number crunching:

10,946 is the 21st fibonacci number. (21, by the way, is the 8th fibonacci number. and 8 is the 6th fibonacci number!)

1366 is not a fibonacci number. the 1366th fibonacci number is...
1341626349780998421193186668692326210838132271075430371344321184454739634947733208470553177370896721485554641599532514363003228461815245511739324759025389459078802352427368320886498904772927618748809705113790029099455850288091640247389842804124722063609115536195627361571065173481094063. (282 digits long.)

it's only appearence in the whole of the first 300 fibonacci numbers is in the 232nd number, 1366619256256991435939546543402365995473880912459.

the lottery numbers shown on the hornchurch star website are the first six digits of the fibonacci sequence. all your fibonacci needs met here: http://www.mcs.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fibCalcX.html

Well, I poked around some Bible quotations. The number 1366 doesn't appear to be significant in that regard, no matter how you split it up, ie. 1:36:6, 13:66, 13:6:6, etc.

Any other ideas?

Beautiful!!

Now, nearly 200 years later Hornchurch has developed into a flourishing community made up of 1,366 inhabitants. And although we're a small town, we've certainly got big ideas - Hornchurch has the highest proportion of millionaires per capita outside of Manhattan.



Methinks there are a few people in hornchurch that have sold something to someone for somestuff...

Significance of 1366 not as cool as I thought it would be!

Zombie wrote:
Does this mean anything to u guys?

1)Hornchurch community made up of 1366 people

2)Dennis Horens #666-1366

3)One of Marlowe's websites is onethreesixsix.com

Confused


Did some googling and found this
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Stella%20Artois

Turns out that the Artois brewery was established in 1366. Would have been cooler if it was a math puzzle..but at least we know for sure Stella Artois has something to do with this.
By the way, this is my first post, and I want to say hello to all of those ARGers out there who are a helluvalot smarter than me! You guys rock!

GREAT! Good work. I'm new to this also so you wont hear me saying im better at this than anyone else here.

*looking at my post I realized that I made a mistake. Onethreesixsix wasn't a website, just an identity. Embarassed

What really puzzles me is the weather forecast at http://www.hornchurchstar.com/weather_ok.php.
I have never seen these signs on any weather forecast around here (germany) and they look sort of strange.
The key might be the key to solve some other puzzle, but maybe I'm just on a totally wrong lead...

Stella Artois is the gold standard European lager and traces its roots to the year 1366 when master brewer Sebastian Artois established a brewery in (what is now a university town) Leuven, Belgium.

"Stella" is Latin for "Star"....so was probably Sebastian's "Star Lager"

And here all this time I thought it was a brewery started by an enterprising young woman named "Stella".....who woulda thunk it?

Book of Star

Book of Star == Book of Stella (Artois) == Interbrew ?
(well, they've got a new name since last month, since they merged with a South-American brewer, and are now the largest in the world, and that name a cannot recall right now)

Is this he hint on Jon's web site his "sister" is talking about?

Dennis (sometimes refered to as Den) Horen won the lotto.

On the Stella Artois web site the name of the brewery in 1366 was also Den Horen "The Horn".

In 1717 Sebastian Artois bought the brewery and renamed it Artois Brewery.

It also shows an Ad for "The Pilot" as mentioned on hornchurchstar.com
