The elusive Researcher -42

You do some strange things, in you spare time... even weirder things when I'm not around...

True .. but I need to pass the time somehow ..
How're you today and what're you up to?
The elusive Researcher -42
Vip Posted Dec 27, 2002
Wo! How strange is that?? Now to learn the new number and to tell everybody that's your real number...

It would be interesting!
By the way, the reason it works is that there is some maximum researcher number and then, beyond that, the list rolls back to a negative number, the minimum researcher number. That's why Researcher -42 and Researcher 203385 both work!
If you're interested, your one in the same range is U4294967484069!

RhoMuNuQ- you have far too much time on your hands...

Rho Posted Dec 28, 2002
It didn't take any time at all ... I just looked at my Researcher number (203385), your one (188069) and took the difference -- 15316.
I then took 15316 away from 4294967499385 to give 4294967484069 and put a U at the beginning: U4294967484069!

Btw, the maximum positive researcher number is U2147483647, after that it wraps around to -2147483648 with U2147483648. To get back to U0, you double that to U4294967296. So if you want to find out your nearest negative researcher number, subtract from 4294967296. To find out your nearest positive researcher number, add it to 4294967296.
