Squelch / UP is not having much joy on the old maths front there...

Crikey - I just went for the number that I'd just produced from a random number routine I'm putting together...

Er, 3007?

it is going to have to be 2988 for me

okay 3010 then

Nope, nope and nope to the sneaky second answer there. Matt is nearest again.

Hows about 3009??

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 3:31 pm

3004?

One of you is one away.

3008?

Weyland · Post by **Weyland** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 3:44 pm

Nope.

The only remaining clue will give it away completely, but the crucial word in it begins with a "P"

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 3:55 pm

prime? 3001?

Weyland · Post by **Weyland** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 3:56 pm

Nope. Try "Pa...".

Palindrome?

3003?

Must be, surely? And don't call me...

I'll have to hand the reigns over if it is, as I won't be back on until tomorrow now. Popping out for 'a few' sherbets...

Matt gets it, in all respects. I have no idea why it's called a Millillion, sounds like the mathmatician asked his kid to name it, which is exactly how a Google got named if I remember...

UP was next closest if Matt can't be with us.

dee fault. the two sweetest words in English.

okay. football then.

which team was the first in Englan to allocate squad number 1 to an outfield player?

Weyland · Post by **Weyland** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 4:42 pm

Right, so we're talking about a team containing at least one arrogant overpaid git who demanded to be numero uno...

...Chelsea?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 4:47 pm

not Chelsea but you are not a million miles away. the player who wore 1 is currently playing in scotland.
