Came across this today. Pretty neat:

Beauty of Math!


1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321


1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111


9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?


And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321

That's pretty cool. I love things like this.(not a geek)

Mickey - we've gotta get you a real job! This working 1 hour on Sunday is allowing you too much free time!hehehehe

 

[jlaird]

A real job, shucks I work for wife 24/7 now that I have retired.

It's almost like there is a pattern...or a plan....or a design...an intelligent one at that.

Base 10, fingers 'n toes. From the Ancient Egyptians to Pythagoras to Korean Chisan-Bop... straightforward maths.

It certainly all gets goofy when we get down into the sub-atomic level. If the same human proclivities responsible for the loss of Alexandrian tomes still exists (as it most evidently does), we are doomed to scratch in the dirt like chickens for generations before we have the keys to understanding the real universe.

Ummm... OK... Thanks... I think...

Don't forget the classic from Infinite Math:

1 Infinite + 1 Infinite = 1 Infinite

So, who else besides Mickey understood that?

No need to, Dar. It's binarily blatant. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Now it was the lack of the second parenthesis that got me thinkin' /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif
Binary,base 10,...any of 'em gotta follow rules and patterns! Chaos to order! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/yesnod.gif
