The Saga of "54" and the Truth - Post #120

frankbmd · #1 01-31-2013, 09:34 PM

It's so much fun seeing everyone jumping for the carrot. I feel like the rabbit at the greyhound track. Eric, I thought your post was autobiographical until the death scene. Please assure us that you are still alive. As for Texxxx, I guess it depends on which week you are talking about. When I'm dealing with you, the stack seems to get a little higher. To the best of my knowledge Leon is not yet 54, so that theory would hinge on whether he has found the Fountain of Youth and is headed backwards.

Sam Majors may be clairvoyant or he may be a principle somehow involved an undercover plot or he may just be your average Joe man in the street type guy waiting to be discovered by Jay Leno. All I know is that he is not an agent of mine and is in no way connected financially or psychologically with this thread.

I'm considering half time at the Super Bowl for the reveal, and no I will not be there for a live presentation. The name of the thread may change at that time, but the change will be appropriate and shouldn't fool more than 10% of the members.

A few more theories before Sunday would be nice. I may even wrap up my serialized version before then.

It's Chuck Norris's favorite number.

Very simply, 3 was subtracted, the "." dropped, and "54" remained

Intellectually appealing, but flawed in the sixth line of the formula, which belies the result obtained.

The Curse of 1940, also called Dutton's Curse, was a superstitious explanation for why the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League did not win the league's championship trophy, the Stanley Cup, from 1940–94.

Net = Hockey 54 Years = Duration of the Curse

1940 was also Pre WWII (for the US)

Was anyone involved in the naming a Hockey or Rangers Fan?

Silence. Head hurts.

Emc2 = 54

I have it on good authority that the name came from a meeting of "Monster set" collectors, 54 to be exact, who decided to create this forum where only posts pertaining to their beloved set would be allowed. Not sure how nonMonster set posts ever got started.

I just emailed Frank quite a long explanation and he can post it whenever he wants to. Nice thread and nice stories guys....

Interesting. In that equation. There appears to be multiple possiblities for the values of e m and c. They can all equal 3, although I'd lean toward that being unlikely, as it would've been more simple to assign a cubed singular varible. Although it is possible assuming that e, c and m could all be the same number, if they were representing different theoretical specifics. The more likely scenario being any combination that has one of them equaling 1, another equaling 3, and the third equaling 9..

In the context of that equation e definitely does not equal mc², in term of a fully whole number valued equation.

Unless, your large 2 represented "square". Then we're left with a different set of possibilities all-together. C could equal 1, while e and m could be interchangeably represent the numbers 2 and 27, 1 and 54, 3 and 18, or 6 and 9. It's possible that c could equal 3, while e and m represent 1 and 6, or 2 and 3. C could be represented by either positive or negative numbers. As it pertains to e and m. They could only both be negative or both be positive, but not 1 of each..

Again, we are not left with a solely whole number valued equation that can make e=mc².

Assuming that both emc2=54 AND e=mc², or emc²=54 and e=mc², fractions and decimals are the only possibilities.

I think it was from a 12 year old named Adam who was missing #54 from his set. He was definitely into older police partner TV shows like "DragNet" and "Car(d) 54 Where are you?".

David, I used the numbers on my telephone keypad, squared the c and multiplied and came up with 72, so if Emc2 is correct, welcome all to

Net72

Frank,

After a long night, I did wake up dead this morning...but feel much better now

Thanks for your concern

Best Regards,

Eric

I'm a frequent thread reader (lurker) waiting for an answer to this one.....

This is my first post here, and I'm waiting an answer to this!

Why five four?!?!?!?!?

Frank posted the answer a few posts back - it was due to the creator being a 1954 Brooklyn fan - not the climatic ending i was hoping for lol

I would think a true Brooklyn Dodgers fan would have chosen Net55...

Half time at the Super Bowl is still in play.

If you're attending a good party, don't worry it'll be there when you get home.

25 hours to go. Should be about 7PM CST

Oops, sorry, my bad. I thought I was following this thread pretty closely, but after 10 pages, I guess I wasn't as sup to par as I thought.

Not quite the amazing ending to this I was hoping for either...

lulz???
