TDunc Posted November 30, 2014 #1 Posted November 30, 2014 Ok, I'm bored.... 8549176320 Without looking on the internet, what is unique about the above number. First one to post without cheating wins the opportunity to get in your car and go get some ice cream. You must pay your own bill. (you are the one eating the ice cream by the way) This kept the kids in my class busy for the entire day Tuesday. Yippee!
kevin-vic-b.c. Posted November 30, 2014 #2 Posted November 30, 2014 I know but I cheated.... like I did with most of my school work The internet is wonderful !!!!!
Pegasus1300 Posted December 1, 2014 #3 Posted December 1, 2014 OK so I am not as bright as your class,but after 12 hours mulling over this,the only thing I can see is that if you spell the numbers out they are in alphabetical order.
Eck Posted December 1, 2014 #4 Posted December 1, 2014 Sure am glad I graduated years ago......Things they teach now a days is a lot harder...like when was the last time you solved exponential and radical expressions and equations, using scientific notation and significant figures. Yea man, as if that was something I was going to use or need all my life... Still cant understand why we had to learn it though..
Flyinfool Posted December 1, 2014 #5 Posted December 1, 2014 There are several unique/ interesting things about this number. It is the only number equal to 8549176320. It contains all digits from 0 thru 9 and only uses each one once. None of the digits are in numerical order. Going by the spelled names of each digit they are in alphabetical order. If you add all of the digits together they equal 45. If you take 8549176320 and multiply by 9 then add all of the digits of that number together, then add all of the digits of the new number together it will equal 9. If you factor it out it is equal to 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 61843. OK I was bored toooo.......

But the best number.....

It should have read FlyinFool...... Skydoc... only one thing to say.....DANG SON! And I thought I was bored. Lol Edited December 4, 2014 by TDunc
Pegasus1300 Posted December 1, 2014 #8 Posted December 1, 2014 Actually since Jeff gave a far more complete answer I will defer to him,tho I may still get some Ice Cream anyway. I see the stores here have my favorite kind in for the holidays,candy cane.
Flyinfool Posted December 2, 2014 #9 Posted December 2, 2014 To late, I already went for ice cream and ate it all up. Remember I was bored tooooo...... There is nothing like going to Leons for ice cream and sitting outside in 10 deg F eating it. And I was not the only one there. Their ice cream is so good you will see people there even at -30 deg F.
venturesome Posted December 2, 2014 #10 Posted December 2, 2014 I was going to get some ice cream and bring it home to eat, but it is so hot outside, I was afraid it would melt before I got it home! :rotf:

cowpuc Posted December 12, 2014 #12 Posted December 12, 2014 Ok, I'm bored.... 8549176320 Without looking on the internet, what is unique about the above number. First one to post without cheating wins the opportunity to get in your car and go get some ice cream. You must pay your own bill. (you are the one eating the ice cream by the way) This kept the kids in my class busy for the entire day Tuesday. Yippee! The police detective that was interrogating me today said I probably would not have gotten into trouble for dialing 854-917-6320 and talking to the young lady who answered the phone if I wouldnt have asked if there was something "unique" about her numbers... TDunc,, I told him about this thread and that I highly doubted that you had prior knowledge of this particular number belonging to a young single policewoman... They did let me off BUT,, when I asked about buying me an ice cream cone for all my troubles, the officer suggested that I talk with you about settling up with that. He gave me another unique number I can call that, according to him,, if I left your name on it (I didnt give him your name at my interrogation) it would cost you wayyyyy more than an ice cream cone so you purchasing the ice cream might be the best way to handle this........ Banana Nut ordered from Leatherby's in Sacramento California would be best.....
