I'm beyond curious now, I gotta know jay.

First known approximation of the inverse of the golden ratio was in 1597?

There's been a 101 replies, I'm probably too late to the party. Unless, we are not limited to whole numbers. In that case, I seem to have an infinite amount of time.

Countably infinite if you stick to rational numbers. Not countably infinite if you don't.

Since it's the solution to ø -1 = 1/ø it shouldn't have been too taxing to figure it out exactly.

??? I just don't get it.

 

[Brewmenn]

42. That's always the answer.

??? I just don't get it.

The golden mean:

ø = 1/2 + sqrt(5)/2 = 1.61803398874989

obtained by solving 1/ø = ø - 1

i.e. ø^2 - ø -1 = 0

1/ø = ø - 1 = 0.61803398874989

OK I am not going to revile WHY I wanted the numbers but I WILL tell how I got them. Each number I wanted to be picked BUY YOU ALL at random.

MASONSJAX.... care to tell them how I chose the number since you nailed it and stopped the madness?

Cheers

It's kinda fun to let everyone guess

I tried to drop a few subtle hints along the way once I realized what was happening. Between those hints and taking a peek at the posts containing chosen numbers should be enough to solve the mystery.

Misspellings, random capitalizations . . . could this post be part of the riddle? I feel like I'm in The DaVinci Code.

Dang! I figured out it wasn't the number, it had something to do with the post. I just couldn't figure out what. Well, I guess we still get to see where this is going.

They were around 6 or 7 on my computer? I never would have guessed it had anything to do with the end of the day.

Uou must have your time zone set wrong. Check the time settings under your user control panel.
