Ok folks, I love yosefblog just as much as any of you (except maybe for you accidentalfeminist) but I think we need something to spice him up a little bit. But Michael, who are you to criticize, you don’t even have blog after your name! Good point, but, this is my idea:::
-Yosefblog Interactive-
Here’s the jist. The one posting poses a question, challenge, etc. and his or her answer, entry, etc. Then, all of you post your answers in the comments.
If you like the idea, help me out…
You find a $100 bill and like Charlie (of Chocolate Factory fame) you decide to spend some of it. What is the coolest thing you could buy?
I think it’s this and this.

You have fifteen seconds. Using standard math notation, English words, or both, name a single whole number—not an infinity—on a blank index card. Be precise enough for any reasonable modern mathematician to determine exactly what number you’ve named, by consulting only your card and, if necessary, the published literature.
Be honest (after all, nothing is at stake here except pride) and don’t read the comments (i.e. other people’s entries) until you’ve done your own. I’m abstaining from this contest so as to not risk losing. 15 seconds is up.
