Re: Do we really need this forum...
Thanks for those links - I had a quick look around these two sites and while no doubt they contain a lot of relevant information, I couldn't find somewhere to ask a question like "what happens if I discover £1,000 in cash under the bed two years from now ?" If there is somewhere like that then please post the link here.
I believe there will be a demand for this forum over the next few months. If there is no demand, then have we lost anything ? I don't think so. If we didn't have the forum there would be people posting something giving out that we have no suitable forum for their questions . . .
Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Do we need this forum?
Dear CM
I truly believe that a forum like this is absolutely essential to enable us to establish all the salient facts. We have an innate curiosity in receiving knowledge on all issues and I don't see why the euro should be different.
We seek the truth, we need the truth for our very survival.
<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> You are wrong about the 12 stars<!--EZCODE BOLD END--> It has nothing to do with the euro zone countries. This in itself should prove to the world at large why it is important to be educated to the highest standards possible. I think that you should rectify your answer in the other topic. It would be best if you seek to find the correct answer yourself. But, If you need help in finding it, please let me know and I will give you some pointers.

12 stars
<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> You are wrong about the 12 stars<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->
Well, if that's the case then I'm in good (?) company since the aforementioned explanatory link is to the official EU Euro, sorry, euro, web site. Of course I'm assuming that your post isn't simply ironic...

we really do need this topic
Dear CM
Gee whiz I know that I can be a real pain in the butt sometimes, so please don't be disheartened when I tell you that your explanatory note does not bear out the existence of the truth concerning the 12 stars.
You are being a little unfair to the EU site, it doesn't mention on the pages you linked to that the 12 stars represent the 12 countries.
You are going to have to try a little harder. You know I wouldn't continue with this if I thought I could be wrong. I love to be always right.

Re: we really do not need this topic
I think there is some confusion here.:eek
CM is reminding us that there are 12 participants in the EURO lest some of us are unaware that Greece is also joining.
The 12 stars have nothing whatsoever to do with the EURO. Thay are part of the flag of the EU, currently consisting of 15 countries.|I
Once after a few tries Ireland finally ratifies the Nice treaty the membership is due to be enlarged to hundreds of countries.
The 12 stars never was meant to relate to countries, unlike the stars of the Stars and Stripes, which relate to States.
My guess is that it is the 12 apostles. Or maybe the 12 months in the year. Or maybe the 12 points on a clock. Or maybe it represents <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> absolutely nothing<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, which would be fitting for the vacuous abomination that is the EU.:evil

Starting to suffer respiratory problems. One last gasp. UDS has given a most comprehensive explanation in an adjacent and indeed the originating topic. BTW how come this debate derailed from its original topic?:evil

I was just about to post the answer - I think CM thinks I'm bluffing, but I'm not, but I had to make a diversion to the adjacent topic - thank you Virus - to peruse the reply by UDS.
I don't believe it..........UDS is wrong.
Anybody else care to have a go?

this forum is great crack!
Cut it out CM, you're just poking fun at my superior knowledge.
Sorry for the delay in replying but I so had to watch Itchy and Scratchy

I will take you all out of your misery later this evening - I'm just giving others a chance to establish the fact that I'm the brainest in AAMsville.

This forum is essential
Dear ALL
UDS said <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Thus the twelve stars symbolise the whole EU<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->
While technically correct, his reasoning was incorrect. The selection of the stars had nothing whatsoever to do with the representative member states at the time.
12 was selected because it is a symbol of perfection and completness.

challenging times on this forum
Double HUM!!!
Lisa has been challenged and consequently needs to carry out further reseach on this topic considering that UDS isn't happy with the answer provided by the <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> official EU website.<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->
My thinking, howevr, is that he delights in obfuscation

Re: What a rubbish forum
<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote>Quote:<hr> <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> "12 was selected because it is a symbol of perfection and completness"<!--EZCODE BOLD END--><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END-->
Mathematically speaking 12 is by no means <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> perfect<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->.
A <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> perfect<!--EZCODE BOLD END--> number is one whose factors add up to itself.|I <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> (really is tiresome having to constantly state the bleeding obvious on AAM)<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->|I
Thus, obviously 1 is a <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> perfect<!--EZCODE BOLD END--> number.
So is 6 (1+2+3=6).
The next smallest <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> perfect<!--EZCODE BOLD END--> number is 28 (1+2+4+7+14).
Clearly 12 (1+2+3+4+6=16) is far from <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> perfect<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->.:rolleyes
Really, the standard of mathematical literacy on AAM is appalling.:x

Ah...
... but that's only part of the story...
<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Today the usual definition of a perfect number is in terms of its divisors, but early definitions were in terms of the 'aliquot parts' of a number.
An aliquot part of a number is a proper quotient of the number. So for example the aliquot parts of 10 are 1, 2 and 5. These occur since 1 = 10/10, 2 = 10/5, and 5 = 10/2. Note that 10 is not an aliquot part of 10 since it is not a proper quotient, i.e. a quotient different from the number itself. A perfect number is defined to be one which is equal to the sum of its aliquot parts.

This is an incredibly useful forum
Read that very exciting link (oooh! aaaah!) but it seems to me that aliquots <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> are<!--EZCODE BOLD END--> divisors.
One way or the other, the link proves conclusively that 12 is a very imperfect number.:rolleyes
