Do the Tonkers' bouncers still sell black socks for a fiver to put over your trainers so it looks like you're wearing shoes? Not a clue tbh. Mrs Coconut's parents live here and aside from one drink in the awful Ripley's Little Ale House this is the only current* pub I've been in here. It helps that there are quite a few stronger beers on draught and in can. *I went to The Talbot under the previous ownership (post Amber Ales because they were ducking poo) but that has since closed, and is quite far from the town centre.

Van der MoodHoover Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I'm going to launch an assault on my bookshelf. It's the history of mathematics by Carl Boyer this weekend. An old university text that I promised myself I'd revisit. I'm now passable acquainted with the differences between the Egyptian hieroglyphics, hieratic and demotic forms of number depiction. Unlike our strictly decimal numeric system the Egyptians used a mixture of base 20 and base 5. At this rate I'll be clear of Corona, but quite possibly the saddest conversational individual around.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s really interesting, I’m not a mathematician but I thought the 12 base was the ancient one, on the basis that 12 was divisible by the greater number of whole numbers 1/2/3/4/6/12 ?

I'm now on the Mesopotamia chapter and they used base 60 for that reason. And they had a place value system. They also had a notion of "irregular" fractions like 1/3 and 1/7 but not seemingly, a notion of infinite series. Interestingly, the Egyptian mathematics was very much about algebra and applied algebra, rather than geometry. Its interesting and I think we should get some input from @Millenniumram.......?

Van der MoodHoover Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Come on Mucker.....play a game that only has 255,168 possible combinations? At one a minute that's only going to keep us going for just over 14 months (assuming we play for 10 hours a day)......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
