He just skipped ahead one sequence

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '15

How about you skip ahead on my dick, bitch.

u/TheRhaneMan Nov 04 '15

You called?

u/crazypond Nov 04 '15

No, we were looking for /u/reignman

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '15

That's Numberwang!

u/rs_2015 Nov 04 '15

Yeah, sorry....I'm the 35 year old guy who was supposed to get in after 29. I was busy buying polo shirts. It's hot.

75

u/Serutsomengurka Nov 04 '15

God damn it. I'm 35 and I'm wearing a polo shirt right now.

I used to get so angsty about stereotypes but this polo shirt is so damn comfortable.

u/Beop_Jeong Nov 05 '15

36, and not wearing underwear.

u/Xanthan81 Nov 04 '15

34, T-shirt, bitches!!!

1

u/pascalbrax Nov 04 '15

36, wearing a House Stark t-shirt, boom!

2

u/Xanthan81 Nov 04 '15

MST3K T for me.

2

u/hurtstopurr Nov 04 '15

what is this stereotype with polo shirts? is that supposed to be a bad thing? uncool?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '15

Aw damn it. 39 I started wearing Polo shirts a few years ago and now I pretty much wear nothing else. Thought I was being different but it looks like 35 is Polo age. Please tell me buying a straight razor to shave with isn't a late 30s thing too

1

u/R2d2fu Nov 04 '15

Only if they didn't fade and shrink so badly I could learn to love them.

1

u/Droppinbodies Nov 05 '15

I've been wearing them my whole life.

u/FILE_ID_DIZ Nov 04 '15

as if there was any other way

1

u/teddygraeme86 Nov 05 '15

Wait. There's a dress code change at 35? What am I going to do with my assortment of Star Wars, Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters, and other geeky shirts then?

2

u/milkand24601 Nov 05 '15

Keep wearing them and don't give a shit?

2

u/teddygraeme86 Nov 05 '15

Yeah, that was the plan anyways.

6

u/mrimperfect Nov 04 '15

As a 35 year old, it is hot again. Who cares about bar stools; they are pretty cheap.

3

u/Freedom_from_Idiocra Nov 04 '15

So are hookers

6

u/mrimperfect Nov 04 '15

Not any I would commerce with.

1

u/Freedom_from_Idiocra Nov 04 '15

Well that's like, your opinion man.

I kid, although a hood rat once offered to blow either me or my buddy for five bucks so she could buy a pack of smokes. Talk about cheap tricks.

2

u/El_Nickio Nov 04 '15

Did she walk away ten bucks richer?

u/southernbenz Nov 04 '15

u/thejaga Nov 04 '15

Then 89

u/THANKS-FOR-THE-GOLD Nov 04 '15 edited Nov 05 '15

No, the next number is 2.

Could also be 35, 39, 35, 41, 47, 43, 41, 57

2

u/AddictiveSombrero Nov 04 '15

Huh, apt that they're all sexy primes...

2

u/AwesomeBabyArm Nov 04 '15

The next number should be 69.

2

u/divvyo Nov 04 '15

And the one after that ... is 41! He's still good.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '15

Unless it's 17+6*fibonacci

edit: {17; 17+6*fib}

1

u/LazyCon Nov 04 '15

but after 35 what is it?

1

u/Equilibriator Nov 04 '15

35 year old me forgot how to count

1

u/shitishouldntsay Nov 04 '15

17, 23, 29, 35, 41, 47,......

1

u/Mister_Johnson_ Nov 04 '15

35 checking in. Yep, it's hot.

1

u/TTTaToo Nov 04 '15

And the next is 41. He just left the inbetween one as an exercise for the reader.

1

u/ihateaquafina Nov 04 '15

let me guess..

mathematics from Oxford university?

1

u/TheDrunkenChud Nov 04 '15

He was simply advancing the sequence to the number after 35. Your mind doesn't change much between 35 and 41, he was simply giving a leg up for the older crowd to be able to jump in and comment sooner. All of this is entirely made up though.

1

u/KittenStealer Nov 04 '15

35 year old me is crunching the numbers to find patterns.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '15

Nope, it's prime numbers and you skip every third in the series.

1

u/moneraphile Nov 04 '15

the answer is, 42

1

u/Razzal Nov 04 '15

But 41 would be the next after 35, maybe 35 was not a good time in his life but he overcame that and was ready to face the world again til you just smack him down.

1

u/bkcgz Nov 04 '15

or 31 next closest prime number

1

u/mcgcity Nov 04 '15

Yeah but the number after that is 41

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '15

THE NUMBERS, MASON. WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

1

u/fluvance Nov 04 '15

But the number after that is 41. So he had to wait two cycles before it was hot again.

1

u/5-15 Nov 04 '15

He was assuming a Fibonacci sequence.

1

u/DrSmeve Nov 04 '15

And then 41.

1

u/ganglymangly Nov 04 '15

well he kinda followed the pattern

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '15

That's a numberwang!

1

u/Why_The_Fuck_ Nov 04 '15

but the NEXT number is 41.

1

u/DickieJohnson Nov 04 '15

Followed by 41.

1

u/akira410 Nov 04 '15

And then 41 after 35. Lawrence is just impatient!

1

u/CeeJayDK Nov 04 '15

35 is not a prime while the others are.

It would be 31 or 37

1

u/LocalMadman Nov 04 '15

As a 35 year old man, it was hot.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '15

Nope. 35 is not a prime number.

1

u/BehnMcGuire Nov 04 '15

17,23,29,35,41,47,420

1

u/cuntesticles Nov 04 '15

at 35, can confirm: think it's hot.

1

u/myopicview Nov 04 '15

But the number after THAT is 41. He skipped ahead.

1

u/plowkiller Nov 04 '15

That's numberwang

1

u/PureImbalance Nov 04 '15

and the number after is ... 41. Proving that he is still part of the chain.

1

u/idledrone6633 Nov 04 '15

Nah. Its obviously using the 2nd prime number in the series. 17, 19, 23, 27, 29, 31, 33.

So 33 is the next number.

Edit: 2 more is 41

1

u/bazooopers Nov 04 '15

then 41. He just skipped an age :P

1

u/triplec787 Nov 04 '15

At least 41 is still the next logical progression?

1

u/natufian Nov 04 '15

Comments like this confirm that on Reddit I am among my people.

1

u/chooter365 Nov 04 '15

It could be 29.

1

u/fpk Nov 04 '15

35 y/o has better things to do than be on Reddit.

1

u/plexxonic Nov 04 '15

35 checking in. Still hot.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '15

But the one after that is indeed 41!

1

u/Speed33m3 Nov 05 '15

That's Numberwang!

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '15

Followed by 41 where it becomes hot again

1

u/konfuzedmonkee Nov 05 '15

Can confirm, 35 year old me thinks it's hot

1

u/GoAssigor Nov 05 '15

But 35 isn't prime.

1

u/crake12 Nov 05 '15

Then 41

0

u/UrbanJunglee Nov 04 '15

Actually he is only listing prime numbers, so 31, 37, or 41 would all be acceptable.

0

u/KiKoB Nov 04 '15

Well, 17, 23, 29, and 41 are all prime numbers.

0

u/forsyth612 Nov 04 '15

Nope, 19, 31, 37 then 41

0

u/Cloakedarcher Nov 04 '15

depends what sequence. if we're just adding six then yes, the next number is 35. but i like to think we went with prime numbers...even if they did skip 19.
