Off TopicClosed

So, the current record for longest thread ever in the Logos forums stands at 624 posts.

The thread that holds second place is rapidly closing in for the title and leads the third longest thread by a country mile. (Seriously: Meet and Greet (plus sale) is out of this world!)

We thought it'd be fun to see if we could try to break the current record of 624 posts 674 posts...even though we're now in the final half of Forum Week.

 

So, here's the plan: post anything you want  right in this thread....it doesn't matter how off-topic or, for the benefit of certain unnamed pup...er...people, useless the comment is.

 

Only two caveats:

  1. Everything posted must be characterized by love,
    courtesy, respect, and kindness.
  2. Though the Logos forums are, overall, community-moderated, Logos reserves the right in this case to lock or delete this thread (or portions of it) if it gets out of hand. Please keep it fun and positive for everyone.

 

There you go. Nothing more to it. Have fun!

    The Beauty of Mathematics and the Love of God! This is TOO cool!  


    Just the math part is good enough, the end is even better.  

    I bet you will NOT be able to read it without sending it on to at least one other person!
     


    Beauty of Mathematics!!!!!!!


    1 x 8 + 1= 9
    12 x 8 + 2= 98
    123 x 8 + 3= 987
    1234 x 8 + 4= 9876
    12345 x 8 + 5= 98765
    123456 x 8 + 6= 987654
    1234567 x 8 + 7= 9876543
    12345678 x 8 + 8= 98765432
    123456789 x 8 + 9= 987654321

    1 x 9 + 2 = 11
    12 x 9 + 3 = 111
    123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
    1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
    12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
    123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
    1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
    12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
    123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

    9 x 9 + 7 = 88
    98 x 9 + 6 = 888
    987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
    9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
    98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
    987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
    9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
    98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

    Brilliant, isn't it?

    And look at this symmetry:

    1 x 1 = 1
    11 x 11 = 121
    111 x 111 = 12321
    1111 x 1111 = 1234321
    11111 x 11111 = 123454321
    111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
    1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
    11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
    111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321


    Mind Boggling...

       
    Now, take a look at this...

    101%

    From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

    What Equals 100%?

    What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

    Ever wonder about those people who say they
    are giving more than 100%?

    We have all been in situations where someone wants you to


    GIVE OVER 100%...

    How about ACHIEVING 101%?

    What equals 100%in life?

    Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
    answer these questions:

    If:

    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

    Is represented as:

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

    Then:

    H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K


    8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

    And:

    K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E


    11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

    But:

    A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E


    1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

    THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

    L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
    12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

    Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

    While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
    get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

    If you find this interesting share it with your friends
    & loved ones.

                                 Have a nice day & God bless you

    Yes, that's 159,628 answers on 7,982 pages, and viewed 2,553,628 times. It's from the Swedish MacWorld forum.

    The same forum actually has a thread called "The World's Longest Thread" (except in Swedish), but that's only got 27,767 answers, so it's got a bit left to live up to it's name... There's also a 34.730 answers thread in between, and maybe some others as well. So I'm afraid Logos is more than a little behind. [:P]

    Unless,    maybe,   No!   It couldn't be Stephen foresaw the propensity of the "regulars" posting too many responses in the "Meet & Greet" thread. The final tally in that thread will be skewed by the fact not all posts were introductory ("Meet") but they are at least  welcoming ("Greet".)
