See the pattern? What should the number of NDSU's next great QB be?

Warning: This is extremely stupid.

[Hammersmith]

Talk about running out of jersey room. Ben Franklin would be shocked.

[West_River]

What would it take to allow a number 100 in football, might 00 be considered and equal??

[Herd]

The pattern is actually . . . 1,10,11,etc

Therefore the pattern: Add 9, Add 1, Add 9, Add 1.

So our next great QB after Walker will #20. I'll settle for #18 however.

Is there anything in the NCAA rules stating that schools must use Base 10 to represent the numbers?:hide:

The rest of the list for a couple upcoming decades:

100
101
110
111
1000
1001
1010
1011
1100
1101
1110
1111

I thought it was simple binary counting...1,2,3......

[lakesbison]

Mertens 18 . Thats The Ticket. . .

[NDSU_grad]

I was thinking it had something to do with binary also.

[tony]

Oh yeah, I was thinking binary (computer science major, after all) so 100 would be the next one.

Like the t-shirt says, "There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't." Not that I'd ever wear that shirt... I might be a geek but there's no reason to advertise it anymore than I already do.

[Hammersmith]

FRY: Bender, what is it?
BENDER: Whoa, what an awful dream. Ones and zeros everywhere. And I thought I saw a two.
FRY: It was just a dream, Bender. There's no such thing as two.

Unfortunately, I am checking out this blog after two glasses of wine, so I cannot remember the name of the mathematical theorum that applies here. Basically it states that the next number is the sum of the two previous numbers.

So, the next great Bison QB, if that theorum can be applied to NDSU QBs, would be 21.

You had too much wine. :D :p This '2' thing you speak of does not apply here.


100 is the next number. :nod:

[TransAmBison]

If the next qb can hang with the above mentioned three he can wear whatever number he wants as far as I'm concerned!!!!

[SDbison]

I think this thread demonstrates those posting here are going through extreme Bison football withdrawal. Massive doses of old game video, tailgating / game photos and teammaker news taken as needed should help most of you return to normal, but some will not be cured until the start of the 2007 season.
Wow, reading this stuff makes me wonder if some of you already went over the edge. Remember, fans from other team sites often visit this board.

What, you think using the powers of deduction to determine the next quarterback by using binary code is odd? :confused: Inconceivable!!!! I think your logic is one step away from getting yourself involved in a land war in Asia! :D Now, give me a double dose of that medicine you were talking about!!!! :nod:

Now in your case TransAm, I would recommend some additional measures. You seem to be strung up awefully tight and exhibiting all the symptoms of lack of alcohol. August cannot come soon enough for you. Don't worry, Dr Dave will be there soon to administer massive amounts of alcohol. Remember, I will be in Fargo a week before the game and we can get the tailgate bar and beer bong out to make sure all is operational. Man, do you need a drink!

Normally I would question where you got your medical degree, but you are right, you are right. I will take your prescription as directed. Luckily I'm in good with a certain pharmacist!!

I actually watched a replay of the Nebraska-Colorado game from about 10 years ago today on ESPN and an Arena football game today. My wife really likes football but she even looked at me and said" its a tad early in the year for this dont you think"? PL

That's perfectly normal 56BISON. It's OK anytime of the year to seek out a football fix. The problems really arise when you deny yourself.

[TheBisonator]

Oops, wrong thread. D'OH!!!

[Bisonguy]

SDBison- you're lucky because you at least can watch some former Bison right now in Sioux Falls. Some of us have to drive by the Fabulous Fargodome every day, and have to put up with an occasional interview with the coaches on the radio.

i was looking at the 'who's online' section and some guest was looking at it so i clicked on it...

[Tatanka]

The judges were generous on this one. I believe the correct answer to be 100. (which of course is 4 in base ten for all the non-geeks)

Binary numbers go 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110 etc (1,2,3,4,5) - thus the "this could be a problem" title. Yep, explaining doesn't make it any funnier, does it? :)

How about this one:

http://www.hahastop.com/pictures/Calculus.jpg

Calculus is fine but heck if I remember anything about trig (if that's what that "e" thing is from).

Edit: And, no, I didn't have any idea what this check was made out for - the middle part is the problem, is the e to the 2pi?

You would be referring to a definition of the Fibonacci sequence. (1,1,2,3,5,8,...)

[HandoEX]

#11, Dante Perez. Problem solved.
:)

[Bison"FANatic"]

I am no number guy but maybe we look at it like a fibonocci sequence or what ever that is called where you just add the previous two numbers together to get the next.

1,10,11,21,32,53,85

Then we have 4 more numbers to go before we hit triple digits. ;) :D :D

It's made out for $0.002. (I looked it up, no way I'd get it on my own - bisonaudit got me through Univ Calc)

The story goes that a Verizon customer in 2006 was traviling to Canada and wanted to know the roaming rate for data. He called customer service and was quoted the price "point zero zero two cents per kilobyte" or .002c/KB. He thought this was a very good rate, so he asked them to repeat it. They confirmed it and he asked them to note it in his file. When the bill came, however, he was charged at a rate of $0.002/KB or "point zero zero two dollars per kilobyte." His subsequent conversation with Verizon customer service is comedy gold. He spends over half an hour with a rep, a floor supervisor and a manager trying to get them to understand that .002 cents is not the same as $.002.


http://verizonmath.blogspot.com/2007/08/original-recording-of-verizon-customer.html


The check was a third party's response to the story. The guy who wrote the check draws a webcomic and apparently wrote out the check and posted the image on his site. The check was never mailed or even meant to be. The e^(i*pi) equals -1, and the sigma portion is the equivalent of [1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6 + etc] which is the same as .9999... or 1.

So ... (0.002) + (-1) + (1) = 0.002



And the answer to the original poster's question was 100.

The are 10 types of people in the world: Those that understand binary and those that don't.

That is awesome. If you have 1/2 hr to waste at work just listen to it in the background and enjoy the complete confusion of Verizon.
