-seven one
-1024 was in hexadecimal
-3176 was in roman numerals

After the first few rounds, the audience pretty much stopped paying attention.

I read "eighty-two nine" but my brain read nineteen. 8219? 8219?!? I havn't been out of FIRST that lo... Oh. 829... The heart attack I just had...

"Two - Four - Six - Eight"
Sometimes we have to set the MC's straight :)

Re: How do you say your team number?
 
Nine-Ten, pretty much exclusively.

We use nine-one-oh for one specific cheer though, because it sounds better.

449 is, without exception, "four four nine."

4464 uses both "forty-four sixty-four" and "four four six four," with the latter being more common

In almost all circumstances, we are team Twenty-two Twenty (mostly because it's awesome for cheering). Except when we're explaining numbering to sponsors. We have a couple of team members who like "deux-deux-deux cero" though.

That is awesome. I never learned how to count past ten in Hebrew. I really enjoy getting to understand the structure of how numbers are grouped up in other languages.


For me:
Nineteen Twenty Three,
except for one cheer where we use One-Nine-Two-Three.

I think the pattern's pretty clear here.

Over the past and present:

Twelve Ninety-Three
Sixteen Eighteen (except the last year...)
Twenty-Eight Fifteen
Forty-Nine Oh-One

First, I ain't never been too good at homework - ask any teacher I've ever had.

Second, the question wasn't how we introduce our team.. it was how do we say our number. :)

There's really a thread on this?

For the record, it's definitely not "team one hundred." We prefer "team ten zero," or, if you simply must, "team one-oh-zero"

What is scarier is that it has gotten nearly 90 posts in just 12 hours, over 1 month before kickoff...

Re: How do you say your team number?
 
i have noticed that manly three digit team numbers are either the first number followed by the last two together like
254 two-fifty-four
111 one-eleven
but i have seen some teams just list there numbers like
525 five-two-five
987 nine-eight-seven
696 six-nine-six

Forty-three Twenty-two.

But, Four-Three-Two-Two rolls off the tongue pretty nicely also.

Connerd 25-11-2013 23:18

Re: How do you say your team number?
 
We just do three-two-four-five. That seems to be common...
