Ilsoap Flect Posts: 448 (8/19/02 11:13 pm) Reply	Re: More H2G2 connections... Neat coincidence though! (Also coincidental is the fact that 3 + 1 + 4 = 8, Billy's age at the time.) If we're looking for connections to stuff, there might be something somewhere here (although I can't see many). 314 in base 5 = 84 (42 x 2) in base 10 314 in base 6 = 118 314 in base 7 = 156 314 in base 8 = 208 314 in base 9 = 256 314 in base 10 = 314 (obviously) 314 in base 11 = 378 314 in base 12 = 448 For Mortimer's IQ of 315, just add one to the answers. (Sheilding self from onslaught of farm-fresh produce due to my use of math before actually returning to school.) Objects in computer screen may be closer than they appear.

Ilsoap Flect Posts: 454 (8/21/02 10:08 pm) Reply	Re: 314 Hmmm... Korath III is a pretty tall level. It's possible that it's 314 tiles long (and about 30 wide). Anyone know exactly how long it is? Someone with programming experience could probably figure it out pretty easily from the source code. It would be a nifty little hidden reference if it was true. Objects in computer screen may be closer than they appear.

eK Isonian Posts: 783 (8/23/02 3:59 am) Reply	Re: 314 Ilsoap, your doing your bases wrong ... I don't know what your doing to get your answers, but they're wrong. 314 in base 5 = 2224 314 in base 6 = 1242 314 in base 7 = 626 314 in base 8 = 470 314 in base 9 = 378 314 in base 10 = 314 (obviously) 314 in base 11 = 266 314 in base 12 = 222 (ha!) 314 in base 42 = 7J (J corresponds with the number 20) 314 in base 314 = 10 (wow, that was tough!) 314 in binary (base 2) = 10011110 This is pretty basic stuff, it just takes a bit of time to come up with the numbers, and I haven't done this in a while, it's fun.
Ilsoap Flect Posts: 456 (8/23/02 8:34 pm) Reply	Nope, they're right. They are right, you misinterpreted me (I wasn't expressly clear though). What I meant is that if the number is 314 in base 5, it will be 84 in base 10. Just like 10010 in base 2 is 18 in base 10.
Too Much Spare Time King Slug Posts: 406 (8/26/02 6:25 am) Reply	Re: Nope, they're right. Try the melody of the Border Village music with these chords: I II(6) V I That works nicely. But wait a second! They could also be expressed as V - iii(7) - I - IV in the dominant key. So what were those numbers again? 5, 3, 1 ,4. What? 5,314. Whoah-hey-hey- did somebody say "314"?????
