If your other name's Rigsby, I'll buy you a drink

n.b. I got this site from Daniel Finkelstein, who got it from a chap called Chris Dillow.

I love maths and numerology. So let's play a game:

Think of a number between 1 and 100 (go on then, pick that one if you must).
If your number is the same as any of the following equations, you are a winner!

Christopher Griffiths x Paris Hilton
or
Jimmy Riddle + Donald Duck
or
-- I'm not making this up --

{Arthur Crown + Jesus Christ + Brian Banana + Henry Horse + Jane Eyre + Margaret Thatcher + er, William Wanker - Kevin Keegan} Cleveland Cleveland

Click here to get the numbers and play the game

So, did you win? Congratulations if you did. Commiserations if not, but don't be blue - at least your name's not Cleveland Cleveland.
On a seasonal note, there are 5 Hal Owens - I hope you have a good'un!

  • p.s. Can you imagine the notice in the paper? "To Mr and Mrs Duck, a son, Donald"
  • p.p.s. According to the site, there are 22 Wayne Rooneys in the USA. Perhaps Steve McClaren should investigate to strengthen his squad?
  • p.p.p.s. If you're one of the 4 American Leonard Rossiters, or one of the 5 Hattie Jacques, and you're ever in Portugal, the vinho's on me!

Woo - I'm a winner! Yes, I did have to pick that one. So what do I win? Free bed and breakfast for a few nights in Portugal maybe? :o)

There's no one called Vladimir in the whole of the USA? Quite remarkable!

They've got 33 Margaret Thatchers in the US - and remarkably "more than 99.9 percent of [these] are female."

I had 62, close but no cigar, and no dirty mind :-)

There are 29 of me in the USA - they should set up this site for people in the UK.

I always knew that Hilary was a girl's name.
