The G4Ger who did the zip code act is named David Rosdeitcher. He lives near Boulder, CO. He has several flat Earth videos on YouTube. On Fri, Sep 13, 2019 at 11:52 AM Andres Valloud < avalloud@smalltalk.comcastbiz.net> wrote:
Regarding the subject, it appears US (basic) zip codes are effectively character digit strings of length 5 (that is, [0-9]{5}). Some state there are 42k active zip codes, presumably of the five digit variety.

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
