C1ay Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Maybe Dark Mind will find which, if any, base notation for 1898 other than ten forms a palindrome? :)Well, in base 1897 I think it would be written 11. I'm sure it would be palindromic in some other bases as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 ___Thanks C1ay! I love the trivial case, that red-headed step child of number theory! Long live base two Katabataks & one is not only prime but perfect! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Mind Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Love the picture Turtle. That little kid (you)... with the gun... It just cracks me up :circle::):rant:... you know what? That was worthy enough, here's a FOURTH smiley (never done before by me, standard is three;)) ...:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Mind Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Well, in base 1897 I think it would be written 11. I'm sure it would be palindromic in some other bases as well. Each place value to the left is equal to 1897 times the place value to the right which implies that each place value to the right is equal to the place value to the left divided by 1897. It was up to the context of the number to determine where the place values began. Also, the place values may be fractions of base 1897 numbers, ie. 1/1897, 1/3598609, etcSo 1898/1897=1.0005271481286... blah, blah, blahAm I wrong somewhere?Orrrrrrr... Do I finally get to put a tally on my sheet saying that I proved C1ay wrong :circle:?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 ___Gorsh guys :o . :circle: :eek: :) :rant: Â ___C1ay is correct on this one Dark Mind. In the base 1897 system the first column is the ones column (always for any base as we here mean it), the second column is the 1897's column, the third the 3598609's. etc. More simply the first is 1897^0, then 1897^1, then 1897^2, etc. So, 1898 is written placing 1 in the second column with value 1897, subtract 1898-1897 =1 & that is the value in the ones column. Keeping in mind that using base 1897 reguires 1896 seprate symbols plus the zero. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Mind Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Darn, I should've known I was wrong. Oh well. I'll find another base that would make it a palindrome... eventually. :circle:Â Base 26? No.Base 745? No.Base 567? No.Base 98 ? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted August 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Did Buffy just pull a joke on me? :rant: :circle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Mind Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 This is a joke that only Alexander will probably get: "smalldatetime" handles the years 1900 thru 2079, "datetime" handles 1753 to 9999....so it goes back far enuf to handle the year that Turtle was born in... :circle: Â Cheers!BuffyIf you mean this, then... Yes :rant:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Mind Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Wasn't it his birthday a few days ago? ...And a few days before that, and a few days before that, and a couple of days before that, and... You make me wonder sometimes, Turtle :xx:.

Tormod Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Turtle is endowed with perpetual birthdays with just enough time in between to recover from the hangovers. It's a scientific mystery on a grand scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
