How do you say your team number?
 
After spending yet another night watching videos of other teams I noticed something mildly interesting. There is a certain like, protocol for how to say certain team's numbers. For example, certain team numbers that have 4 digits are often split by First 2 digit number / Second 2 digit number like Twelve Sixty-six. However if the 3rd digit of a team's number is a 0, I noticed that they often will instead say "o" as in like "02".

I also noticed with 3 digit team numbers they're commonly said as One digit / One Digit / One digit like three six five; but i've also seen things like nine eighty seven. In certain occasions where the number ends in 2 0's I've additionally seen one hundred.

How do you say your team's number?

I usually say: 11
Or I say it backwards: 11
Have not yet had need to refer to it as equals =.
Or double back whack \\ or for that matter double front whack //.

We can put some spin on this if you like:
11...//...=...\\...11...//...=...\\...11

You should say "team 3" (binary, get it? :P)

We say
twelve ninety-six

What not too many people remember is that we used to be Team 8 way back at the start in 1997. Then the next year it was changed to 11 to eliminate some sort of conflict. So oddly:

8...00...8...00...

I'd use % but I can't easily get the reverse at the moment.

It's a conspiracy :ahh:

On our team's name note, allow me to correct my earlier post:

We say 1 of 3 names:

twelve ninety-six

thirty-six squared

six to the fourth

6^4=36^2=1296
