Talk:Munroe number

From Geohashing

Ribbon

What should the ribbon be? Just a big number as a picture with the text "This user's Munroe number is N."? Maybe the ribbon should also include the entire chain to Randall, but I cannot see how that can be fit into a small ribbon. --Fippe 05:37, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

Not up to date

Fun idea, but the actual meet-up graph hasn't been updated since 2013. As long as that doesn't happen this is not gonna work well. --CO2 (talk) 05:43, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

Well, you are right about the picture, but as far as I know, the list itself is up to date, isn't it? --Fippe 05:51, 1 October 2015 (EDT)
Yeah, but the picture is easier to use. If you go to the big view, the text is even searchable. --CO2 (talk) 05:52, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

Non-hash meetings

How about if someone meet Randall at one of his book signing events, for example? Elipongo (talk) 08:26, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

I would argue no, because this is supposed to be a Geohashing achievement, not one of general meetings. If we would apply counting every meeting to Erdős numbers, mine would be 2, and I'm not even a scientist. --Fippe 06:39, 2 October 2015 (EDT)

Comments

Do Not Oppose as this is typically observed by users independent of an actual achievement. What would the achievement add to the current way people observe this by having a number on their user page? I think creating an achievement for this concept is unnecessary as the way it is viewed now seems to work fine, but I wouldn't have any opposition if an achievement were to be made. --KerrMcF (talk) 02:43, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Agreed. This is not really an achievement, but just a thing, a concept. I changed the page accordingly. --Fippe (talk)
