Absolutely amazing! Beauty of Math!
1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
Brilliant, isn't it?
And look at this symmetry:
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=123456789 87654321
Now, take a look at this...
101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER
100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K
8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

You know, I almost didn't read this...embarrassingly because of my terrible shortcomings in the subject of Math. But now I'm so glad I did!! I must admit I actually enjoyed reading it, and wound up laughing out loud at the zinger ending! I love it!
Thank you, David, for making my day!
Peace and Blessings,

|
|
| so so so cool! thank you. amazing. |
|
|
| This is truly astounding.....It just goes to show us that God has a Divine purpose for everything under the sun (smile) |

| Maths is Elegant |
|
|
| I flunked math several times and would get panic attacks just thinking about it, but this is the BEST math lesson I have ever had....most useful too! lol |
|
|
| BRILLIANT, BUT IN ENGLAND WE SAY "MATHS" AS OPPOSED TO MATH.....MATH IS SINGULAR WHILST MATHS IS PLURAL. AS MATH OR MATHS IS THE SCIENCE OF ADDING MORE THAN ONE NUMBER DON'T YOU THINK THE ENGLISH WAY IS RIGHT? AS ALWAYS...LOL, STU....PS TIRE MEANS TO BECOME WEAKENED, TYRE YOU PUT ON A CAR!!! POINT MADE! |

| Very interesting. Sometimes I wonder if in the creation God did things so these "wonders" get discovered or do they happen (as in the above) as a consequence of His design. Did our God purpose for Math (or Maths) to be like it is or did it just happen that way because of what He did? I also sometimes wonder if God created the heavens (outer space) just so man would attempt to reach the stars. Always great lessons David! |

| I loved this! I can't wait to show my children! |

Stu, you miss the point entirely. . . . In American and Canada we don't speak English.

This is a cool email, and this comment is not to detract from it, but with a degree in physics, I can tell you that the fingerprint of the LORD is everywhere in nature, in ways that probably 99.8% of the world doesn't know of or needs to know of their entire lives. Funny thing is, when you get to some of the real BRAINS in the world of physics, they get a lot more willing - no, CONVINCED - that there has to be a Creator. It's funny because typically people think scientist=atheist, but it's because a lot of biologists have taken their theory of evolution and turned that into a religion of it's own. I've always wanted to get a t-shirt printed for when I'm around atheists (it would be a good icebreaker for evangelism) that says: "I'm a Christian and a Physicist - but go on, you tell ME how it all happened!" LOL

| I printed that and showed it to my children, my teenage daughter already seen it at school, but she still thinks it's cool and my 9 yr old thought it was also cool. Both of them want a copy of it to show their friends. Of course, I am going to take a copy to show people at work too. And anyone else I think might be interested. Thank you for showing that to us. |

| I am not very good at math at all but this is great |

| Wow I knew there was a reason I got on here 2 night. I've been having an issue this week with my bad attitude and this really gave me some insite. Thanks for the message! |

| I'm not too good at math problems, but those sure add up to me! I knew the Love of God is what it is all about but it is there in mathematical equations too! LOL |

| I had to copy this to let my other friends do the math too, maybe then they will see the truth of Jesus! |
|
|
| The underlying beauty, symmetry, intelligence, beneath everything that has been created is an awesome testimony to the God who created it all. Great blog David!!!! |

| Very impressive David. I will certainly share this with my friends. |

Hey David........this is really kool!!!! I absolutely love working with numbers........I live for my Washington post Samurai Sudoku every Sunday. I have a 11 yr old daughter (5th grade), I'm going to share this with her teacher if that's okay.
***** 5 STARS |
|
|
| Wow......I work with numbers every day. It is nice to see someone have fun with them. I always get a kick out of atletes saying they are giving 110% effort. Either you are giving all you got or your not. Jesus said to love Him with all of your heart 100% would do just fine. It was a great point you made that though we may achieve and do all the right things, without God it is not good enough. All of my righteousness is as filthy rags before Him. |
