Puzzles with numbers and things

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

[snookersfun]

Yeah! long dance

had I only known about expansions... , guess I did it the hard way again...

Congratulations, snookersfun!

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

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.

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

I take it you like this question, Mitsuko!

The question is too confusing for me, I could even start to work out an answer

[snookersfun]

OK lunch break, give me some time then... I'll be back

[davis_greatest]

Get rid of the 94 at the start. Then you have most of the number, but missing the last few digits...

[snookersfun]

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

[davis_greatest]

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)!

[snookersfun]

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...

There's some good stuff in the middle though

just great! Are you sure? Just to be sure, I am looking for the original # which I then have to multiply by 1.5

[davis_greatest]

I take it you like this question, Mitsuko!
