Just bought an 87 CD set of Beethoven's complete works!!!

[AeolianHarp]

Good bargains Harvey.

[Michael]

. Just last month I ordered the Wand set of Beethoven symphonies for $17.

Nice bargain. That is a particularly good set.

[Harvey]

Yes, it began when I picked up a Wand Eroica at the used CD shop. As it turns out the single Eroica CD is a 1989 live performance and the one on my symphony set is from 1985. Both very good.

[PDG]

Why only 32 Ninths?

I make that 28.8 in decimal terms...

[Harvey]

I make that 28.8 in decimal terms...

Except I get 3.555... in decimal.



I just saw a CD yesterday at the used shop for about $8 USD that was two discs: Toscanini Beethoven Ninth and Missa Solemnis. If I didn't already have the Toscanini Ninth, I probably would have bought it!

[PDG]

Except I get 3.555... in decimal.

Nah, you're holding the calculator upside down...

[Harvey]

Nah, you're holding the calculator upside down...

32
__ = 3.555.....

9


If you do it in base 9 it is still between 3 and 4.

If I turn the calculation upside down which would be 9/32, I get 0.28125

So I am lost.

My apologies. I was calculating nine tenths (as a fraction) x 32 = 28.8.

Too much nut wine last night, that's my excuse...hic...

A shame this nearly passed without a follow-up comment.

Well done, Mr and Mrs Orlandi! Your contribution alone makes this set the best there is!

[AeolianHarp]

Yes, good one Armando!

[Harvey]

My apologies. I was calculating nine tenths (as a fraction) x 32 = 28.8.

But you got me going in the math department and now I think it is a very clean thing to express it in base 9 where 32/9 = 3.555.... becomes 35/10 which figures to 3.5, being that 10 now represents 9. (ooooh, almost looks like there is a 10th symphony, eh?)
