Count's Counting Game (1,2,4,8,16...)

[Adelheid]

This is an easy addition to the overcrowded games section. Any math novice can join (with a calculator) :nod: :D

All you have to do is double the number that is before you. take the previous number and multiply by 2.

Ready? Here we go!

1

[papayahed]

2 (Fibronacci anyone?)

[Virgil]

4. Did I do that coreectly? :lol:

[papayahed]

8 aw crap that's not fibronacci....I'm just confusing myself now.

[AimusSage]

16. this is just a simple geometric sequence. Fibonnaci works just a tad different, adding up the two number before.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

32 - actually this geometric sequence is the power series of 2, and it won't be too long before we don't need to chatter to get past the 10 character rule.

[AimusSage]

64, it would happen faster if it was a series of 3.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

128 - Or factorials, those boys can really shift!

[papayahed]

256 - yeah but timesing is fun too. Did I just make up a new word? "timesing?"

[white camellia]

6 8 7 1 9 4 7 6 7 3 6 . 0 0

I don't know what is the meaning of doing this math, yet I still did. :goof:

[Xamonas Chegwe]

137,438,953,472 It's pointless and therefore far better than working, I suppose.

[white camellia]

2 7 4 8 7 7 9 0 6 9 4 4 . 0 0

Not better if such counting becomes your work ... :D

This tends to make me precise ... I have to check it carefully before I paste the result ... It's like the fear of going downstairs ... You don't know which stair you might miss that would make you stumble ... :lol:

[Xamonas Chegwe]

549,755,813,888

Or you can cheat and use a calculator! (Doesn't help with the stairs though.) ;)

You're disqualified Virgil - you doubled a number and ended up with 2 less digits - you must be a great engineer! :lol:

[Anon22]

Aww, poor Virg

281,474,976,710,656

Phew... no calculator... hope I'm right :)

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Wrong... actually it was:

:p

[RobinHood3000]

[Anon22]

Well, considering the fact that it was 949 and not 959 the rest would go as follows:

1,125,899,906,842,624

then

2,251,799,813,685,248

then

4,503,599,627,370,496

Amazing how just one number affected a lot of others

Guess I'm disqualificated too - thank you for pointing it out - no more meaning less arithmetic for me. ;)

[Anon22]

Was there really a rule that people would get disqualified though? O.o

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Was there really a rule that people would get disqualified though? O.o

Somewhere there was. Not an official rule but this isn't a maths forum so I guess it counts (or even multiplies). :nod:

[RobinHood3000]

And does it apply for errors carried through?

Oh rats! :lol: I was doing that in my head. Well good luck to the rest of you.

[papayahed]

Carp!! I can't stand the waiting. I. MUST. COUNT.

I must say, her use of the word 'carp' is outstanding.

Xamonas is out as well I think.

Are you guys doing this in your head or are you using a calculator? :confused: :smash: Place your calculators under the hammer please or this game will go on forever. :D

[papayahed]

Are you guys doing this in your head or are you using a calculator? :confused: :smash: Place your calculators under the hammer please or this game will go on forever. :D

I'm doing it by hand - my calculator doesn't go that high. :banana:

[AimusSage]

by hand, it's not that hard, just takes a little while. I write it down in reverse while calculating, then turn it around, and check if I didn't make a mistake.

18,446,744,073,709,551,616

[Jay]

36,893,488,147,419,103,232

Is somebody checking it? I'm not saying it's wrong (or correct for the matter ;)) but how do we know when we've made a mistake? :p

[smilingtearz]

73,786,976,294,838,206,464... aha!

[AimusSage]

147,573,952,589,676,412,928.............

[smilingtearz]

295,147,905,179,352,825,856... hmmm... this seems to take forever...

[papayahed]

2,251,839,813,683,248


Ack!! This one was wrong, we've been crrying the error through!!!

If you want to start from where the error occurred the next number would be:

281,474,976,710,656

[smilingtearz]

562,949,953,421,312

atleast someone bothered to check... good work papaya :nod:.. and :wave: hi !

1,125,899,906,842,624

[Grumbleguts]

2,251,799,813,685,248

[AimusSage]

actually we have not been carrying the error through, if you check the last few numbers you will see they are correct.

[papayahed]

actually we have not been carrying the error through, if you check the last few numbers you will see they are correct.

ok, so where do we start?

[AimusSage]

As far as I'm concerned we can continue where we left of

[hera-on-earth]

Looking at all those numbers!!!! I know I was never good at numbers...and i will continue being so....
