First clue: based mostly on fluffy's totally correct answer, but...... it's a unique quartet.

And since we're at top-o-page, here it is again:

The unique quartet is:

negative one
Euler's number
pi
square root of negative one





fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/12/2009 7:30:33 PM)

Well, FUCK!  It's always something....
 
my brain is off for tonight - somebody else can get it.




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/12/2009 7:37:55 PM)

I doubt anyone else will get it, fluff....... when your brain is back on (maybe tomorrow) ask for clue #2




fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/12/2009 7:38:57 PM)

cmail in a minute, lance.




ThatDamnedPanda -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/12/2009 10:49:09 PM)

Well.... I know that if you multiply E by (Pi x


Hold it. Are those numbers the 4 values in Euler's formula? Euler's identity, I think it's called?


Where's DomKen?




HatesParisHilton -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/12/2009 11:17:05 PM)

okay, if this is the "bar", next time I am asking  RUTHLESS, nad-slicing media question...

bloody MATHS HOMEWORK, indeed!  HARRUMPH!




ThatDamnedPanda -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/12/2009 11:19:28 PM)

Yeah, I don't know diddly-jack about math. We need DomKen in here - anyone have him on speed dial?




ThatDamnedPanda -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/12/2009 11:22:20 PM)

I don't know nothin' 'bout no 'rithmetics. I'm just here to get laid.




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/13/2009 7:39:24 AM)

ROFLMAO!!!  Thanks for a great wake-up laugh.  You see, Panda, I was reading this string on laptop in bed, trying to wake up.  Fell on to floor.  Laptop is fine.  <Thanks for asking.>

Yes, it's the four constants that form Euler's identity.  Go ahead.

Hiltie: NO, it's NOT the new bar.  It's all I could come up with when I got the baton for being 5 seconds ahead of sappa on Presidents awarded Nobel prize.  I almost let sappa go ahead, but a textbook used in my business was laying open, shouting, "Do me! Do me!!" LOL!




ThatDamnedPanda -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/13/2009 11:27:00 AM)

Boy, I got lucky again. I knew there was some formula in which pi and e had some special relationship with the square root of -1, but couldn't remember anything about it. I had to use google, right in the middle of my answer. Sort of thinking out loud, and it hit me.

OK, then. Four more.

President John Adams
President Thomas Jefferson
Admiral Samuel Hood
Lieutenant Joseph Baker

Shit. I figured it'd take longer than that.

Just kidding! Nope, that's not it!




sunshinemiss -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/13/2009 1:41:09 PM)

They were all titled in England?

Oddly enough, that's not the answer either. A veritable cascade of imaginative answers thus far, covering an impressive range of possible subjects, but unfortunately nothing close.




Aylee -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/13/2009 5:20:17 PM)

Which Admiral Hood?

The other Admiral Hood's cousin!









Viscount Admiral Hood, the more famous one - the one who fought for the British in the Revolutionary War; who lost to De Grasse at the Battle of the Chesapeake but later defeated De Grasse in some major engagement in the Caribbean that I don't recall the name or the details of.




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/13/2009 6:59:54 PM)

Maybe Washington's first cabinet?

I kinda, sorta hope I'm wrong, 'cause I got nuthin'

On the other hand if Hiltie gets it, he has threatened us all....... What he knows of math is probably more than I know of his mod/pop/comics.  You see, I was studying while others read comics.  I think I owned maybe 5 comics my entire life.




sunshinemiss -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/13/2009 7:04:00 PM)

Hey Lance,
just so you know... Archie chose Veronica.
Very sad day for all us Betty's.




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/13/2009 7:05:22 PM)

SSM:  I was too old to even know marriage was an option. 

As to my guess: I got it wrong, to which I say - Good!  Google gave the answer immediately and now I can go to a late dinner, being prepared by my S.i.T. (Slave/Sub in Training. - ain't that great?  I don't have to say which he is until later.  For now he's my SiT.  Of course, "Sit, boy" is used instead of "Sit, SiT" 'cause the later is just plain silly. LOL! )




ThatDamnedPanda -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (10/13/2009 7:10:14 PM)

Shrewd guess, Lance, but no. Think "geography" more than history.

I was expecting an eruption of guesses by now, but it appears the initial speculation has already peaked. Maybe time for some clues, eh...?
