Wait, are you really 18, or are you 18 like I'm 16?

Nope, that's my real age.

Yes.

Just count yourself lucky I didn't have the motivation to turn it into a calculus or linear algebra equation.

Are you the Riemann integral over the interval [1/2 , 13/2] of the function f defined by the expression f(x)=2x for every real number x?

Fascinating. This pleases me, you're a wise person.

I'm genuinely flattered.

Dear lord. We're invaded by kids!

I remember you actually used to like me before you found out my true age!

Can't say I remember that. Sorry.

In my lifetime, a photon of light could have travelled approximately 2 million AU's.

Just done the math.

Short by 2....

Ah yes. 'Approximately.'

32.

AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!

I'm also 18.*

*I don't always denote numbers in base ten.

Cheers!! Let's go watch MLP! ;)

Accounting for random uncertainties of course.

I've just discovered why that's the funniest number.

AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!

Not to worry - we actually only need to calculate the integral over the interval [2 , 6]!

I must say some of you are younger than I thought

Well one AU is traversed by light over 8.3 minutes. So, there being, usually, 525,600 minutes in a year, that's 63,325 AU's in a year, dividing an approximate 2,000,000 by that, we get 31.5 which, keeping our rounding consistent, is 32.

As for why it's the funniest number....

Let's hope that won't discredit our posts here!

If that's the case, could V'ger really be "over 82 AUs" in diameter, as Capt. Decker suggests?

Remember JWfangirl92?

She was like 14 when she joined

I found this place when I was 9 or 10, and have kept an eye on it regularly ever since.

I am a dinosaur! And now that we're back on the topic of Star Wars...
