Next Friday is the last day to get your entries in for Greensboro. So, what do you think the attendance will be (of swimmers, that is)? Closest guess gets a :chug: or :wine: from me. Or, for those Forumites who would rather pass on that offer (I am well aware of who you are...), bragging rights. By the way, I still owe Patrick (PWB) for winning last time!
My guess, since this is 2012: 2012 :D
Good one. Graham's Number is another possibility. I'll know I'm on the right track when wookiee and jaadams1 complain about my use of up-arrow notation
I'm already lost in your talk of these strange numbers...what the :censor: is a Graham number, or an Avogadro number? And why does Pi never end??

You're not fooling anyone - you just corrected knelson's typo

Not really. I honestly have no idea what these are...and I'm not going to search the internet to find the answer either.
....as far a knelson's typo, I got lucky, because all I did was copy/paste the name from his entry, minus the 's at the end. :)

Here, this should clear everything up en.wikipedia.org/.../Totally_indescribable_cardinal
Rosters and psych sheets are out! 1,863 swimmers entered. So who wins?
No Lance Armstrong, by the way...
edit: I think The Fortress wins with her guess of 1,799.

Oh, I got it now... :bolt:
yeah right...all I understood was the first three words "In mathematics, a", and then it changed to a foreign language for the remainder of the page.
Or Mersenne prime?
Well that would depend on which one I pick. The little ones (3, 7, 31, and 127) aren't very interesting for Omaha purposes. The next Mersenne after 127 is 8191, which is still over 1000 times less than 8675309. (Side note: where else can you go for calculations involving those two numbers? Nowhere, baby!) The largest known Mersenne prime is 2^43112609 – 1, which is unfathomably huge and may therefore suit my needs. :)
