Qfwfq Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 A football team captain's instructions? :naughty: edit: I was forgetting, this reminded me of another quiz but I'll save it for when this one has got somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffy Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 C'mon guys, try a little harder. Its a question about what this particular sequence of numbers might mean. It might be their relationship to one another, or relationship to some specific set of numbers in nature or politics or something real.

Qfwfq Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Its a question about what this particular sequence of numbers might mean.Well, the football team captain's instructions mean a great lot, s'far's I know... :naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queso Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 (1)4 (2)8 (3)15(4)16 (5)23 (6)42 (1) x 2 x 2 - 1 + 1 +((2)-1) x 2 - (1) i'll be honest with you guys and say that i have yet to pass algebra 1..(going on my third year, well if you count 8th grade, i suppose it's fourth)and this probably has nothing to do with what buffy meant. :naughty: :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queso Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 maybe the relationship is you can get to all of them (with the numbers in sequence) by multiplying, subtracting, or adding only ones and twos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queso Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 well that makes no sense because the ones and twos are just labels i gave them, but who knows. i'm stopping here, i know nothing about mathematics. :naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Well, the football team captain's instructions mean a great lot, s'far's I know... :naughty:Sure, and that might be the answer, BUT the question would be IF they are call's by a quarterback (American) or captain (everywhere else), what do these *specific* numbers mean? Cheers,Buffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 well that makes no sense because the ones and twos are just labels i gave them, but who knows. i'm stopping here, i know nothing about mathematics. :naughty:You may be on the right track, and it may actually help *not* to know about math!

Fishteacher73 Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Is the sequence of any import? (ie is just easier to list them from lowest to highest?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Is the sequence of any import? (ie is just easier to list them from lowest to highest?)Maybe. They were originally listed in that order, so it needs to be taken into consideration. But not necessarily.... Cheers,Buffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortenS Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 These numbers identify the book of Luke in the New Testament.It is the only book in the New testament that contains the following verses:4:8, 15:16 and 23:42 Not bad for an atheist...

Buffy Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Have to check that out! What would you say are the significance of those passages and why would they be related? Luke was an atheist? How'd he get in the New Testament? Cheers,Buffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 ___I threw away my bibles so I can't check that reference. I don't see any common difference among the numbers, no geometric progression, nor are they multiples of Fibonacci numbers. They may represent some 'close packing' count, but not close-packed circles or spheres.___Off the topic a little, in Matthew, Jesus describes a data structure; did you ever notice that?:naughty: ___I will keep at these numbers regardless.
