3 is everywhere - General - Facepunch Forum

God damn...

666 omg

I was hoping for something more interesting :(

Ok shall i? Really no one? At all? ok.......... APART FROM VALVE THEY CANT COUNT TO 3! DU DU TSS i'm sorry it had to be done so we can all move on.

My god.... EPISODE 3?

What this video boils down it is, if you pick a number from 1 to 9, that number will be in 99.9 infinite percent of all numbers.

half life 3 confirmed

This applies to all integers using simple infinitesimal calculus. It's a simple limit problem.

[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;35383486]I know someone's gonna crack a Valve Joke about this.[/QUOTE] I thought this was about Ep3 :c

IT'S A VALVE ARG!!

I was born 3/3 :O

episod tree arg

the word three sounds weird now

Its like wau all over again.

3 is everywhere, episode 3 is nowhere [editline]1st April 2012[/editline] So what they're basically saying is, if we take this statement I've used above, is that as Valve releases more and more titles, Episode 3's probability of not existing gets closer and closer to being 100% true. Basically.

Would make this man very happy: [img]http://customers.hbci.com/~wenonah/gif/teslapic.jpg[/img] [sp]Tesla was obsessed with the number 3.[/sp]

3 is my favourite number.

Okay, the probability of any number or sequence of numbers appearing in a number becomes certain as the number becomes large. What if it's an irrational or infinitely large number, such as pi or omega?

So when he says, almost all numbers contain a 3, and at the end he says it works for 5, 6,7, ect. That means. Almost every single number contains every number. 0.O

Buh this is so confusing because no finite natural number would contain the digits of pi, so how would I write the probability as the number becomes large? It would be zero because no finite natural number contains it, but when the number of digits becomes infinite, the probability of the digits of pi appearing are no longer zero because then pi*(10^infinity) contains all of the digits of pi.

When a number has a large amount of digits, it is more likely to contain any single digit as demonstrated by that sequence he wrote there. Then again, some numbers don't contain a three despite having infinitely many digits, but a number is more likely to have a three in it if it has more digits. As he said in the beginning, you can think of infinitely many numbers that don't contain every single number.

[QUOTE=Coffee;35390329]Wasn't wau equal to 1? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFLkou8NvJo[/media][/QUOTE] No, I'm just saying its a mathematical joke, Swap 3 around with any number and you come to the same conclusion. It just irks me a little.

[QUOTE=Mixed Sources;35391125]No, I'm just saying its a mathematical joke, Swap 3 around with any number and you come to the same conclusion.

I would say that it is also true for any number but irrational and infinite numbers are impossible to test this way.

I love how all of you are trying to analyze an April Fool's joke like you're so clever.

So this video is basically saying that numbers contain numbers? genius.

[QUOTE=KlaseR;35391553]So this video is basically saying that numbers contain numbers? genius.[/QUOTE] No, its showing the basic implementation of a limit.
