What could be so hard. It's a multiple-choice test for Pete's sake.

this problem

Postby peterliang » Tue Apr 24, 2007 8:46 pm

Our math club had a math relay today, and one of the problems was something along the lines of

the sum of the first 144 digits of pi after the decimal + mega joules + M[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]

i dont remember the letter before the Omega but i think it was M.
Now....we didn't have a computer, so how could this be solved

Joules are used in math? A joule is a physical unit.

I don't think I understand the problem...lol.

lol i dont know , i think our math teacher went crazy, disregard the joules,

how wud u get the sum and what is the omega thing

Maybe the M[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] is mega ohms? I'm just guessing that since joules are mentioned in the problem. Joules and ohms are related via Joule heating.

And for the first 144 digits...memorize? :P No other idea how, lol.

Oh, you are allowed a calculator?

Well....if you wanted a very slow way to find out 144 digits of pi, you could use [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] (ad infinitum).

To find more digits of pi then your calculator might display, you can truncate off the first few digits by editing the series appropriately.

A more rapidly converging series is Ramanujan's:

[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] (courtesy of Wikipedia).

uhhh i think...im not sure

let me check yep 666

when i was researching happy numbers, i clicked around

and pi is an evil number because its first 144 digits sum to 666 :)

ah u are right, the hint that our teacher gave us was that it was the "COOLEST" number.

Haha. 666. Crazy stuff. hah. Pi an evil number? HAHAHA. That should be on the numbersense test. That would be crunkola.

Lol. So 666 is an abundant number, evil number, triangular number, triangular square, doubly triangular number, and a palindrome. Haha. I like learning weird things. This is actually quite interesting. Who would go through so much trouble to classify a number though? haha.

"The full name of former U.S. President Ronald Wilson Reagan contains six letters in each of his three names. This caused a few numerologists to believe that Reagan was in fact the antichrist, such as Gary D. Blevins. Additionally, when Reagan moved to California following the end of his presidency, he asked that his house number be changed from 666 to 668." - Wikipedia

Thats weird.

Yea, there isn't a good easy method for summing digits of [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]. I heard that the sum is 666 somewhere before also. It was just a test of trivia.
