Fifty Plus (50+) - The 57 thread.

You can't post here unless you are 57 years old. No more, no less. Just sayin' :notamused:

Robin Williams could post here. Dave Winfield could post here. Cheryl Ladd could post here. Unfortunately, I cannot.

I can't post here either.:notamused:

I did, ergo I can!

I promise to honor the rules and not post here.

Well, except for that last post wherein I promised to follow the rules.

I must apologize for the last post, which was a clear violation of my previous commitment.

Fifty-seven is the sixteenth discrete bi-prime and the sixth in the (3.q) family. With 58 it forms the fourth discrete bi-prime pair. 57 has an aliquot sum of 23 and is the first composite member of the 23-aliquot tree. Although 57 is not prime, it is jokingly known as the "Grothendieck prime" after a story in which Grothendieck advances it as an example of a particular prime number.
As a semiprime, 57 is a Blum integer since its two prime factors are both Gaussian primes.
57 is a 20-gonal number. It is a Leyland number since 25 + 52 = 57.
57 is a repdigit in base 7 .

Is this the thread about Heinz products?

Indeed.

They are all 56 :rolleyes:

I promise only to post here in the form of comments in preparation for my 57th birthday, when I promise to pen original posts on a daily basis.

This is a real product ... I've seen it in stores

Oh that's just great. First DenverFox wants me to spell and now you want me to employ higher math. I'm outta here. Good night.

BTW, not only have I seen Spotted Dick in a pub in England, I was treated for it.

It can't be true! No way! DG isn't that old, I mean age.

It is wonderful after Bangers and Beans and Marmite!

High Tea Anyone?

I did not intend to o-ffend. I just couldn't believe Winfield was over 50! Where do the years go...

I'll be back next month.:lurker:

No offense taken at all. It was all just part of the fun.

Since I've celebrated the 29th anniversary of my 28th birthday, I'm legit.

I'll be back next month.:lurker:

Me, too - June 2nd to be exact! :)

See y'all in four years!

I'm another rule-breaker. But in 6 days I'll be eligible. But who really cares?

I can't therefore I won't. This is timtruro not posting on the 57 year old thread, because it is not allowed. Pay no attention to that poster behind the curtain. I am the all mighty and powerful OZ, and there is no way you get to see the Wizard, not no way, not no how.:)

I posted here 4 yrs. ago.

Are Grothendieck, Blum, and Leyland newbies in the 65+ thread?

I love it when you talk math.

This is not a post. :innocent:

Does that mean exactly 57 years old? Not one day more or less? So would 57 1/2 count? Are you counting from conception or birth?

I must apologize for the last post, which was a clear violation of my previous commitment.
hmm someone watched a lot of Monty Python back in the day....
oops....this is not a post.
I am NOT posting the above comment.
Look elsewhere should you seek a post from me.

I can post here, I can, I can!!! For another month, at least...

I posted this last year..

BTW, not only have I seen Spotted Dick in a pub in England, I was treated for it.

I blew tea out my nose onto the computer when I read this. I can't believe no others saw the humor here--like Larry the Cable Guy says, "I don't care what you think, that's funny."

ps: hope the treatment wasn't too painful

That means only on your Birthday?

How about if you were born in 57?

Although 57 is not prime, it is jokingly known as the "Grothendieck prime" after a story in which Grothendieck advances it as an example of a particular prime number.


Oh, yeah. I love that story. :lol:

I'm in de Nile. Can I post here?

I will NEVER post here. Well not for 2 years:D:twitchy::rolleyes::roflmao2::crash::cry::innocent::twitchy::fight::banned:

I am not posting here saying I like smilies:innocent:

I'm thinking that it's another of those products that it's better not to see being made. Might this be an animal byproduct perchance?

I've been checking out the spotted dick in the grocery store the last two visits. I've been too chicken to try it. I will buy some tomorrow and report.

We do not have to refer to ourselves as 57 years old -- we are 39, hexadecimal! You can ban me from this thread starting on Tullio Campagnolo's birthday this summer.

August 26. That's a great day to be born, and I should know.

In my old neighborhood there two brothers who both had birthdays on Aug 26th. But they were born 3 years apart.

Some history:

HEY! That doesn't sound bad at all!

What did you think was in it?

I had no idea.

I would think that fresh spotted dick would taste better than canned - and I can hardly believe that I can write this in a way that could be included in a PG-rated forum.

I can post here. I also went to high school with Robin Williams who can't post here because he's too young. Hah!

Well, it looks like I'm one of the few rule-abiding folks in the 50+ forum. Turned 57 in March. But now that I'm here, I have nothing to say.
