Am I the only one who doesn't understand this? No, because I'm never the only one.
Seriously, can someone fill me in? I don't understand why everyone is OMGAWSUM'd...

Or perhaps Deep Thought had a rounding error and it was actually the ultimate answer that was slightly off.Imsety said:
"1337" or "l33t" was slang roughly equivalent to "noob". L33tspeak was any of a number of simplistic ciphers used by l33t people in an attempt t0 m4k3 th3ms3lv35 l00k 4w350m3.Borntolose said:

Also, something similar. 42 days = 10! seconds. But that's not quite as amazing. Although it is exactly 42.
At least we now have proof that the universe was created for and possibly by the nerdish kind. I cannot disagree with such perfection.
Pi is an awesome number. According to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (which is a book of almost biblical importance to me and people like me) the answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42 (go read it if you're still confused). And 1337 is 1337speak for elite, and that's probably the most well known example of 1337speak on the internet. Anything else you need to know?StarStruckStrumpets said:
i dont believe this, there are an infinite number of digits in pi, you cant multiply it into an integer
please tell me thats a typo, in no possible way could 10 seconds make up 42 daysDarthFennec said:
I knew the 1337 thing, and if you're on about Pi as in 3.14 (approximation) then yes I got that. It was mainly the 42 thing that confused me.DarthFennec said:
I think the question still remains though, why do we care? Are we trying to surmise that 1337speak and Mathematics are all you need to open life's console and start spawning flaming Cthulhu's in a random continent?
That's why there's an exclamation mark after the ten. When you see 10! in math, it means 10 factorial, which means 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1. Obviously you haven't covered that yet in your math classes.interspark said:
Not necessarily. I'm just a math geek, I do advanced calculus for fun when I'm bored, and any references I can find in math to other things I hold dear are awesome.StarStruckStrumpets said:
