The easy/silly quiz thread

I fear you are complicating it. In layman's language........there is only one number that is divisible by any single digit (1-9). No high falutin stuff........just bog standard "stuff"

That's just not true. 5,040 is also divisible by every digit. and 7,560 and 10,080 ....

I have now edited the question..............what is the SMALLEST number ?
You are obviously a mahtmet....
a mathmet....
you can work things out like.

Nah, not that. Doesn't work for 8.

2520?

is it 2520 ?

 

[Dave7]

is it 2520 ?

It is indeed.
A secondary question (debatable).
It that number has a religious significance.............do you know what it is ?

Well, obviously the smallest number is the smallest multiple of 2520 - which is 2520 itself.

No idea

No idea

According to some biblical scholars Israel was destroyed by Babylon in October 607 BCE.
Don't quote me on the rest...........but.
According to Bible prophecy,,,,,,,,,,,,Gods kingdom would be set up in 70 "times" from 607. A time being a biblical/Jewish year of 360 days then 70x360 = 2520. Applying the Biblical rule of "a day for a year" commencing BCE 607...........2520 years brings us to the year 1914.
One argument is that world war 2 broke out in Oct 2014............i.e. exactly 2520 years from the date.
Don't shoot the messenger..........I am merely telling you what many people believe.

They shouldn't. Numerology can be twisted to prove absolutely anything you want. It's solace for the gullible.

OK - back on topic - if there was one - here’s another question.

If I play this in Scotland, I will get 10 points. If I play it in Poland, I will only get 1 point.

What am I talking about?
