Anyone of my sort of vintage knows that the Answer to the Ultimate Question is 42.
Finally the Ultimate Question is known: How many millionaires does TSBT have?
UrbanFlux became TSBT millionaire #42 today.
Well done UrbanFlux :wav:

Aye, but we don't need to build the Earth to figure when Mr Thinhead will reach the mark.

I've given it some Deep Thought and conclude Sunday or Monday will see him cross the line too.

Congrats to both!

Is that a mouse I hold in my hand......

Woo Hoo! Mr Thinhead becomes millionaire #43. :wav:
Looks like we need to find another ultimate question.

Congratulations to the both of you ! :)

... The next question is: what is the next question ? (to which the answer requires a certain familiarity with imaginary numbers and the concepts of infinite improbability - I think we may have to setup our own BOINC project).

42 3x+1 = 8 steps

Thank you. I will celebrate with a large glass of Talisker this evening. Perhaps even two large glasses. Perhaps even the bottle...

... If I have understood correctly you will have to do it in 29 steps. This is basically a non Euclidean problem so walking in straight lines is not required - but you will have to declare "Och aye!" before assuming a horizontal position which can be done at any point in the process.

Sláinte Mhath !
