Ok, 3001/55 is Fugazi, 3001/5 is Pandora, 3001/22 is Rufus, 3001/86 is Derfel Cadarn, 3001/87 is CorneliusMurdock. Theres some more, I'll find them.

Edit: 3001/59 is Rick.

I'm pretty sure 3001/55 is 54,5636..., 3001/5 is 600,2, 3001/22 is 136,40; etc. Are you sure you're on the right track?

EDIT:

For our American friends:

I'm pretty sure 3001/55 is 54.5636..., 3001/5 is 600.2, 3001/22 is 136.40; etc. Are you sure you're on the right track? :tongue::wink:

Your comment brings up an interesting question, to which Wiki provides a satisfying answer:

In the United States, the period (.), which is called a "stop" or "full stop" in other countries, was used as the standard decimal mark. In the nations of the British Empire, although the period could be used in typewritten material, the point (mid dot: ·), which can also be called an interpunct (often referred to as the decimal point) was preferred for the decimal mark in printing technologies that could accommodate it.[4] This had the advantage of reducing confusion in the countries that used the period to separate groups of digits and it was generally clearer in handwriting (particularly when writing on a dotted baseline as on many forms). However, as the mid dot was already in common use in the mathematics world to indicate multiplication, the SI rejected its use as the decimal mark. However, the use of the period as decimal mark was not banned. British aviation magazines thus switched to the US form in the late twentieth century.

When South Africa adopted the metric system, it adopted the comma as its decimal mark [5], although a number of house styles, including leading newspapers like The Star and The Sunday Times continue to use the decimal point. The auxiliary language Interlingua has used the comma as its decimal mark since the publication of the Interlingua Grammar in 1951.[6] Another international auxiliary language, Esperanto, also uses the comma as its official decimal mark.

In 1958, disputes between European and American delegates over the correct representation of the decimal mark nearly stalled the development of the ALGOL computer programming language.[7] ALGOL ended up allowing different decimal marks, but most computer languages and standard data formats (e.g. C, Java, Fortran, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)) specify a dot.

The 22nd General Conference on Weights and Measures declared in 2003 that "the symbol for the decimal marker shall be either the point on the line or the comma on the line". It further reaffirmed that "numbers may be divided in groups of three in order to facilitate reading; neither dots nor commas are ever inserted in the spaces between groups".[8]

There are no names, only numbers. Report to your 2x4 brick officer for further orders. No mocs are to be posted without permission from a 3001 agent. Relax and stay calm!

Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Three Thousand and One. :look:

Ah yes, I totally forgot about that. Maybe I should add an American translation? :grin:

There you go :tongue: .

Just because you have the ability to discover a person's true name doesn't mean you need to name them. Unless you are a Carrionite and are trying to kill us all. *oh2*

Yes, the end is nigh. Confess your sins and ransack your souls, abandon your heathen numbers and leave yourself in the hands of 3001. :sadnew:

I'm pretty sure it has to do with a code leading to a hidden price somewhere in the depths of this Forum! And I think it must be something like: counting together all the Numbers from all the Members with 3001/... names; then divide it by the number of members which have joined Eurobricks till the 31.10.2011. Then add the post count of the first EB-Member, afterwards calculate the square root of the number you get and it will lead you to the topic where is shown the next hint for the hidden price! :thumbup:
