Re: Add 13 more and post it forever.

I haven't worked out your age, even though I've read all 1832 posts on the 'How old are you bobbym?' thread.

I believe I am the oldest living member of any forum.

Re: Add 13 more and post it forever.

From that picture of you on your avatar I'd say that you're more than 865 years old, so I've got at least another 838 years to go before I get to be as old as you. I'll add that to my list of things to do...

Your equation's a bit lopsided, btw.

Yes, you are correct. Seems like it was an error in latexing.

Re: Add 13 more and post it forever.

No, that equation is little game we play. You take the digits of the number and try to make them equal 13.

Re: Add 13 more and post it forever.

Oops! (me, that is)

I got the number wrong in post #1278 by adding two lots of 13 to the previous number. I must be catching up to your age, Bobby!

Naturally, the sheep have followed on from there and all subsequent posts have been one lot of 13 ahead of themselves.

So for this post I'll just use the missing number...and no doubt the next poster won't understand what I've done and will continue on from this post instead of the one before. smile

Hi Bobby,

I'm glad you were the next poster, as you were my only hope of us staying on track.

This might (or might not) help Lynn16 (it didn't help me any...not just one teensiest bit):-
