diqrtvpe, you're off by one. Chinese mains voltage is 220, not 221 >_>
Also, nice ref, Lecter :D Shame it turned out to be less adequate than the military bigheads thought (AFAIK, some people are still happier with 7.62

Supplying missing reference:


And for the new one: Sum of the cube of four consecutive integers <10.

Eh, I prefer a bolt action in .300 Win-Mag anyway. Thinking about picking up a .338 Lapua too, instead of a .50 BMG.

On topic: A certain Swiss-German handgun.

'delta' is an angle here. I suppose using the greek letter would cause confusion. I would have used gamma, but hey...

Yeah, I realize that. Spelling it out is even more confusing than using the character.

Meta: actually, tosh, the Chinese Mains post was the 221st post. The top of each page is always a '1,' and at least for me yours was the top of the page. The current number is 233.

Post number != count number, at least until now. Especially since pagination is not traceable when replying. We can make it a standard, but that would leave out numbers, and that would, in turn, be unprofessional, since they are non-negligible (this being an enumeration of all positive integers including 0).

I'll humor you, though.

2 to the most important rule.

We can do without arbitrary non-negative integers, as long as we have 0, 1, and all the primes.

I created the thread with the intent that post number == count number, and it has at least seemed to mostly go in that direction (with a few unintentional errors). I did make the mistake of talking about the thread in that other thread about off-topicness in threads, and that led to somewhat more off-topic sniping and less quality posting. But that doesn't matter, because there is always a way to get from a post to the number required! Imagination is our thunderbird!

Oh, and flava Flavian.

Rgr that! Will conform to post count == number count.

Oddly enough, the number of questions available why humans have sex.
