Eleven Factors

[Fish80]

We're getting a new program at work called myhealthIQ. Some type of a scoring mechanism that lets you get lower health insurance premiums if you are healthy.

But they're using 11 factors to do the assessment. Why 11? Why not 10 or 12? I hate 11.

Maybe because the person who designed the quiz is a Spinal Tap fan?

Do you like football?

[Shammrog]

Right you are!

What did you do - just split the 4 numbers above into their (11) prime factors?

[g_olaf]

One number (200560490130), eleven factors

[Shammrog]

One number (200560490130), eleven factors

Oh, good! Now I get it - I saw the first number (separated by commas) and thought it was 4 numbers. I didn't get it, and was fearful that my alcohol-soaked brain had finally given in. This makes much more sense.

I need to go home. But, I don't want to fight Atlanta traffic.

My advice is to double down.

I don't want to fight the traffic any more either. Perhaps you should try the Alltech Lexington Brewery Bourbon Barrel Ale.

I should have this on my desk as a motivational poster

AGGGHHHHHH! What diabolic fiend would set the max volume at 11?

I like football, but I try not to focus on the 11. Think of it as 22 on the field. And 22 is a very nice number.

I hope s/he is NOT getting one of my ALBBBAs

Momentary hijack.

Shammrog (he) might (see my review in Ymm Beer). It's a bit too bourbony for me. Given his comments about Atlanta traffic, the ALBBBA should suit him fine. I personally prefer the BBC Bourbon Barrel (see my review in Ymm Beer thread).

Your beer is en route.

We now return to the subject of this thread.

Re-hijack.

Am I understanding and counting correctly that you have procured not one, but TWO brews aged on bourbon barrels? Very interesting...

We once again return control of your TV set, err, thread, to its originally schedule program...

Re-re-hijack...

They probably had a statistician do some work and that work probably showed 11 variables with statistical significance. Or at least 11 factors that were cheaply obtained so they didn't need to spend too much money.

From wiki: etymologically the word eleven originated from a Germanic compound *ainlif meaning "one left"

Could it be any more evil? Think about it. 9/11 is very bad, evil things happened. 9/10 is fine. 9/27 is fine too. It's the 11 that's makes it all go bad.

Yes ... two. One each from Alltech and the BBC. Check my reviews.

Say... what was this thread all about anyway? Something about math?

But 11/11 was a great day. Armistice Day--one of the best of days. How could 11 be that bad?
