Is that the Fibonacci sequence?

Yep. It's also how fast the rabbits fuck.

I love math geekery.

This one does not ring a bell. Natural log and Pi are all I am picking out. What is it?

I watched NOVA last night. It said Stars (like our Sun) die out. The last Stars will be 'Red Dwarfs'. After that, the Universe becomes a very cold and dark place. Somewhat of a bleak scenario.

I agree that it was really bad. The metric system is superior.

You forgot 79, one of the most important numbers in the universe..

Carding a 79 pretty much makes my whole summer.
Never did better than 81 [at least never without cheating at all] this year, and at my age, I don't exactly get better year to year.
In 2019, I did it four times. 2020 season was lost to covid.

May have to change the magic number to something a little bigger next year.
Not that I'm of any age to be making plans for "next year."

Also the rest of the world that teaches children the metric system fare way better in mathematics and measurements than America.

I know you know why.

Not when it comes to our solar system.

'69'. No one mentioned 69. Isn't 69 an important number? How did that get left out? (APL has really dropped the ball on this one)

6 + 9 = 15
6 * 9 = 54

Hmm nothing particularly interesting with that number except for the Astrologers and Numerologists.

HOLY SHIT!!!! W-w-wait a minute!!!!

15 + 54 = 69!

As a guy, I have 214 committed to memory, because I would never hear the end of it if I forget valentine's day

The English system is really dumb. Why are there 5,280 feet in a mile?

Once I've memorized many digits in pi. Now as an oldfart I've forgotten. LOL.

I have no clue how he does this.
