And, what's more (moreover), is that 1111 factorizes into 11*101...and 11+1+0+1 = 13.

eek

I don't know, someone might not have cared for the 4000's very much and decided to skip most of them. I might have seen it but thought, what the heck.

That was me, counting skipping sheep in my sleepzzzzz! sleep

We'd better get back on track, as none of the numbers after 4199 are multiples of 13.

Luckily I can just use the trick from the post where I derailed and don't have to think up anything wonderful.

4212

The difference between 4212 and 5323 (5325 is 4212 raised by the Victor Borge Constant) = 1111......and 11+1+1 = 13.

And, what's more (moreover), is that 1111 factorizes into 11*101...and 11+1+0+1 = 13.

Don't worry about it. As long as I am still having problems coming up with an interesting solution to your YOB, you are OK with me.

Re: Add 13 more and post it forever.

Post #333:
A. x = any number, y = -4225
B. x = -4225, y = any number

I don't know if they're the only solutions.

I see. I'm only OK with you until then, then. sad

And how can you fit trying to solve my YOB puzzle into your busy day, in view of what you said about NOHOW?

That was 220 days ago.

220 factorized = 2*2*5*11......2*25-11 = 39......39 = 13 + 13 + 13 : ie, eerily linked to this thread! eek

Catchups:
4238 : 4 / 2 + 3 + 8 = 13
4251 : (4 * 2 + 5) * 1 = 13
4264 : √4 * 26 / 4 = 13
4277 : -√4 / 2 + 7 + 7 = 13
4290 : √4 + 2 + 9 + 0 = 13
4303 : 4 + (3 + 0) * 3 = 13
4316 : (4 + 3) * 1 + 6 = 13
4329 : 4! / 3 / 2 + 9 = 13
4342 : 4 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 13

Hi, ZHero!

Didn't recognise you without your makeup on! I was about to welcome you to the forum.

Nice numerical gymnastics routine! smile

4368

-4+3+6+8 = 13

4+3!/6+8 = 13

√4-3+6+8 = 13

(4/3*6/8) - (4*3-6*8) - (4+3+6+8) - (4-3-(6-8)) = 13

Re: Add 13 more and post it forever.

Hi phrontister;

I see. I'm only OK with you until then, then.

Didn't exactly mean it like that. I guess you know what I mean.

Do you 2 dudes know each other?

That was 220 days ago.

Yes, I know. Sometimes I don't get results for a very long time, and sometimes never. Sometimes I am forced to leave something in my notes under unsolved, waiting for a new idea to hit me. It is not through lack of trying, just lack of ability. I have switched over to YOB, but would like to solve it in a way that is more interesting than what I thought was the right way.

Can't say for sure what your imagining I meant. I can only say phrontister along with Jane and Tiggy are my favorites to post to.

It took me a long while finding "Tiggy". I googled it and came across >>Chiggy-Wiggy<<

I didn't know we had Tarzan and Jane over here! big_smile

well... I guess i know phrontister who's been posting on this forum for quite a while!!


What is the Next Number btw??

I suffer from the disease that if there's an opportunity to take something out of context - just to make something confusing that wasn't - I'll take it. Sometimes also called 'foot-in-mouth' disease...but I like to call it tongue-in-cheek :^) Yes...I'm guilty of twisting what you said, Bobby. Anyone for some pi? smile
