Re: What's special about your team number?

When we were painting our numbers on our Robot we only had to cut 2 numbers out instead of 3 or 4. (Beat that!) 2226

Re: What's special about your team number?

33^2 = 1089

Add two numbers together and always end with 1089 for a result
Here's how:

1) Pick a three digit number. The three numbers used must be different. i.e. 123
2) Reverse that number. 123 becomes 321
3) Take the smallest three digit number from the largest. 321 - 123 = 198
4) Take the answer and reverse that number. 198 becomes 891
5) Add that number to the answer of the subtraction. 891 + 198 = 1089

Re: What's special about your team number?

48 is the number of Jimmie Johnson's car. We pwn all of NASCAR.

It's also the only integer between 47 and 49. We're special like that.

Oh man.. lol I always tend to look at my computer clock right at 2:28 most days waiting for those break bells to sound to take mine. Weird.
more 228 stuff Art posted a while back as well: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...0&postcount=13


Anyways, as for 237, it pwns all. lol Among being the coolest number in many of our lives on the team there are SOOOO many pop culture references to the number 237.

From wikipedia:

Two hundred thirty-seven 237 = 3·79
Two hundred thirty-seven - 237 is the hotel room number of the dead woman in The Shining.
Two hundred thirty-seven - 237 is the number of Red's cell in The Shawshank Redemption.
Two hundred thirty-seven - 237 is the amount of money the four kids collected in Stand By Me.
Two hundred thirty-seven - 237 is the decimal value of Ed.
Two hundred thirty-seven - 237 is the name of a song by the band Fear Before The March Of Flames.
Two hundred thirty-seven - AFX 237 V7 is the name of a song by the Aphex Twin.

Along with some other things I have picked up on along the way (most of which reference back to the movie The Shining in some way or another.

The Blue man group's Rock Concert Movement 237 is: Taking the audience on a Jungian journey into the collective unconscious, using the shadow as a metaphor for the primal self that gets repressed by the modern persona and also by using an underground setting and labyrinth office design to represent both the depths of the pysche and the dungeon-like isolation of our increasingly mechanistic society which prevents people from finding satisfying work or meaningful connections with others.

There is a band who just played their last concert on 2/3/07 in NYC Called Room 237. Hard Rock/Metal music.

You can find the number 237 anywhere.
http://podquard.multiply.com/photos/album/4 <-- The Proof

There is an awesome Robot Team from CT with the number 237 as well.

Re: What's special about your team number?

971 is PRIME!!! it's not on that list though, so I don't know if there's anything else

190 is the largest number with the property that it and its distinct prime factors are palindromic in Roman numerals

sweet!

Re: What's special about your team number?

1529 is divisible by every real number known to man. Given, sometimes you'll come up with some funky decimals, but it works!

Also, I was born on the 19th, and my wife was born on 5/2, so 1529 is sort of like me giving my wife a hug.

1+5+2+9 = 22
CyberCardsFIRSTChamps! = 22 characters

Re: What's special about your team number?

I once saw our team number on spaceweather.com
It said:
On 15 July 2006 there were 865 known Potentially
Hazardous Asteroids
A dangerous number indeed.

Re: What's special about your team number?

604 is the integration of 3x^2, from 5 to 9.

f(x) = 3x^2
F(x) = x^3
F(x) = (9)^3 - (5)^3
F(x) = 604
