22 if we use a Pascal-ish type of pattern with the deltas
19 if we use a linear additive expansion
14 if we use a 3n-1 expansion
....
ok im really bored :P


+5, +3, +1, and then you'll get an endless decimal
wth?

Easy. Requires logic. Odd numbers decreasing by two

eg: 19, 17, 15, 13, 11, 9

In this suite, from the first to the second, you add 5. From the second to the third, you add 3. Obviously, from the third to the missing number, you add 1.

3, 8, 11, 12
Congratualtions but how is it an endless decimal?

I think it would be -1, since there is no division. I think I added this one for no reason
if anything, it would be -2 as 1 -3 = -2

if anything, it would be -2 as 1 -3 = -2
sorry, that's right, it's -2 two each time.

3, 8, 11,

3 to 8 = 5, 8 to 11 = 3, hence 11 to ? = 8, and next will be ?

that'll keep you guessing huh?

go on, your turn

3 to 8 = 5, 8 to 11 = 3, hence 11 to ? = 8, and next will be ?
Isnt that just a basic linear expansion?

but it got you guys thinking right?

AainaA
03-09-2005, 03:41 AM
agreed. ;)

Yeah right - since when have you agreed to thinking being tedious? :D
zkiller
03-09-2005, 10:51 AM
meh... i've got a whole lot of lazy that you don't even know about yet. :p
AainaA
03-09-2005, 11:20 AM
i know i know... you've got a tetraton of it stashed somewhere in hannover... or is it elsewhere? ;)
zkiller
03-09-2005, 02:30 PM
meh... hannover is a place to stash things i want nothing to do with. not much a fan of northern germany as you know. to liberal, to flat and to cold. i take my stash of lazyness ness with me where ever i go. :)

oh gawd... you don't have to try to influence any of us into your casbah of bohemian lifestyle :P
zkiller
03-12-2005, 03:20 PM
lol... i be to lazy to do so anyways. :shrug:
AainaA
03-12-2005, 06:26 PM
gees... i'm lazier than garfield - now how can anyone be lazier than that fat cat? you?
zkiller
03-12-2005, 07:12 PM
garfield is cool, but i don't know if we'd get along to well, after all, who's gonna leave the house to buy the lasanje (i still don't know how to spell that word, but it sure does taste good! :)).
AainaA
03-12-2005, 07:22 PM
you cook the lasagne, and you'll do the dishes :D I'm too lazy to even contemplate the idea of going out - maybe I'll just eat it :p
zkiller
03-12-2005, 07:32 PM
i just might do that for you one day... alright if the lasagne is premade? ;)
AainaA
03-12-2005, 07:34 PM
actually its simple to cook it you know... even the pasta is easy to create. Albeit SuZ has loads of experience there.. hmm where is she? Haven't seen her for a long time
zkiller
03-12-2005, 07:39 PM
yeah, but it's much more like me to avoid all the additional work. i like to spend more time eating than cooking. :)
AainaA
03-12-2005, 07:40 PM
yeah right... eating i mean. we'd make a perfect couple - lazy, unmotivated, and ...{fill in the blanks}
zkiller
03-12-2005, 07:44 PM
maybe we'd motivate one another?
AainaA
03-12-2005, 07:47 PM
hahaha... yeah i can imagine...

probable conversation:

A: Schweetie, could you puh-leese pass me the salt
Z: Sure.. oh, but it's... oh there' goes the phone {the salt shaker is near the phone - and A always answer the phone first}
zkiller
03-12-2005, 07:50 PM
lol... come on now, give me more credit than that... *hides cell phone under table* :D :p
AainaA
03-12-2005, 07:53 PM
yeah but its the freaking landline that's ringing... and its closer to you schweetie :p
zkiller
03-12-2005, 07:57 PM
wait a minute... did you take my seat?
AainaA
03-12-2005, 08:05 PM
hahahaha... but that's my favourite chair.. its sooooooo comfy and warm
zkiller
03-12-2005, 08:07 PM
well in that case, you just relaxe dear, i'll get the phone. :)
AainaA
03-12-2005, 08:11 PM
oh you're soooo schweet.. besides, there's the door bell now. I bet its Georgie our patisserie guy downstairs.. he's always baking these delicious chocolate eclairs - you know the ones you like :p
zkiller
03-12-2005, 08:14 PM
combining two of my favorite things is always a good thing! :)

1. food
2. freebies

lol...what's a patisserie though?
AainaA
03-12-2005, 08:19 PM
yeah i know... i think Georgie likes you a lot, he always seem to be bitchy with me around...

oh you know, the guy who bakes all those freebie food downstairs.. baker... somehow he reminds me of tht wicked witch in Hansel + Gratel
zkiller
03-12-2005, 08:24 PM
lol... this georgie guz is starting to scare me.
AainaA
03-12-2005, 08:25 PM
but you've got strong arms, and nice buns. how can you possibly get scared? you're sooo strong :D

I think we're gonna get banned soon - we're really priming up this forum aren't we?
zkiller
03-12-2005, 08:33 PM
meh... it's the best activity this place has had in a while. my arms really aren't all that anymore... i really need to start going to gym or something along those lines.
AainaA
03-12-2005, 08:35 PM
and me too. I walked quite a distance when i was in abu dhabi... one day. never again shall i walk in the hot sun of abu dhabi.. its crazy.. you don't see people on bikes there.. they're all spoilt with their german made cars
zkiller
03-12-2005, 08:38 PM
german made cars are highly overrated and overpriced.
AainaA
03-12-2005, 08:40 PM
yeah especially when they're assembled locally. although the tt is pretty awesome, and sexy esp. that nouvolari..
