dee_62 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Knew five, got six. Guess-o-meter as useless as the bloody Villa. I was at that game tonight. Villa were very, very poor. (Could still have got a pen just on full time though - need to see it on tv though) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I thought it was a pen. We didn't deserve a draw though. Diabolical. Anyway, don't want to get this thread away from the quiz, apologies all! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eckthearab Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 3rd in a row solid if unspectacular [emoji6]Wrong with NASDAQ, Aussie career soldier and Stuart Woods. Guessed "Alfie" and had a hunch for Black Prince 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Right 6. It should have been 7 if they had phrased the NASDAQ question properly. Nothing to do with my inability to read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Good luck with the exams Deej! Although you really need to get your priorities straight! So, in the cup replay, I asked the question: In mathematics (and in particular, the methods of zeta function regularization and Ramanujan summation), the infinite series of natural numbers, 1+2+3+4 (all the way up to infinity) is given a finite value... or to put it another way.... adding every integer together between 1 and infinity returns what number? Well I think it's fair to say that both Deej and Leeds Saint enjoyed the question immensely. The correct answer is, of course, -1/12. Here's a Wikipedia article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_%2B_2_%2B_3_%2B_4_%2B_⋯ And if you don't understand that (i.e. if you're human), here's a video which shows the proof! So the results! Deej went with a 1googol, or 1 with a 100 zeros, or 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Leeds Saint plumped for 1234567890987654321 So Leeds Saint was far closer and progresses to the next round! (A thousand sorries).... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
