Oops I read it wrong

Local-womanizer

Fair play to someone who is a boards user and was born in the 1900s. Some good computer skills.

111,woop,thats a big one!

galwayrush

Very strange OP, i think you phrased it wrong, apparently we're all 111 LOL

jimmynokia

only one got it right the rest of you need calculators

--LOS--

88 + 23 = 111

GV_NRG

What is the point of this thread? It's not that startling...........it just always adds to 111. Basic maths really.

Its always a bit disconcerting when instructions are presented as a question

true it was interesting to see what reaction there would be as there was arguments on the radio thought it was funny

St.Spodo

If the year 1999 is taken as the number 99, we are now in the year 111. It's really common sense. Therefore, the year you were born ,say 89, and the age you will be in the year 2011(22), will obviously add up to 111.

brummytom

It's bloody obvious


1900+93+18=2011

So of course 2011-1900's going to equal 111. Is it meant to be amazing?*




Yes I did get a grade U in a maths exam last week


Oh snap Spodo!

Procasinator

You all suck at maths.

The answer should always be 111. Wow! How amazing. :rolleyes:

2011 - 1900 = 111

You are effectively adding the years between 1900 and your birth year with the number of years since then.

(Hopefully I won't have not just done whatever the equivalent of Muphry's law of mathematics is)

No it doesn't tell me anything. It's simple maths. 2011 - 1900 = 111, therefore if you take the year you were born and your age you will just end up with 111. This is NOT strange OP.

70 + 41 = 111

Strange but true

im invisible

1. Grab a calculator
2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
3. Multiply by 80
4. Add 1
5. Multiply by 250
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again
8. Subtract 250
9. Divide number by 2


The final sum should be your phone number. How in the hell does this work?!
