Hey, I have a mission for you.

It's sort of split in two, like my moods have been, lately. Razz

The first part of the mission is to figure out what this number is. Once you've got that, e-mail me at pachinko.chance (at) gmail . c0m to see if you've sussed it out. (I totally give out hints, don't worry)

The second part of the mission is to make your own image - make it like a poster, or a mysterious postcard, or a calling card by which you will proclaim your own number.

Submit your mission to the WWO-org-a-licious site, and be sure to tag it with words like mission, and math is hard.

Ready, set, go!

I'd say it has something to do with the decimal version of the fraction 13/21.

EDIT:
Well, it could really be any number of fractions with 21 as the denominator:
Code:
     1/21 =    0.047619047619047619:::
     4/21 =    0.190476190476190476:::
    10/21 =    0.476190476190476190:::
    13/21 =    0.619047619047619047:::
    16/21 =    0.761904761904761904:::
    19/21 =    0.904761904761904761:::
   100/21 =    4.761904761904761904:::
  1000/21 =   47.619047619047619047:::
 10000/21 =  476.190476190476190476:::
100000=21 = 4761.904761904761904761:::


Could it be a Fibbonacci reference?

Looks like she got tired of waiting

It looks like Pachinko got tired of waiting. On her WWO entry for today, she explains the answer to be .07 percent Oh well.
