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

We just needed some recounting, as your F(207) should be:
F(207) = 8,146,227,408,089,0-8-4,511,865,756,065,370,647,467,555,938

F(208) = 13,180,872,826,374,098,837,632,191,485,015,125,807,374,171

I'm back! And still doing them on paper...

F(209)=21,327,100,234,463,183,349,497,947,550,385,773,274,930,109

Interesting pattern: Two adjacent groups of three in F(207) were 647,467. Now we have 497,947. Coincidence?

Sorry folks, the weekend got in the way, the thread dropped down the list - you know how it is?

Acaeris, you are getting sloppy, again.

F(205)= 3,111,581,989,804,070,186,099,320,645,726,169,127,737,705
F(206)= 5,034,645,418,285,014,325,766,435,419,644,478,339,818,233
F(207)= 8,146,227,408,089,084,511,865,756,065,370,647,467,555,938
F(208)=13,180,872,826,374,098,837,632,191,485,015,125,807,374,171

Mornin' Marjin. It's going to one of those days again isn't.

Oops just realised I'm in some sort of a timewarp!

Aha.

F(210)=34,507,973,060,837,282,187,130,139,035,400,899,082,304,280

So I guess it was a coincidence then ...

F(210)=
34,507,973,060,837,282,187,130,139,035,400,899,082,304,280


Time warp? Oh dear, how does it go.... Jump to the left, then step to the ri-ai-ai-ai-aight? (Isn't it a bit early for this sort of thing?)

*grumble, grumble, just zarking woke up and now I'm adding the wrong numbers...*

F(211)=
55,835,073,295,300,465,536,628,086,585,786,672,357,234,389

...hands on your hips.... knees in tight....

F(212)=90,343,046,356,137,747,723,758,225,621,187,571,439,538,669

.. but it's the pelvic thru-ust, that really drives you insay-yay-yay-yayn ...

Hmm ...

Let's do F(209) agaiiin! (Think it got missed off the list of corrections somewhere)

Aw s**t.

F(213) = 146,178,119,651,438,213,260,386,312,206,974,243,796,773,058

That's a big number. Incomprehensibly big.

Ok, the missing
F(209) = 21,327,100,234,463,183,349,497,947,550,385,773,274,930,109

and of course the new

F(214) = 236,521,166,007,575,960,984,144,537,828,161,815,236,311,727

there is a spy hidden inside!

F(209) was posted correctly above ...

You are right, I did not go back far enough

F(215) = 382,699,285,659,014,174,244,530,850,035,136,059,033,084,785

F(216) =
619,220,451,666,590,135,228,675,387,863,297,874,269,396,512

Ooh, I got my first 666 grouping!

F(217) = 1,001,919,737,325,604,309,473,206,237,898,433,933,302,481,297

-------------------------

On a linguistic note, we're into the quattuordecillions. I've never had a quattuordecillion of *anything*!

Aren't the naming conventions different in the UK for large numbers than they are in the US? What do British mean by 1 billion? 1 trillion? In the states:

1 billion = 1,000,000,000
1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000

4,244,200,115,309,993,198,876,969,489,421,897,548,446,236,915


In the UK 1 billion used to be a million million, but these days the US convention is normal.
