 What Number Are You?By: ScottN on 2/23/2003; 4:08 AM We've had the how evil, and other fun things...
this quiz by orsa Given what gets posted here, I'd say most would be an irrational number.
 RE: What Number Are You?By: Rachelle King on 2/23/2003; 5:15 PM
this quiz by orsa I have not yet determined whether I think this is a postive or negative thing.
RE: What Number Are You?By: ScottN on 2/24/2003; 4:00 AM Ha! I'm vindicated. Another irrational number! Of course, Richard and Chie had better be irrational (though Richard may wind up as an imaginary :-P)...

this quiz by orsa Yeh baby!
 RE: What Number Are You?By: Evan on 3/2/2003; 2:32 AM Bleck, not only am I a real number, I'm an integer, argghhhhhh!!!!!!!

 RE: What Number Are You?By: Matthew Patterson on 3/2/2003; 8:38 PM Rachelle, e is of course positive. Its approximate value is 2.71828, but it's really another irrational number like pi. ^_^ (There's an infinite series that gives its value, but I don't really feel like figuring out how to do that kind of notation here at the moment.)
RE: What Number Are You?By: ScottN on 3/3/2003; 2:38 AM e = 1 + 1/1! + 1/2! + 1/3! + ... + 1/n! + ...
RE: What Number Are You?By: Chie Theresa Fujioka on 3/3/2003; 4:10 AM e = sum(1 + 1/n)^n n=1 to infinity
 RE: What Number Are You?By: R.A.B. on 3/3/2003; 4:32 AM Not only are there talented writers on this site, but talented mathematicians as well. Talk about versatility.
RE: What Number Are You?By: Matthew Patterson on 3/3/2003; 3:19 PM Following that line, e^x = 1 + x + (x^2)/2! + (x^3)/3! .... (x^n)/n! ... Which, now that I think about it, was probably developed first, since you can easily get e^1 from it.
RE: What Number Are You?By: ScottN on 3/3/2003; 6:21 PM Yeah, I had that but VoU didn't accept my <SUP> tags, so I left it out. That's the Taylor Series expansion for e^x.
RE: What Number Are You?By: Matthew Patterson on 3/4/2003; 12:10 AM Mrah. Who needs superscript, anyway? (I actually find myself writing the carat a lot when I'm doing chemistry or something. Because if I'm raising e to a power that's got the product of two numbers divided by the product of three numbers, I can't really cram all that into the top half of a line of notebook paper. And God help me if there are conversion factors involved. Nernst, I'm looking in your direction.)
 RE: What Number Are You?By: Mark Morgan on 3/4/2003; 12:33 AM Scott: VoU proper has had SUP and SUB since the first time you pointed that out to me. The Cauldron is in its own little world (it's a separate "conversation", which is why it has a separate login). When I created it the HTML Enforcer for the Cauldron didn't include those two tags. Which is a long way of saying they should work now. But of Course I Could be WrongTM.
RE: What Number Are You?By: ScottN on 3/4/2003; 8:29 PM Well, they barfed on it when I tried to post the series. Just a comment. Test: This is x squared: x2 Seems to work now!
RE: What Number Are You?By: ScottN on 3/5/2003; 2:21 PM Chie, I think you mean: e = lim (1 + 1/n)n n -> infinity (Side note: Mark, preview is still messed up for me. Previewing this post took me to http://www.voicesofunreason.com/cauldron/fullThread$58 and http://www.voicesofunreason.com/cauldron/fullThread$62 depending on when I did the preview)

this quiz by orsa It all depends on how you answer the last question.
RE: What Number Are You?By: Mark Morgan on 3/8/2003; 12:32 PM Scott, I'm having similar problems. I'm going to have to write something up for tech support.
RE: What Number Are You?By: R.A.B. on 3/9/2003; 7:12 PM Richard's right. like any other quizzes you could cheat on that one.
RE: What Number Are You?By: Rachelle King on 3/11/2003; 2:27 AM Following that line, e^x = 1 + x + (x^2)/2! + (x^3)/3! .... (x^n)/n! [scratches head]Huh?[/scratches head]
RE: What Number Are You?By: Richard Davidson on 3/11/2003; 10:48 PM Pi are round. Shortbread are square.
RE: What Number Are You?By: ScottN on 3/14/2003; 3:49 AM Rachelle, that's the Taylor Series expansion for ex. If you keep going until n gets infinitely large, and add up the fractions (which get infinitely small, as n gets bigger), you'll eventually wind up with ex. If you set x equal to 1, you'll just get e. It's a math thing.
RE: What Number Are You?By: R.A.B. on 3/14/2003; 11:10 AM Sometimes I wonder what this site is all about. I guess the only word in the english dictionary(synonyms exempted) that could describe VOU is VERSATILITY.
RE: What Number Are You?By: Mark Morgan on 3/19/2003; 10:00 PM I sometimes wonder what this site is all about as well. Too bad I don't have somekinda ultimate authority over the architecture or design of the place. Wait a minute there....
RE: What Number Are You?By: R.A.B. on 3/21/2003; 7:36 AM Uh...whatever you just thought of Mark forget about it. We love the freedom to select any subject we want to talk about here. It would be boring if we just criticized each other's work all the time. Well anyway I guess that's why the Cauldron's here, for that.
RE: What Number Are You?By: R.A.B. on 3/21/2003; 10:23 AM Oh I forgot. I'm with Richard; pi's are round oven-baked food which grandma likes to make.
RE: What Number Are You?By: Richard Davidson on 3/23/2003; 9:36 PM Mark, this is what Voices of Unreason is all about: VOU is a place where minds can drip silently down walls, listening to soft Bach, and under the glow of greasy blue lights. VOU is a place where Light and Dark can come together, have a drink, and maybe a brownie, learning French and Latin and Cantonese. Most of all, VOU is a place where numbers can add up to different sums, depending on who's doing the math. For example, I get 456 + 456 = 7. Does anybody else? I doubt it. I cannot divulge how I arrived at that conclusion, but let's just say if you knew, you'd hold one of the twelve keys to controlling the Universe. Voices of Unreason. It's a tiny, shadowy room in an infentessimally small crack in the internet, where writing is more important than Magpies, or German stockings. This site is an inspiration well. C'mon, admit it, Fujioka's a plant, in your employ, whose job it is to post tiny snippets of the human condition on a plate, forcing all who encounter it to serve bowl after bowl of steamy conscioiusness soup. Why not celebrate what this site really is? A place to WRITE.
RE: What Number Are You?By: R.A.B. on 3/24/2003; 9:31 AM Yes indeed. A place to write anything except porn.

Me? Je suis une plante parce que je suis vert. Je suis une usine d'snippets de l'humanite? Seems like you're obsessing over my minimalistic kicks rich.
