No termination news from me :down:

Just a mention that we're down to one week left in 2011. Left's see if we can finish the year with a bang....

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and here's hoping for a better 2012!

I'll add it to the list.....barring an extremely lucky strike for someone else, this is the last for 2011!

:party: Party like it's 2012...

Updated....and a size check on the post shows that we're good to go: we can get (almost) as many terminations/merges in 2012 as are in the top post now and still fit them all into one post.... :grin:

Here's one to start off the new year:

224560 terminates in 3185 terms, after a bumpy ride down from 113 digits.

While running my old "find_merges" script, I've noticed that:
241506 merges with 4800
816792 merges with 36348 (reserved by Greepley)
correct?

Yep, I just found 241506 last night:
241506.2822 merges with 4800.7

I noticed 816792 a couple weeks ago also (it should actually be credited to 2011). I didn't say anything at the time and then I couldn't remember which sequence it was so I just figured it would turn up eventually. Which it has. :smile: I assume Greebley found the merge, but his last post was Oct. 19th.

Yes, in true capitalist style I don't do anything myself, my workers do it all for me. :smile: I've had much more success in terminations by following the workers' simple rules than by trying to pick winners myself... I'm sure there's some life lesson in there but I don't seem to be learning it.
