Cool Numbers

[thewayne]

I like wasting my time with Where's George. It's trivial, but I like trivia, and it's neat. They added a new feature a while back where they run your bill's serial number through a web site that does analysis on the number. I entered a bill today that had the serial number 07900999. I knew it would be Cool and it turned out to have a Coolness Index of 97.1%. It reported the following:

# This bill contains a 4-of-a-kind and 1 triple. Only 0.21% of 8-digit numbers have this combination.

# This bill has 3 unique digits. In 0.71% of 8-digit numbers, there are 3 or fewer unique digits.

# This bill contains 1 triple and 1 pair together. Only 1.5% of 8-digit numbers have this combination.


(Apparently I'm kinda brain dead and bored right now!)

I've never initiated a Where's George bill but I got one about 2 years ago and evidently no one else gave a damn: it hasn't been logged since I had it.

Brain dead? Well, you could be analysing the coolness factor of the periodic table (which, I must say, has been entertaining!).

The thing is you write Where's George and I imediatly wonder if this is some kind of new game where you try to figure out where the current president is when something requiring a leader happens. Like Where's Waldo only for the Hurricane picture you have to go to a different page to find him in California or something.
