Re 48 - Knowing how wacky my Goddess is, you may well be right.

Rob pointed it out to me last night, and after looking at it again I was
wondering why I hadn't gotten it (I don't believe much of what's in the bible,
but if I want to read about sex and violence it is much better written than
most current works ;) ). Then again, I was expecting this to be either
technical or geographic, so it didn't occur to me. I did go through the ASCII
values at one point trying to find a pattern of the numbers, but that
obviously didn't help.

Here's an easy one:
...9B 8B 7B 6B 5B 4B 3B 2B B HB F H 2H 3H 4H 5H 6H 7H 8H 9H 10H...
though the same sequence is sometimes written:
...9B 8B 7B 6B 5B 4B 3B 2B 1 2 2.5 3 4 3H 4H 5H 6H 7H 8H 9H 10H...

Yeah, pencil hardness.

Still too low tech for me -- I was looking for something like hex. ;)

Actually, I was wondering if it might be pen width. Seems a bit more esoteric
than I remember pencil ratings to be, even in drafting.

(For the younger set, in ancient times, drafting involved paper and
pencils, which were analog "click and drag"-style pointing devices, as
seen in historical television shows such as The Brady Bunch).

(any real engineer would recognize the pencils, especially the H's since
they were mainly for draftsmen. The B end of the sequence is probably still
well known to artists.)

Um, Rane, the entries aren't unique. That's why remmers needed J2 etc.

Oh, and possibly she didn't recognize remmers's sequence because the
order was the standard Christian order, not the standard Jewish order?
(Though I have't looked back to John's original, shorter, posting to
make sure whether it went past the point of divergence.)

The second M and E aren't unique. ;-)

I thought someone might raise the uniqueness question. I will go
overboard, for the fun of it, and expand my list to:
TA, GY, CA, FL, AP, OR, QU, TO, CO, DI

Some of those look like states, but not all.
Some look like Element designations, but not all. Besides, they would
have been written as "Ca", not "CA".

Looks like I can venture a hint: the sequence corresponds to a related
strict ordinal series.

(Valerie didn't recognize books of the bible because Valerie has been a
non-religious atheist for almost all of her life.)

That's what I thought. I've been wondering why robh thought that
Valerie " of all people" should have been able to get that one.

Ah, but note that she said "almost"!
Okay, okay, my mistake...

Ok, make that "all of my life" or "ever since I was a tiny tot and realized
that Santa didn't exist".

I belive in Santa Claus. And gregc and srw can prove this with a simple
mathematical process. Viz ...

Why did I think anyone would take the problem, small though it is,
seriously? This seems to be beyond what I should expect.
