11/6 is 1.8andabit shirley?

Isn’t it 11/5? Or have I misunderstood the game, or can’t count?

 

[jackalbion]

Best wishes of course, but on a separate note, what on Earth was this thread originally about.

Well there's Adam. And then there's a few 'l's and an 'n'

I’m confused. I thought the denominator is unique letters.

You're not confused. I'm a moron. Apologies

11/6

11/6 is 1.8andabit shirley?

Good to see the old school grad 3 CSE maths contingent from the 60s and 70s are alive and counting with their fingers, here in 2025.

Hang on......

(one, two three, four, five, six, eight, nine ......2024. I'll take my abacus on the way out.)

Super sub who stood out because he had or was studying for a history degree. Unusual at the time. A name amongst a cluster that were part of a fantasty time in our history.
Best wishes Giles.

Just realized, on the made up games thread, I suggested naming a player with the biggest ratio of letters to different letters. I suggested Callum McManaman 15/7 = =2.14. Giles Stille is 11/6 = bugger, 1.83.

These are not ratios.

I went in to the bakers yesterday and asked if he had pie


3.14 or 22/7 he said.


Oh well I laughed.

He's 11/5.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

He's 11/5.

Yup, we've established that. Brainfart by the boy Hark

Everyone knows 22/7 is merely a bang average approximation to Pi, so I'd absolutely piss myself if anyone told me Pi was 22/7 because it isn't.

Greggs are 'bang average approxmiations to Pi', maybe this is where the 22/7 came from?

I went to the bakers and asked for two wasps. The shop assistant said they did not sell wasps. Well, you have two in the window.

My baker got robbed and assaulted with one of his own baguettes. He was in a lot of pain

I got stung by a bee last week. 6 pounds for a jar of honey.

I got stung by a bee last week. 6 pounds for a jar of honey.

Apparently, if bees were paid minimum wage, a jar of honey would cost £4m.

I always loved Giles' name. There was something unusual about it in my book.

He was also part of our Division 1 team so always remember him popping up in the panini album. Hope he's back to health soon.
