Isak Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Hi guys! Head over to Broken Sword Zone and have a chanse winning excusive Broken Sword stuff. Only one participiation per person
Joshi Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 How are you numbering the answers there. because I've got 1. Czech X. France 2. Ireland Why is france X and ireland 2?
VampireNaomi Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Or perhaps because it's a common and widely used way of numbering things? At least in this part of the world.
DrMcCoy Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 o_O? ...you're numbering things "1., X., 2."? ...then you're living in a strange part of the world...
Ray Jones Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 it's one times two, which, of course, gives the smallest prime number, you freaks.
VampireNaomi Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Well, it's not exactly a numbering system, but it's used in gambling and when people bet on stuff, like soccer games. Therefore it's a very suitable way of numbering the answer options. See this not very good picture
DrMcCoy Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 ...it's still completely illogical... ...and in soccer, it's because the "X" is a draw, so it's now comparable, imho...
VampireNaomi Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Well, when you look at it that way... I don't know. I'm not one to bet much on anything, so I don't know a thing about this stuff. The only things I DO know is that 1, X and 2 don't raise any confusion in me. Perhaps I should think more.
Guybrush122 Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 perhaps france was once two, and now has been disqualified, due to lighting cigarettes in the non-smoking section?
Isak Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 sorry if there is any cofusion. its just that we use this 1,x, 2 system in sweden, didn't know you didnt do it in the rest of the world... but there is a secret behind the "x".... no theres not
Joshi Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Most numbering systems in the wirld go 1, 2, 3,, or a) b) c). I've never seen 1 x 2 before, it just doesn't make any senseto list answers that way.
Fealiks Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 wtf?!?! o_O that's just WRONG. Is X a varified number or just a wierd numbering thing?
Isak Posted December 3, 2004 Author Posted December 3, 2004 Originally posted by Fealiks wtf?!?! o_O that's just WRONG. Is X a varified number or just a wierd numbering thing? No it's a wierd numbering thing . It's probably some stupid guy from scandinavia who invented it... Anyway, I changed to 1,2,3 now instead, so go to Broken Sword Zone and paricipate in our contest!
VampireNaomi Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Wow, such a big fuss over one damn numbering way. Originally posted by Isak It's probably some stupid guy from scandinavia who invented it... Let's agree that he was from Denmark, Norway or Iceland.
Joshi Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Originally posted by VampireNaomi Wow, such a big fuss over one damn numbering way. nothing exciting happens on these forums, we have to entertain ourselves by arguing over trivial things. Now who stole my left sock?
Fealiks Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Oh, Joshi, look I've ran through this before, it's on your foot.
DrMcCoy Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Originally posted by Joshi Now who stole my left sock? ...a more valid question: who stole my post?
Joshi Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 How's that for a sense of humour? MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
DrMcCoy Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Originally posted by Joshi How's that for a sense of humour? MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
