You're all going to get a bit stuck when we get to 1260 though

Your link is wrong.

Now corrected. Thanks.

If anyone's interested, QI are now seven ahead of us on 1284, though they declined my offer of a formal challenge.

And I'm delighted to say we've sneaked ahead again.

Yippee!

I originally proposed a race to 1300, but they said they wanted their game to stay the same as it always had been. Nevertheless I regard it as a matter of honour to get there before them...

I'm going to guess that the letter E appears 1294 times in chapter 35 of Moby-Dick. Other than that, there's a vague resemblance to the sea, but no apparent specific connection to that particular chapter as far as I can see.

(Probably could have waited until 1296 for this.)

Ah, but 1296 is simply 6^4. How many other four-digit numbers can be expressed using only two digits?

Let's see:

3^7, 3^8, 4^5, 4^6, 5^5, 6^4, 6^5, 7^4, 8^4, 9^4.

Or more complicated ones like (sin(1°))^-2...

The Counting thread and The Journey threads have met at 1,297, in Axminster!

I bet you can't get the Journey thread to any of the locations in the 1298 post though

Bet I can...!

Oh, very good! Perhaps we have the seeds of a new game here

P.S. We beat QI by 9 (according to my rules, anyway).

OK, quiz time. I have already mentioned that road in the Counting thread, albeit under another name. What was it?

I think it was the former A604!
