h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A game recently brought into the world by 'That Mitchell & Webb sound'. It's a game with shockingly similarities to Mornington Crescent except it's played with numbers, in fact it was developed by the Japanese as a substitute because Mornington Crescent did'nt work in the complex language.

I'll start:

89

Wrong!

6

17.3

Can't go wrong with decimals.

indeed. 2.1

And I believe that's numberwang 2legs...

7.82

Now thats what I call numberwang.... Right, then that will I think be 6.023, as we seem to be on the decimils today

I call foul!

It is inadmissible under the current Numberwang rules to call three decimal places within 3 calls of a Numberwang.

I refer you to Clause 17 para 3 subsection iv (b)


763

I relaly must finish reading the rule book Hmm.... 111.

Lady Admiral Ayeka,

Please clarify this move - is it a variation on the Chandler/Phizser retrograde strategy of 2001?

Assuming that it is I find the next moves posted to be a little bizarre but, in the spirit of the game might I suggest

No, it was an advanced play. It is part of the Pythagrian strategy I think

Well, in that case, if we're following the advanced stratogry ruling, I can use the corner inititive and say
'26', and that is numberwang!

The most basic rule of numberwang is that the person with numberwang can't call numberwang. Alright that is numberwang, but you can't call it numberwang I would have to call numberwang on your behalf.

I fancy a high numbers game:

2.9X10^76

That's numberwang.

Seemed like a short game was in order.

149.
