth of good guy with a gun vs bad guy with a gun

@grand well that was a piece of total nonsense wasn't it - review and respond if you wish, but it gets my rebuff, be assured.

@hover I treasure your words - sometimes. Others, yes as you say.

Oh how sad! The great Christian resurgence in China has been deleted...

@hover - INXS huh! You always make my heart leap, can't help it!

Oh how sad! The great Christian resurgence in China has been deleted...

@hover hihi! this is a somewhat argumentative thread as you can see! laugh
You do duck in and out, don't you!

Oh how sad! The great Christian resurgence in China has been deleted...

@wsg laughing is not necessarily laughing at, but now you speak of it, it just might have become so.

Oh how sad! The great Christian resurgence in China has been deleted...

@ray intolerant? Hatred? Where where where? I have never burnt anyone at the stake, tortured or beheaded anyone as two prominent religions have done throughout history. You, and the @op who deleted her thread are perfectly entitled to your beliefs and I am entitled to think they are insupportable. However when you propagandise untruthfully, as she did, saying how wonderful it is that Christianity flourishes, you can expect me to point out the fallacy. Bigoted!? Bosh!

RE: What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

Things are improving here in Australia - in the last 10 years, maybe 20, no Scientologists Brethren Mormons have come knocking - they always got short shrift anyway - not interested, go away, please do not come again. Watchtower is no longer peddled at the local station, and at the nearby major junction the busker at the bottom of the stairs no longer sings the praises of god.
The white shirted suited young male couples who used to wander the street, speaking Chinese quite well no longer accost people. Yippee!
My neighbours are Muslim, Catholic, Buddhist Unknown - I never ask and I never intrude.
It pleases me to observe the retreat of religion in Australia.

The @op uses the word 'hatred' in referring to me - what utter nonsense! This is a blog and invites response - you've got mine! 20,000 comments - now tell me, do you or do you not observe obsession there? How many are the @op herself ... I won't flagellate by counting them, but I am guessing the windbag constitutes at least 90%

RE: Stop typing ect.

In Latin if I remember correctly the 'c' is hard, like et keteruh. How about German USW instead, und so weiter... or the American blah blah blah, and so on? Interesting how these anachronistic Latin abbreviations survive - ie, eg, nb, qed - any others? Oh yes, et al, cf. et ainsi de suite doesn't quite roll off the tongue, does it, but I suspect the French use etc.
Getting more up my nose are the online uses of there/their/they're your/you're and lose/loose loser/looser

@hpy you give me cause and opportunity to use some words I rarely see or hear. Scoff chortle and guffaw. Nice to be able to trundle out and parade such fine words, don't you agree?

Oh how sad! The great Christian resurgence in China has been deleted...

that was maybe 7-8 years old.

Oh how sad! The great Christian resurgence in China has been deleted...

@Joseph I never ever believed, but remember standing in the back yard pointing a finger saying 'if my kitten dies you are dead god!' The kitten of course died, and the god never lived anyway!

Oh how sad! The great Christian resurgence in China has been deleted...

Actually quite interesting at 8-12 years old I could identify BS already. A skill I still have in spades.

Oh how sad! The great Christian resurgence in China has been deleted...

@Joseph I really don't care about it, but as a child it made me isolated - I stood outside alone in the playground during 'scripture classes' fairy story classes as I thought of them. I remember how the social studies exams used to ask biblical stories - it never irritated me or frustrated me, I just knew it was not important.

RE: Who would win in a fight, Pelosi or Trump?

@wsg no he wasn't you idiot! He meant what he was recorded as saying, literally.

Oh how sad! The great Christian resurgence in China has been deleted...

@chesney what utter nonsense. Let me remind you the topic is the religion, not the politic.

and @wsg I have no way or means to get a post thread deleted. The author almost certainly did it herself. One can only hope she does the same for the 'unique' thread too - but I have no factual grounds on which to object. When it comes to statistics and boasting about them I am on solid ground rejecting them. The unique thread irritating though it is, is her belief.

@wsg I did not delete it - the writer almost certainly did, not liking some of the negative comments. I am not 'against Christ' but I think the idea is preposterous. Absurd. Got it?

@jac I take it the meaning is in the last sentence - pushing the numbers could indicate belief insecurity? I cannot say, but in my case I am absolutely positive a god is an absurd unnecessary idea.

Anyone want to try (L+O+G+I+C)^3 =LOGIC

Convention is convention. A leading zero except for 0 itself and 0.x is redundant. We do not use it. This is not just a convention but a rule.

Anyone want to try (L+O+G+I+C)^3 =LOGIC

@joseph using Excel perchance? The idea is to use logic and deduction if possible ... m by convention, s, cannot be zero
