Thanks! Just woke up a few mins ago and got to see the change here in CST. :)
My first discovery -6/6/66- writing it at the R-top of a page in the 6th grade. Have noted unique dates ever since. BTW, is there a single word that capsulizes these repeating numerics???

Juice said...

Numeric singularity? Thanks google.

Dude, I lifted that Japanese Toilet from you and did HT you and it went totally viral on iOTW with the help of HotAir linking to it... Sorry... I didn't think it would go so viral...

Alpha Maser said...

I meant did NOT HT you sorry.. Can't type...

which Japanese Toilet?

101010 is of course binary for 42, which is the answer to Life, the Universe, and everything.

Also of course,
It is a Catalan number. Consequently; 42 is the number of noncrossing partitions of a set of five elements, the number of triangulations of a heptagon, the number of rooted ordered binary trees with six leaves, the number of ways in which five pairs of nested parentheses can be arranged, etc.

The proof is left to reader (I always loved seeing that statement in my calc books).

Dang Juice, to answer your question, no there is no single word. The closest is recurring decimal. I'd suggest Obamathon, but that'd be an abomination to pure mathematics.

Juice said...

LOL, Alear!
Thanks mucho for the "lesson"... of course when it comes to math, your explanation might as well have been a hot air balloon rising above my comprehension. :)

Alear said...

NP there Juice, Rodger's place is nothing but a

"SMART BLOG FOR MATHEMATICIANS"

I put the above in its own paragraph coz Google's an idiot.

Also, this:

"Curmudgeonly & Skeptical is banned by the commie ratbastidds in China"

Turing word: Sometimes they write themselves: "slyci"
