Count As High As Possible Before A Mod/Admin Posts


Recommended Posts

There are 112 pounds weight in the (British) Imperial ("long") hundredweight (cwt).

112 is also part of the GSM standard and all GSM-compatible telephone handsets are able to dial 112 even when locked or, in some countries, with no SIM card present. It is also the common emergency number in nearly all member states of the European Union as well as several other countries of Europe and the world. 112 is often available alongside other numbers traditionally used in the given country to access emergency services. In some countries, calls to 112 are not connected directly but forwarded by the GSM network to local emergency numbers (e.g. 911 in North America, 999 in Great Britain and Hong Kong, and 000 in Australia)

116 is the number of years that the Hundred Years' War between France and England, from 1337 to 1453, actually lasted.

The Hundred Years' War (1337–1453) was a series of conflicts in Western Europe waged between the House of Plantagenet and its cadet House of Lancaster, the rulers of the Kingdom of England, and the House of Valois over the right to rule the Kingdom of France. It was one of the most notable conflicts of the Middle Ages, in which five generations of kings from two rival dynasties fought for the throne of the largest kingdom in Western Europe. The war marked both the height of chivalry and its subsequent decline, and the development of stronger national identities in both countries.

Later historians adopted the term "Hundred Years' War" as a historiographical periodisation to encompass these conflicts, constructing the longest military conflict in European history. It is common to divide the war into three phases, separated by truces: the Edwardian War (1337–1360), the Caroline War (1369–1389), and the Lancastrian War (1415–1453). Although each side drew many allies into the war, in the end, the House of Valois retained the French throne and the English and French monarchies remained separate.

One hundred [and] twenty-one' is a square (11 times 11) and is the sum of three consecutive primes (37 + 41 + 43). There are no squares besides 121 known to be of the form {\displaystyle 1+p+p^{2}+p^{3}+p^{4}}{\displaystyle 1+p+p^{2}+p^{3}+p^{4}}, where p is prime (3, in this case). Other such squares must have at least 35 digits. There are only two other squares known to be of the form n! + 1, supporting Brocard's conjecture. Another example of 121 being one of the few numbers supporting a conjecture is that Fermat conjectured that 4 and 121 are the only perfect squares of the form x3 - 4 (with x being 2 and 5, respectively). It is also a star number and a centered octagonal number.

In base 10, it is a Smith number since its digits add up to the same value as its factorization (which uses the same digits) and as a consequence of that it is a Friedman number (11^2). But it can not be expressed as the sum of any other number plus that number's digits, making 121 a self number.

Jeanne Louise Calment  (21 February 1875 – 4 August 1997) was a French supercentenarian and the oldest human whose age is well documented, with a lifespan of 122 years (and 164 days).

Here's a photo of her on her 121st birthday...

Sonnet 129: 

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Th' expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action; and till action, lust
Is perjured, murd'rous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust,
Enjoyed no sooner but despisèd straight,
Past reason hunted; and, no sooner had
Past reason hated as a swallowed bait
On purpose laid to make the taker mad;
Mad in pursuit and in possession so,
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof and proved, a very woe;
Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.
    All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
    To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.

130 km/h is the highest speed limit authorized in france. Only on the highway.

So does that mean I would be okay doing 131 km/h on the footpath in France? :unsure2:

If you're walking i guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ :gikkle:

I often set the speed regulator on my car at 132km/h. I'm a rebel -_-

The Massey Ferguson 135 (MF135) was the first of the MF100 range, and was a successor to the MF35. Production began in 1964 and ended in 1975, when it was succeeded by the MF235.Several hundred thousand were produced, and along with the sister MF165, were the most popular tractors of the era. The tractor is still sought after in the 21st century in the second-hand market due to demand in developing countries, one of the main reasons being its simple mechanical construction and high reliability.

The MF135 was most commonly fitted with a 45hp 2.5L Perkins AD3.152 3-cylinder diesel engine. Alternatives included the Perkins AG3.152 petrol variant, or a 37hp 4-cylinder Continental petrol engine in the US. It was 2 wheel drive and the gearbox had 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, (3+1, high / low range) with a mechanical clutch. Later versions (1970 onwards) came with an 8 speed transmission (4 forward & 1 reverse across two ranges, high and low). There was a multi-power option giving 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, plus a hydraulic clutch.
