This seems like something jan Misali would make /pos I might try to see how many consecutive numbers I can get it to work for. It seems like a fun challenge

mi olin e jan Misali! Most consecutive numbers is an interesting puzzle, I’m curious to see what you find!

a = -3/80, e = 1, f = 5, g = 8/3, h = 9/10, i = 1, l = 11/3, n = 3, o = 1/3, r = 1, s = 7/3, t = 10/3, u = 12/5, v = 1, w = 9/5, x = 18/7, z = 0 works for -11 through 11. This is the longest consecutive run containing 0, because one of 1, 2, 11, 12 cannot be represented due to the famous anagram "eleven + two = twelve + one".

2:33 "although J and K don't appear in any numbers" making them very good candidates for j = Rayo's number and k = BusyBeaver(64) for the special number kajillion to be well-defined (or maybe not well-, just "defined")

I love this kind of useless problems, esepcially when it's pushed this far. Tipically the kind of questions I ask myself during long cold nights haha Thank you for this sir, it got me captivated all along!

I'm interested in part 2. I love the kind of thinking that comes from these kinds of problems. It gets the mind thinking creatively and about order beyond just numbers, here infusing language.

Also please try this with Chinese numbers as i think it could lead to way more options being possible! (Where you set comma or smthn to +)

@TheGrayCuber 4 ай бұрын

I started working on an updated video with Russian and Korean, but then with Hindi and Chinese I ran into questions about what contitutes a letter and the languages are no longer directly comparable, so I don't plan to continue this series

If you make commas into + signs you could theoretically get quite a few more maybe idk

Interesting problem and really impressive work on your solution! Did you come up with it, or has this previously been explored in any prior literature?

@TheGrayCuber Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I haven’t seen it anywhere. I thought of the idea back in school while playing with the variable feature of a graphing calculator

s=-3 seven(7) - s(-3) = 7-(-3) = 10 seven-s=even 10/5=2 10 is even six(6) - s(-3) = 6-(-3) = 9 six-s=ix ix=9

@parzival-3141 Жыл бұрын

Really interesting video! Also, are there rounding errors in the solutions you've shown? I popped "four" into Desmos and got 8.944. Was trying to solve "thank you for watching" (given 'k' = 1), but Desmos refuses to crunch it and I'm way too inexperienced with complex numbers to do it myself lol!

@TheGrayCuber Жыл бұрын

Aha, thanks for catching this! That is a typo, f’s factor should be 5^50.375 rather than 5^50.875 That means it’s off by the square root of 5, which makes sense since 4*sqrt(5) = 8.944…

11:15 : why there is 'i' in the calcule of 'i' ?

@TheGrayCuber 4 ай бұрын

Ahhhh yes that is confusing. The 'i' on the left is the variable i, while the 'i' on the right is the square root of -1

It's certainly not "more correct" to say "one billion" for 1,000 million. A thousand million is a thousand million. There are multiple scales, a billion is sometimes a million million, you could also call 10^12 "lakh crore"!

@TheGrayCuber Ай бұрын

This is a good point. 'Standard' is a better word than 'correct' for the idea I was trying to explain

This has got to be the craziest mathematical calculation I've ever seen! Impressive though! For some reason, it reminds me of the scene in The Jerk in which Steve Martin explains to his girlfriend while she's sleeping how he figured that the 4 weeks and 3 days they'd spent together had seemed to him like 9 weeks and 5 days, having all the calculations written out.
