"What is the smallest possible percent of players with all four injuries."

Try, those players have so many injuries, they probably ended up on all fours. Sounded like a good game to have front row seats.



"What are two things people never eat before breakfast"

Lunch and dinner.

"What State..." Ohio

Tryagain, Mark, and others,

Working with all these number definitions, I thought of making a number crossword. To do this I need many numbers with a definition.

My question is do you know numbers with a definition larger than 3 digits?

- 1984?
- 2001?
- 1997?
- 1907?...

106 is the number of trees with 10 vertices.
107 is the exponent of a Mersenne prime.
108 is 3 hyperfactorial.
109 is the smallest number which is palindromic in bases 5 and 9.
110 is the smallest number that is the product of two different substrings.


Whim:

106 = cards in the game Yummy.
107 = beads in a typical Buddhist Ju or Mala (rosary).
108 = poems by Chögyam Trungpa in the book "First Thought, Best Thought".
109 = number of John Kennedy's PT Boat (don't know what PT stands for). *
110 = yards in a continental football field.

* The BIG book of PT answers gives the following answer: A small fast unarmored and lightly armed torpedo boat; P(ropeller) T(orpedo) boat. :wink:


Whim also asks, "do you know numbers with a definition larger than 3 digits?"

I will have to think about that, but I doubt it. Although I think, the answers already given will turn up in riddles for many years to come.

Late news; Looks like Francis is on the case.
