Number Tournament: PI vs FORTY-TWO
[link to all polls]
pi
seed: 19 (30 nominations)
previous opponent: the fine-structure constant
class: irrational number
definition: despite claims people often make about it, not known to be "normal" (that is, containing every possible sequence of digits). as far as we know, it could run out of fives at some point.
42 (forty-two)
seed: 14 (38 nominations)
previous opponent: googolplex
class: cultural
definition: is the story about "the point" of it as The Answer being that it's the ASCII codepoint for an asterisk actually true. like yeah codepoint (decimal) 42 in ASCII is an asterisk, but is that intentional or is that just a popular fan theory that people keep repeating as fact. I was under the impression that it was just a funny sounding number

okay so I have no idea how huge the fandom is or whether there even is one but a friend put me onto this show called Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and I was immediately excited because I saw it was based on a series(?) by Douglas Adams and I fucking adore hitchhiker's guide and like I'm 4 episodes in and it's just brilliant like I haven't enjoyed tv like this in so so long I love the characters I love the humour I love the story and I definitely wanna draw art of it at some point lmaoo

What even is sleep? Who even needs sleep? Anyway, another night stitching. This time I give you the symbols of the nations from Avatar. Also a leaf of Lórien brooch. Of course I had to include something from one of my favourite things ever.
