Hello , the postal codes in Nantes does not go from 44000 to 44999, there are only few of then that are in use : https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=code+postal+nantes some special other ones are used to special regions for business (not used by the general public),they call it CEDEX so finaly there are 5 or 6 of them that's about the end of the enumeration... I am afraid that it is not that numerically funny. and YES, there were atrocities during the few years after the revolution , the state against <royalist> or chouans, many were massacred or simply drowned in the river by hundreds (I am off topic here). UPC codes, postal codes and not usually mathematically challenging at all IMHO. Best regards, Simon Plouffe Le ven. 13 sept. 2019 à 15:29, Bill Gosper <billgosper@gmail.com> a écrit :
G4G once had an entertainer named "Mr. Zipcode"(?). You tell him yours and he tells you where, and then goes on to describe places to eat, etc. (He struggled with Ray Solomonoff's obscure town in upstate New York. Or maybe some offstage confederate struggled with https://m.usps.com/m/ZipLookupAction?search=zip .)
Impressive, but maybe not 10^-5 impressive. I just mistakenly tried 44007, which seems to be Nantes, the site of a French Revolution atrocity. Does Mr. Zipcode mention atrocities? —rwg _______________________________________________ math-fun mailing list math-fun@mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/math-fun
