Rather the same as what RedWarrior said.

Date of posting is 9/6, which is 1.5.
9-6 = 3.
9*6= 54.

And 96 is the number without other characters.

Vlyndar wins! PM me with your choice of crayon art or ASCII reward!

The worker was repeatedly writing the date down, in the manner of people who have to label left over food at a restuarant. Bored, he changed the way he was writing it.

8/30 = .267 a few times.
8-30 = -22
8 dot 30 = 8*30 = 240

Then, a week later, he did it again.

9/6 = 1.5
9-6 = 3
9 dot 6 = 54
At one point, the dot was on the nine, so no one could see it. 96

No, we just didn't see it, we were too busy tinking about it from the wrong angles.

Me being bored while writing all those goddamned labels on masking tape to put on containers to be filled with salad bar food. Then switching my date writing manner after I made it all the way around the tape roll. I realized that it would be interesting to look at the results. They looked confusing enough, and I remember a list that someone had posted WAAAAY back in VN that just had some forum names on it (I think I was third) and not saying what it meant, causing a ton of speculation.


Sure, I'll give it to Warrior as well. I didn't count it originally becuase you had 8/40 instead of 30. PM me what you want from Toady.
