Have fun counting, while I continue to win, here in this thread.

I win.

Is "this Pangram" a new one or one you have already posted?

[pdurrant]

I copied it from elsewhere. I haven't posted it here before, but someone else might have done so.

My favourite one used to be "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs", but I think I like "Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex" even better.

Ahhh...so this is a scavenger hunt for the pangram?

[pdurrant]

Ohhhhh.... I see. No, you've misunderstood. The pangram in question is

"This Pangram contains four a's, one b, two c's, one d, thirty e's, six f's, five g's, seven h's, eleven i's, one j, one k, two l's, two m's, eighteen n's, fifteen o's, two p's, one q, five r's, twenty-seven s's, eighteen t's, two u's, seven v's, eight w's, two x's, three y's, & one z."

It's a self-describing pangram. Fun, isn't it?

Meanwhile, here we are again, watching me win.

I win.

Agreed. I'm learning that I have a lot to learn.

I still win though

What's special about 1.90216........?

I know, this isn't the quiz thread, but why not a puzzle or two since we're all here?

BTW,

I win.

I was reading the quiz thread...the math questions that were posted totally boggled my mind...not that I could do much better with the rest of the non-math quizzes ( without using Google )

Does it have something to do with a diameter or radius?

Oh...BTW

I win.

[pdurrant]

No, it's a result from number theory. Here, have another clue: to do with prime numbers.

Oh, and

I win.

[TGS]

Now then, let's see...

[pdurrant]

Yes, exactly so. It's the number to which the sum of the reciprocals of all the primes in prime pairs converges. Why is it about 1.9? It's just so.

Similarly, I'm going to be the last to post here. It's just so.

I win.

[TGS]

Well, either that or something else. And I think something else.

[pdurrant]

Here and now, I have the last post.

I win.
