Counting Game - A Fun Forum Word Game

Click For 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.

OK, but you were supposed to do number 15.

Can't you people count?

The estimated amount of PFers that can't count.

The correct number in line is:

5

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

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?

The next number is:

8

heartless: start your own thread. Thank you.

I agree just counting natuarl numbers is boring.

Hurray! Moving on:

\left(e^{3}\right)^{\ln 3}

=27 does it not?

quick, change it to e^2!

------------------------------

xth prime where x is the nth prime where n is the first prime raised to the first prime.

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.
 
  • #51
C
10 character limit
 
  • #52
14_8 base 8
 
  • #53
17 base undeclasifed

Hey, this doesn't count! no 17 of base n equals 13 of base 10 ! :-p
 
  • #55
Ok I used octal
 
  • #56
I'm wrong
Didn't notice C, sorry. I don't talk anymore. o:)

I hate to be the wet blanket, but Greg hates free word association threads and this is even worse...

We have enough server bloat as it is, so I'm going to lock the thread.

Sorry.
