Pointless Fact of the day... 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 And I did a repost check first so Forgive me if this is in fact a repost. My code isn't buggy. Those are all fleatures.

The obvious question to such a cool post is what happens when you add another 1 to the end of those operands. Now I could get a piece of paper and produce the answer, but gosh golly, I think I'm going to dust of my BigInt class..:)

It adds two zeroes in the middle and maintains symmetry. You'd be surprised how much accuracy calc.exe uses.
I, for one, do not think the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

I always liked: 987,654,321/123,456,789 ~ 8 98,765,432/12,345,678 ~ 8 9,876,543/1,234,567 ~ 8 987,654/123,456 ~ 8 and so on... Ah, being bored and playing with a calculator.... Jeremy Kimball

Always gotta steal my thunder... :) Actually, you start degrading as you drop digits...starts off literally at 8, with 8 digits of precision, and you lose precision as you lose digits. Still, an interesting quirk...I wonder how you could graph it? It must asymptotically approach 8 somehow... Jeremy Kimball

I always found it interesting that the cube root of 31 = pi to 3 decimal places. But your pointless fact is cooler. Marc Latest AAL Article My blog Join my forum!

If you square any number whose digits are all 1 you will get a result that counts up to the number of digits and then back down again (up to 9 digits). Cool!

also: 101 * 101 = 10201 1001 * 1001 = 1002001 10001 * 10001 = 100020001 100001 * 100001 = 10000200001 1000001 * 1000001 = 1000002000001 . . . i.e. sqr of 1 followed by 'n' 0's followed by 1 is 1 followed by 'n' 0's followed by 2 followed by 'n' 0's followed by 1 and : 3 * 3 = 9 33 * 33 = 1089 333 * 333 = 110889 3333 * 3333 = 11108889 . . . i.e. sqr of a no. with 'n' 3's as digits is (n-1) 1's followed by a 0 followed by (n-1) 8's followed by 9 ...
