It starts with "Gi" and ends in "pin ark", I believe, but that's all I can tell ATM. Circeus 17:18, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

  1. G.I.
  2. RT (Room temperature)
  3. Mt (Mount?)
  4. Pi (?)
  5. Ac (Actinium, dunno, from NaCl?)
  6. RK, radial keratotomy

Girtmtpiacrk, and I anywhere near? Haha, I'm not seeing anything - fiveless 11:35, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

AllyUnion's guess

edit
  1. GI for GI Joe
  2. ?
  3. ?
  4. ?
  5. Na: Sodium

4 is probably FT (Fourier Transform), 5 is Na, 6 is RK. Ftnark doesn't sound natural. Oh well.


So: "Girth of snark". A Petersen graph is the smallest snark; every snark contains the Petersen graph as a minor, so I'm guessing the girth of a snark is equal to that of a Petersen graph: 5. Eugene van der Pijll 21:12, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

rents answer

edit

Gi - Gi Joe Rt - Room Temperature Ho - High Ground abbreviation in old times Fs - Fourier Series Na - Sodium symbol Rk - Radical keratotomy

It comes out to be girth of snark. Girth and Snark have a similarity which is the Petersen Graph. The girth of the petersen graph is 5 and the snark of the graph is 10. So five of ten is 1/2. The answer is 1/2 or 50% or .5. --Rentastrawberry 02:24, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

which is not an integer... Not that I have been able to figure this out. Has anyone tried re-arranging the letters? JimCollaborator «talk» 02:29, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

Eugene is right, 5 is the right answer. Grue 05:10, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
