er, you're right.... I was just looking at the column number on my program rather than counting it all... guess I forgot to subtract two for the "2." characters...
so the pattern seems to be:
f(1) -> place value 1
f(2) -> place value 5
f(3) -> place value 23
f(4) -> place value 99
There goes my prime number theory... any other ideas? Anyone think the "Bobsyouruncle" part might have anything to do with the puzzle? Bobsyouruncle.com seems to be a gift card company based in Boston... the website says the phrase is a British phrase coined by 1877 Prime Minister Robert Cecil's nephew... anyone know if its some obscure nerd-culture reference?

On a completely irrelavent note, this post ruined that cool "Posts: 666" underneath my name ;(
