Interesting... it looks like you're missing some digits from the end and you've got some random digits put at the start that shouldn't be there...Originally Posted by snookersfun
There's some good stuff in the middle though

You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

just great! Are you sure? Just to be sure, I am looking for the original # which I then have to multiply by 1.5Originally Posted by davis_greatestInteresting... it looks like you're missing some digits from the end and you've got some random digits put at the start that shouldn't be there...

That's right. So, it's like the 285,714 - where putting the last digit at the start multiplied the whole number by 1½ - except this time you need to put the first digit on the end (in order to multiply the whole number by 1½)!"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

so .... ....94117647058823 is not what you're looking for either? which should have been the result of my above #Comment

Get rid of the 94 at the start. Then you have most of the number, but missing the last few digits..."If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

1176470588235294 hopefully, I ran out of spaces in excell... but beginning and end look good to me nowComment

snookersfun takes the lead!
Congratulations, snookersfun!
Clive did indeed give Petdon an astonishing 1176470588235294 smacks.
If you move the first digit to the end, you get 1764705882352941, which is 1½ times the original number. This is the smallest number that this works for.
The number of smacks I gave Shirty (285714) is the first 6 digits of the decimal expansion of 2/7 = 0.285714…. and if you move the last digit to the start, you get the first 6 digits of the decimal expansion of 3/7 = 0.428571...
1176470588235294 is the first 16 digits of the decimal expansion of 2/17 = 0.1176470588235294…
If you move the first digit to the end, you get the first 16 digits of the decimal expansion of 3/17 = 0.1764705882352941…
SO HERE IS THE SCOREBOARD AFTER ROUND 13
snookersfun……………………….…..5
robert602…………………………………4
abextra……………………………..…...2½
Vidas……………………………………….1½"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

btw. is there a way to not have excell rounding your last digits in such long numbers?Comment

If there is, I would like to know it!Originally Posted by snookersfun"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."
