I was goin for digital roots ;_;

We should make it a rule that you have to post the actual number.

2

 

[machomuu]

No one would follow it.

3

Largely because nobody really cares, considering that the numbers are rarely focused on.

How about this, then?

Calculating a number based off of some expression is one thing, but deriving a solution from a function with a multiple-value inverse domain is another.

 

[machomuu]

5

But it grants the same result, merely with the inverse calculated behind the scenes.

Posting a digital root really isn't all that different than simple addition.

6.

But the amount of information that it provides to solve the next number in the series is negligible, as it would be far easier to just look one post back (S_n) and determine that S_n+2 = S_n + 2.

 

[machomuu]

7

Yeah, but that could simply be resolved by just adding in the process.

9 + 3 = 12
1 + 2 = 3

How about this, then?

Problem is, by that point it just becomes superfluous and it's really just better to post the number or the digital root alone. That said, it's really not much different than posting anything else related to the number in question.

But then your solution would just be extraneous information.

If the equation you used to determine the current post representation could be expressed as f(p_n-1) = x_n, most people would just look at p_n-1 and add 2.

Edit: Yeah, your edit basically said the same thing this post said.

 

[machomuu]

9

Yeah, pretty much. But again, it's really not much different than posting anything else related to the number in question.

Haven't touched Math in 4 years. Keep it away :(

 

[Akiba]

11.

Yeah, I'm more concerned about the people who are going to come by this thread and get their brains fried.

 

[machomuu]

12

Doesn't that happen, regardless?

 

[Akiba]

13.

True, but in a different way.

 

[machomuu]

Well, either way, I'm not one for math, either. Math is cool, but me no like.

I have a soft spot for Digital Roots, though, because 999: 9 Persons, 9 Doors, 9 Hours (the prequel to Virtue's Last Reward) is one of my favorite games, and DigRoots play a major role in it.

No wonder. That was an awesome game, though.

Also: Pokecommunity, good times.

That was my least favorite part of 999. ;~;

It was really cool I guess, but it was still my least favorite part.

Also before I say anything else lets just be clear on one thing: That game is fucking amazing.

 

[donavannj]

17. I come here to get away from thinking hard.

 

[Yukari]

18

Sorry we fucked it up for you.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

No wonder. That was an awesome game, though.

I approve. I must have had a folder like that at some point, but it seems to be gone.

Sudden urge to actually put some work into my profile again. I haven't properly revamped it since late 2012. Which is bonkers.



Also, unlike in the American version, the "anime" section on Swedish netflix is pretty laughable. At least the two things on there that are actually Japanese are pretty cool.
