@potmeklecbohdan Yes, we're striking back!

It’s definitely way better here than on NowWhat, I can say

If 6 was 9 then…

@guigirl Whoaaa, too much Math! :runningaway:

A Former User

@doctorg Actually there is an emoji for that (I didn’t expect it to)

@potmeklecbohdan I meant: running away, without such stinky gas

I always remember this when thinking about the answer.

I remember some computer language I was looking into, Pilot or some such, the program didn't really come with a manual though so I decided to look at a hex dump for keywords. So buried in the code I find that one of the keywords is "What is the meaning of life". If you type that in at the command prompt ... well, you know what it does,

@guigirl
I was obviously thinking of The Empire strikes back.

Solve as quickly as possible:
1×2×3×4×5×6×7×8×9×0=?

Crimsonshade

You'd be surprised. Actually I think the test here would be how quickly someone DOES solve it - anyone who solves that in less than a second is probably not human

@guigirl Beep boop. Boop beep?
(Medal to the first person who gets the reference!)

@guigirl My post was meant as «Yes, you're right, I was thinking of The Empire…» But we were wrong cause you were thinking of Gremlins (Return of The Jedi?) & I didn't even notice it . So let's stick to HHGTTG & MP…

hlehyaric

@guigirl We should not venture outside HHGTTG & MP. It's far too complicated.

hlehyaric

@guigirl Aaargh! I forgot about Dr Who (actually, I don't know that TV show).

hlehyaric

@guigirl said in six × nine = ?:

It's a lifestyle!

I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know.

hlehyaric

@guigirl You beat me. I was about to take a glimpse at that page…

hlehyaric

There's an interesting blog post featured on that very page:

@crimsonshade You are presuming that they haven't seen it before.

Mind you, solving the question I first thought it was would still take <5 seconds, as I've only memorized factorials up to 7. Multiplying by 8 and then 9 in my head is simple, and multiplying by 10 trivial.. But then again, once you realize that's not a 10 the problem just ... disappears.
