Counting Game - A Fun Forum Word Game

In summary, Counting Game is simple. Each person starts with "1" and the next person posts the number following it (2), the next posts the number following it (3) and so on. If an incorrect number is posted, then carry on with the correct number. The game is ended when the player gets to "infinity". If they get there before someone else, they win. If someone else gets there first, they win by counting up from "1". There is also a hint for the next number, but it's not mathmatical.

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

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

I agree just counting natuarl numbers is boring.

Hurray! Moving on:

[tex]\left(e^{3}\right)^{\ln 3}[/tex]

=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.

[tex](e^2)^{ln3}[/tex]

To be lazy :smile:

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

In base 3, it's:

102.

Hey, this doesn't count! no 17 of base n equals 13 of base 10 ! :tongue:
 
  • #55
Ok I used octal
 
  • #56
I'm wrong :grumpy:
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.
