So close and yet you do not win

And don't forget 42, because it's "so close". Closer than 54 or 23 I dare say!

The line for winners starts here; just queue up behind me...

Ideas are not fixed, nor should they be; we live in model-dependent reality.

Oh, Anniet, I really wish you

Oh, Anniet, I really wish you hadn't erased that post. Just a slightly different choice of words and you would have won.

 

I'm terrible at giving clues. It's not really to do with astronomy, 23, or a birthday though it could have had something to do with astronomy before the 54st post came and went and no one had even tried to guess. Before it was specifically vague and now it is vaguely specific. 42 is significant in one universe but not necessarily this one. Or maybe it just explains what's wrong with this one. Or maybe just what's wrong with this TLPTP.

I wasn't too thrilled with it myself either :/ Some kind of quantum entanglement happened :\ involving the mouse, the scrollbar and my brain. It was awful.

I remember waxing lyrical about  nine sixes...? Then came the edit.  I'd found out (in wiki I think) that 54 is 42 in base thirteen (or something like that) and had thought it was interesting enough to add which is when it somehow cancelled out everything that had been as well as itself... a bit like what has been alleged would happen if the answer and the question were both known in the same universe at the same time....

:)) Never, ever, let that bother you :)

edit: there was an its, and it had to go.

...and it went, while nothing else did! :)

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

For those who haven't grok'd it yet, Feb 23 is the 54th day of the year.

WINNING!!!

Ooooooooh, that's very good! I hadn't counted that far ahead.

I'm currently obsessing on this: [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrases_from_The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Answer_to_the_Ultimate_Question_of_Life,_the_Universe,_and_Everything_(42)]erm[/url] The garbage in garbage out reference in particular... yeees... ;) I'm sure the answer lies in that ... somewhere...

 

oh deargodedit: my linking skills appear to have rotted away, people. I'm afraid you're stuck with that pig's breakfast because I've given up fixing it :)

Well, I learned something new today.

 

Anniet, you can find very good ideas on that page.

 

May I confuse everyone a bit more? Ready or not, here goes: My thinking on this matter has something to do with Mike's TLPTP.

I'm glad you are still moving!! I was worried when I saw it coming and now they say another one is coming, or is that the one that just went thru?

And my "doughboy" is waaaay beyond being taught anything new like that, he won't even sit down!!

We are winning though!!
