where my user name came from lol

well why I have that name on this site is the same ...like written in the other user name related thread of mine on this forum 🙂

but now!
just reading through other peoples' replies to said thread..
it just came to me, where my user name came from..clearly!

I wrote I did not even know how to pronounce it..
but now I have a good idea how to lol

it's...

twenty one-twenty one
lol

xxi=21 and another xxi=21

that is exactly what I was thinking when I made up the name..I was looking for something I had never used before and would not be linked/related to me



or I could change it into..

xx-ix-xi twenty-nine-eleven
or
xx-i-x-xi twenty-one-ten-eleven
or
x-xi-x-xi ten-eleven-ten-eleven
or
x-xix-xi ten-nineteen-eleven
or
x-xix-x-i ten-nineteen-ten-one
or
x-x-ix-xi ten-ten-nine-eleven
or
x-x-ix-x-i ten-ten-nine-ten-one
or
x-x-i-xx-i ten-ten-one-twenty-one
or
x-x-i-x-xi ten-ten-one-ten-eleven
or
x-x-i-x-x-i ten-ten-one-ten-ten-one
or
xxi-xx-i twenty one-twenty-one (this is different from the original twenty one-twenty one, which has two constituents of 'xxi')
or
...

in how many ways could it be changed?
there must be a formula for this..probably using a factorial? I'm not sure..lol I'm not a math person lol
maybe someone can come up with a nice formula?


and I think the original twenty one-twenty one is the best way to pronounce
like when one reads a year in English..four numbers are broken into two..

and I think I need to start doing something productive than creating weird threads like this.. lol
I do like and appreciate the misc forum though lol

So what you're saying is that, in typical Gemini female fashion, you've over thought something and made something that should be simple into something more complicated—?

so the solution is:


x, x, i, x, x, i


there are two cases with five of the six letters (or roman numbers in this case)

like:

x (with -, or without -) .. two possibilities
x (with -, or without -) .. two possibilities
i (with -, or without -) .. two possibilities
x (with -, or without -) .. two possibilities
x (with -, or without -) .. two possibilities


hence:

two possibilities to the power of x, x, i, x, x

i.e.:

2 to the power of 5




therefore, the number of the all variants is:



32
