Talk:114 (number)

I think this is as far as I'll go for now. I'm just going to try to add to the pages on previous numbers. -- Anonymous User

Add section on coincidences

E.g. 114 solar years has decimal 114×365.24219 ≈ 41,638 days which is the same as base-19 nonadecimal 6169 days. That is 6×19³ + 1×19² + 6×19 + 9 = 41,638, which is very close to nonadecimal 6160 days: 6 years with one leap day has nonadecimal 616 days (6×19² + 1×19 + 6 = 2191 days), therefore 6×19 = 114 years can be approximated by converting decimal 2191×19 days = 41629 days into base-19 nonadecimal 616×10 days = 6160 days. This illustrates the approximative relationship between 114, 19 (number), 616 (number) and the ʾabjadī Waw (letter), with angles on the day-year principle in which a diameter of 114 is a "half a time" measure for an approximate cycle circumference of 358 years. Also, 6160 is the postcode of New Zealand Parliament 🤣🤣🤣 ZebrahamZA (talk) 05:34, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I wrote on your talk page, please stop adding trivia and coincidences. Meters (talk) 06:06, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Meters I think this problem belongs to a broader discussion about the intersection between coincidence, eschatology, and Wikipedia editing standards... 🤔 ZebrahamZA (talk) 06:33, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Eteethan reverted an edit that I contributed to the "In religion" section without explaining, wherein it was noted that Ellen G. White and her twin sister Elizabeth were born November 26, 1827, to Robert and Eunice Harmon at a home on Maine State Route 114.

Is it not true that E.G. White's Wikipedia page states that she was born at a home on State Route 114?

Tbh, I don't understand what the difference is between trivia and so-called coincidences, if The Gospel of Thomas "just happened" to have 114 sayings, and the Qu'ran "just happened" to have 114 chapters, and Shoghi Effendi "just happened" to pass away in 114 BE on 11-4, and a bunch of other mathematical attributes in the mathematics section "just happened" to be congruent with the number 114.

Why even include any information about 114 apart from noting that decimal 114 is after decimal 113 and before decimal 115, because every other fact attached to the number 114 are all pieces of trivia? ZebrahamZA (talk) 08:09, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
