How many active DC member are there? 150? (Dunbar number)
Darwin:
I don't know what's going on now, Curt... I'm pretty much performing without a net on Facebook, now, so *should* be very exposed! :o
Darwin:
Actually, looking at my profile, I don't see my groups listed and I can't find a way to "reveal" them... anyone care to enlighten me? :-[
CodeTRUCKER:
I wonder if there is a "type (depth?)/quantity" correlation between the relationships and certain mathematical iterations? Each sequence below has the nearest total to 150 as possible for the sequence.
Fibonacci Sequence
1
2
3
5
8
13
21
44
65
{Can't Remember :( } Sequence
(1x1=1, 1x2=2, 2x3=6, 6x4=24, etc.)
1
2
6
24
120
In looking at these sequences although, the Fibonacci numbers are well represented in our world and beyond, I am persuaded the latter iteration above is more indicative of human "quantity~quality" correlations, at least in my experience. Even on DC this bears out, in my case.
Any thoughts?
Darwin:
Shouldn't Fibonacci go up to 109 or even 174? I know nothing about the sequence but it looks like 65 and 44 should be added together to get to the next number...
Anyway, interesting idea but I haven't got a clue how to respond as I have never given these types of sequences much (any) though before!
jgpaiva:
Darwin, here's the sequence: (from wikipedia)
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393
