Counting Game - A Fun Forum Word Game

AI Thread Summary
The forum discussion revolves around a word game where participants count sequentially, starting from "1." The rules include no double posting and correcting any incorrect numbers posted. The game quickly devolves into playful banter, with users incorporating mathematical expressions and jokes, leading to confusion over the correct sequence. Some participants express dissatisfaction with the strict counting format, suggesting a new game involving patterns instead. Ultimately, the thread is locked due to concerns about server bloat and the chaotic nature of the posts, which stray from the original game structure.

Counting Game

This forum word game is simple. You start of with "1" and the next person posts the number following it (2), the next posts the number following it (3) and so on.

No double posting
If an incorrect number is posted, then carry on with the correct number.

I'll start:

1

mattmns messed up (already?), so I'll continue:

No, no, that doesn't work! Try:

\left\lfloor \mbox{ 2nd zero of } J_1(x) \right\rfloor

Mattara you double posted! You posted 1 and then you posted 2, that, in my opinion, is breaking the rules! The rules which you stated!

Aww crap, you are right! What I wrote is 7y^2 lol.

Actually the next person needs to post "eight", I can't do it because I posted "seven"...
 
  • #16
Alright I will do 8, that is, if I don't screw it up.

\underbrace{1 + 1 + ... + 1}

Recapping, here's what he have so far:

mattara: 1
Rach3: \sqrt{4}
mattmns: \left\lfloor \pi \right\rfloor
Rach3: 3+1
mattmns: e^{i\pi} +3!
Rach3: 2^2\cdot\frac{2+2^{2-2}}{2}
Rach3 correcting mattmns: \left\lfloor \mbox{ 2nd zero of } J_1(x) \right\rfloor
mattmns: \underbrace{1 + 1 + ... + 1}
Rach3: \left(e^{3}\right)^{\ln 3}
mattmns: \sum_{n=1}^4 n

One fortnight per day.

edit: The previous poster deleted his "13".

So now I'll have to edit:

One fortnight per day minus 1 kilogram per million milligrams

The estimated amount of PFers that can't count.

Nah, nah, it's 16.
5 = e ^ {i \pi} + 3!, as already proposed by mattmns.
-------------
16 = \sum_{n = 1} ^ 5 (n) - e ^ {i \pi}

etc.
Then the rules should chaged this theard would no fun if it was like that.

I vote for new rules!
New game:
One may start with any number he/she wants, the next person is to add another number making some kind of geometric/arithmetic/sequential pattern, person who adds a number that doesn't belong to the pattern, loses and is disallowed to participate until the next game. I think it would be more fun.
What do you think?
 
  • #44
The next number is:

8

heartless: start your own thread. Thank you.

I agree just counting natuarl numbers is boring.

quick, change it to e^2!

Hint: The next number is 10 in a non-mathematical non-equation

Yep Rach was wrong, and he was complaining about us? I think it is too late to switch it back! I guess we have to go back to 9, our 9 that is, not Mattara's 9.

(e^2)^{ln3}

To be lazy :smile:

Nah, just counting in natural numbers is boring... Let's continue:
\prod_{i = 1} ^ 3 (i) - 4 e ^ {i \pi} = 10
 
  • #50
so is 11 next?

In base 3, it's:

102.
