Wow!
How did you get to this, sharpy?
But of course those are palaces, the largess in the world...

Over to you, Helanren :jossun:

Are the numbers money? size? units?

Helanren 06-08-2014 11:21 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
Not money, not size, depends on what you mean by 'units' (as everything you count is counted in some unit or other, except when you're doing pure math :biggrin:)

Re: what's my number?
 
Fine!
Let's tackle the letters: first letters of persons? Occupations? Places?

None of the above, really, but maybe this would have been better ;):

Countries (more likely) :rolleyes:

Population?

Helanren 06-09-2014 11:13 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
Countries - hmmm... yes
Population: :no:

pearla59 06-09-2014 11:28 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
Please clear that for me: the letters on the X axis are NOT the countries initials...rather they denote ranking....how else can you explain your change?

Helanren 06-09-2014 11:34 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
Compare version 1 and version 2, and you'll understand why I said hmmm to both 'places' and 'countries' ;)

pearla59 06-10-2014 04:31 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
You never said hmm... to "places". As a matter of fact you completely dismissed it.

Does UA = USA; GB = Great Britain; C = Canada, F = France ? :doubt:

Helanren 06-10-2014 02:23 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
Yep, USA/American, Great Britain/British, C = Canada/Canadian, F = France/French are the letters in version 1/version 2 :nod:

linkinpark333 06-10-2014 02:30 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
You've lost me a bit (with the need for an updated version)

Do the numbers represent people? War?

pearla59 06-10-2014 02:36 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
Y Axis - number of people?

LOL Link! I am always lost when Helanren is around...he is too good at hiding...

You don't sound too lost to me..... ;)

Re: what's my number?
 
Number of soldiers killed in a war? (Maybe WWII?)

Helanren 06-11-2014 12:11 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
WW II soldiers :nodder:, killed :no: - well, not all of them....

pearla59 06-11-2014 01:22 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
POW's?
Since yesterday I am trying to find a site with numbers concerning WWII. Strangely, I can't...

Helanren 06-11-2014 01:32 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
Nope ... :no:

(note: if you take a good look at the original post, there is another clue :biggrin:)

pearla59 06-11-2014 11:15 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
MIA's?
Again, I have difficulty getting numbers...I did find that the USA had over 70000 MIA in WWII...
BTW: I have looked closely at your original posting and can see no differences except for the letters.

Helanren 06-11-2014 11:57 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
IA yep, M no :biggrin:

- and look again at the whole of the post....

linkinpark333 06-12-2014 12:46 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
It's a broken bar graph.

Wounded soldiers?

Helanren 06-12-2014 12:57 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
Nope, the 'broken' representation is just to get everything into view, the numbers have nothing to do with wounds. The 'clue' is somewhere else.

linkinpark333 06-12-2014 01:09 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
I don't see anything in the chart.

These soldiers were "in action" you say. Is this a specific battle?

I "love" it when Helanren is toying with us...
Above the chart you said: "Next: a quick and easy one (as I basically forgot about wmn ):"
Is your hint there?

Helanren 06-12-2014 02:11 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
Not really, I just had to quickly make one that day ;)

pearla59 06-12-2014 02:41 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
900 French soldiers took part in the Normandy invasion...Am I getting warmer?

EDIT:

I finally got some numbers: 'On D-Day, the Allies landed around 156,000 troops in Normandy. The American forces landed numbered 73,000: 23,250 on Utah Beach, 34,250 on Omaha Beach, and 15,500 airborne troops. In the British and Canadian sector, 83,115 troops were landed (61,715 of them British): 24,970 on Gold Beach, 21,400 on Juno Beach, 28,845 on Sword Beach, and 7900 airborne troops.'

Helanren 06-12-2014 03:31 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
That's close enough :)

It was the total number of allied troops involved on D-Day itself, or at least the best estimates I could find (for the French e.g. I found 209 ;))

over to pearla :jossun:

pearla59 06-12-2014 03:49 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
I am still laughing....In a million years I would not have thought that this was your clue...especially since it was generated by the program and not entered specifically by you...I am also laughing because you said that was an "easy" one...
As to the number of French troop: here the number mentioned is 900 :confused:

Helanren 06-12-2014 04:25 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
It wasn't exactly meant as a clue at the time :). But as you know, I like 'topical' posts, and I figured if you read "American, British, Canadian" on D-Day, bells would start ringing - hence the 'easy' wmn. But of course, the further we got away from the date, the less that would be true, so I used the 'edited by' as a reminder).

Spoiler:

As for the French, I think only the 177 Kieffer commandos landed on the first day, + those 32 paratroopers, the others of those 900 you found probably arrived later.

Interesting range of numbers.... are they percentages (with FM going above 100, because 'non-members' of the group also take part)?

Spoiler:
for instance, during elections, we sometimes have more than 100% 'voting participation' in some communities, but that's because more people (included outsiders on holiday) have voted there than the official number of people >18 who live there :)

pearla59 06-12-2014 11:23 PM

Re: what's my number?
 
These are not percentages. Look at the picture name...

Too easy (you gave it away) ;)

pearla59 06-13-2014 12:35 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
Hey genius!
How did I give it away...I didn't even say it is money...It's nice to have an easy one after Hel's "easy" one...:silly:

You are up Mr. Link! :jossun:

Edit: Here is Forbes list

Re: what's my number?
 
How come they never asked me to box for 72 minutes? I probably could even have given them something like 40, 50 games, instead of a measly 2, as well :biggrin:

pearla59 06-13-2014 03:00 AM

Re: what's my number?
 
Be honest, Helanren: you wouldn't have survived even for 72 seconds...
