142857


In the 2-DIE-4 PHOTO GALLERY, located due South of the text posts,
there is a sequence of six photographs.

Two were taken in Long Beach, CA; one is from Hazeburg, Virginia
The Rosa Parks photographs were taken last Sunday in Eugene, Oregon

The pictures are numbered "in order" but the first one is #142857

The "order" is established by doing the following:

142857 x 1 = 142857
142857 x 2 = 285714
142857 x 3 = 428571
142857 x 4 = 571428
142857 x 5 = 714285
142857 x 6 = 857142

It is a simple fact of life that not all numbers are equal.

At the Lewis Carroll School of Logic, we learned that
some numbers are more acrobatic than others.

142857 is–beyond a digit of a doubt–the most acrobatic
six-digit number in the world.

If you click HERE, you will understand why.

By the way, be sure to take a good look at the six photographs.
Your eyes will thank you for doing so.
