Rank: Guest		Posted By Descarte Just been playing on my calc.exe why does 123456789 x 2 give all the numbers 1-9 then x2 again and it still does and again and again After you times 123456789 x2 4 times you get all the numbers 1-10 but only for 2 more times then it goes squiffy and you get 2 4's Also interesting that after you have done it 3 times its nearly runs 987654321, but not quite. well its more interesting than doing 80087355 and then trying to turn my monitor upside down

Rank: Guest		Posted By Andrew Longhurst Oops! That should read "to almost 3 decimal places" .... I do hope there are no NASA or ESA bods reading this or I may have just sent another spaceshot into the centre of the sun ......
