You apparently need to apply a different method to get the triangular numbers hidden in it:
http://homepage.virgin.net/vernon.je...enigma3.htm#H3 You have to ignore one of the letters, so it's not as clean.

The fact that they used a different method brings back my earlier question; if you hadn't got a unique number out of it with one method, would you have tried another method?

If you apply the exactly same method to YHWH you get 16 and 21, and I'm not clear what significance they have.

Attention IIDB: GIVE IT UP. Pmarra's website is obviously 80% legit with The Man Upstairs.

According to the Gematriculator

http://www.logonomics.it/

is 80% Good and only 20% Evil

(results: http://homokaasu.org/gematriculator/)

I am afraid that despite all the fancy mathematics, Pmarra obviously has a direct line.

Of course I would have expected it to be 100% Good, but that's what the numbers say apparently.

While I am unable to follow all of the exciting mathematics here, I think I can see that the number 136 is exceedingly rare. In fact it is the ONLY number that equals 136 out an INFINITY of numbers.

Bollocks. "extremely rare" is not a scientific term.

Consecutive triplets of triangular numbers that add up to another triangular number are NOT extremely rare in any mathematical sense. In fact, there are infinitely many of them - which means (in any meaningful mathematical sense) that they are as rare as, e.g., even numbers.

The first, second, and third triangular number add up to a triangular number.

Same is true for triangular numbers 8/9/10 (your case).

Same is true for triangular numbers 34/35/36.

Same is true for triangular numbers 131/132/133.

Same is true for triangular numbers 493/494/495.

Same is true for triangular numbers 1844/1845/1846.

Same is true for triangular numbers 6886/6887/6888.

Same is true for triangular numbers 25703/25704/25705.

Same is true for triangular numbers 95929, 95930, 95931.

sorry but I don't agree

the number 136 is rarer than a Mersenne prime

the Mersenne primes are very rare

A SPECIAL CLASS OF RARE PRIME NUMBERS CALLED MERSENNE PRIMES .

Mersenne prime
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenn...ersenne_primes

In mathematics, a Mersenne prime is a prime number that is one less than a power of two.

Mersenne primes have a close connection to perfect numbers, which are numbers that are equal to the sum of their proper divisors. Historically, the study of Mersenne primes was motivated by this connection; in the 4th century BC Euclid demonstrated that if M is a Mersenne prime then M(M+1)/2 is a perfect number. Two millennia later, in the 18th century, Euler proved that all even perfect numbers have this form. No odd perfect numbers are known, and it is suspected that none exists. It is currently unknown whether there is an infinite number of Mersenne primes.

Seriously, you could read my message above and stop embarrassing yourself.

Not only what reddish said, but 439 is not a Mersenne Prime any way, so that was something of a red herring.




Any word on pi yet?

I think this is the point I give up. It's like arguing with a recording - no matter what you say, it keeps on regardless.
