Amateur Quest For Lychrel Numbers
Habberhead writes "Some people are aware of the quest for a palindromic solution for the number 196. Basically any number that doesn't form a palindrome by reversing and adding its digits is known as a Lychrel Number. (Sequence Number A023108 of Sloan's On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences) The number 196 happens to be the first of them. In over a year's worth of time, and more than 2 quadrillion calculations, this guy at www.p196.org has reversed and added the number over 100 MILLION times. His current answer is over 41 million digits long! Apparently he and a few others are also working on a distributed computing program for finding larger and larger Lychrel Numbers. It looks like they have in mind a Seti@Home style program with visible results."
...too much free time!
WTF are you talking about??????
These numbers are good for what?
These people will never get laid.
subject says it all.
I plan to install Slackware off of some floppy disks.
I don't buy a computer based on adds, I go to hardware sites and look at benchmarks and read reviews. People who are too lazy to do this deserve to get ripped off. I don't expect companies to be honest about the quality of their product in any industry and no one else should. I will say this though, if this law suit is won by the customers, I'll be suing Cheer for misleading me into buying their product when I later find out that Tide is clearly better.
This was +5 Informative, and now it's +4 (Moderation Totals: Informative=2, Total=2.). So who moderated this post and then replied to it?

I'm almost sure the answer to all of this has to do with Nature's Harmonious Time Cube.
My deviantArt site
I troll on usenet, breaks up the monotony. Also, it lets me see how the old-timer trolls used to do it back in the day...
Damn, kinda makes me wish it were 1986 again.
Karma: Somewhere between -20 and 50.
Gotta love that...
