History, Mathematics, Humor This is better explained: I especially like 2. Challenge: let’s go for a 24 hour clock…. time doesn’t really want to a.m or p.m., does it? 8, 13, 21…. all can be expressed as F7, F8, F9…. assuming that F1=0…. you have to start somewhere…. somew here at 0 and somew=0.The Geek Clock($25) for really geek, where all the numerals have been replaced by the equivalent notation, if you can solve them all.
12 - the cubed root of 1728
1 - Legendre’s constant is a mathematical constant occurring in a formula conjectured by Adrien-Marie Legendre to capture the asymptotic behavior of the prime-counting function. Its value is now known to be exactly 1.
2 - A joke in the math world: An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer. The bartender says, “You’re all idiots,” and pours two beers.
3 - A unicode character XML “numeric character reference.”
4 - Modular arithmetic, also known as clock arithmetic, is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers “wrap around” after they reach a certain value.
5 - The Golden Mean…reworked a little.
6 - Three factorial (3*2*1=6)
7 - Repeating decimal that rounds up to 7.
8 - Graphical representation of binary code.
9 - An example of a base-4 number, which uses the digits 0, 1, 2 and 3 to represent any real number.
10 - A Binomial Coefficient
11 An example of Hexadecimal encoding.via (likecool)
