*Coughs politely* Being a number, what number are you? Maybe you should try typing yourself into the computer and see if you are a code for an emoticon or something. Or maybe you would become an online program containing every detail about you. Being a number, it COULD happen. I do not know the laws about that type of thing for numbers such as yourself.

If you are very quick you will have noticed that's not a correct equation, it's several decimal places short of right -- much like me.

Yes, but I need a sizable planetoid, a skilled workforce and five billion years.

I meant making your user number add up to 42, for example
U97644 = 9 - 7 + 64 - 4! = 42
(1*7*(sqrt9+sqrt9))*9^0 = 42
but I'm sure there must be a more elegant way without using the Sqrts though
