logical numerical order to follow
< 1*             {04-01} {04-01}{08-06}{06-05}{13-10}{09-06}   {08-?}

2*	{14-11}{09-07}{11-07}{07-17}{21-12}{13-09}  {09-?}

6*	{34-33}{36-29}{38-37}{29-33}{32-36}{22-35}  {30-?}

IF THE NUMBER CONTINUE TO FOLLOW AS THEY HAVE WHAT, WILL THE LETTER "Y" REPRESENT FOR EACH. GIVEN EACH Y REPRESENTS A DIFFRENT NUMBER.

IF THE SEQUENCE OF NUMBER CONTINUE AS THEY HAVE WHAT WOULD THE Q STAND FOR ON EACH GIVEN GROUPOF NUMBERS> I nee you logical answer on this please words will never express the appreciation i will be indebt to you for helping me on such>

email me please with you logical input at --email removed-- yulis rod thnk you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.166.90.206 (talk) 05:04, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a job interview question for the NSA. Or maybe a connect-the-dots puzzle.  Seriously, I think you need to give more information on what we're looking at here.  -- Tcncv (talk) 05:28, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yep, the question makes no sense without more information. I don't see any Y's or Q's or anything related to them in the data provided. --Tango (talk) 10:36, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The only logical answer to this question would be PST's policy. --131.114.72.215 (talk) 13:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * There seem to be some additional clues here, (the OP's talk) .  hydnjo talk 21:36, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Some addition clues, yes, but still nowhere near enough to understand what we're being asked. --Tango (talk) 22:00, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

circles
what does it mean for two circles to be orthoganal. the article only really uses the term in the context of vectors and vector spaces; and I'm not sure what it means in this context. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.37.225 (talk) 20:11, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm, which article are you reading? I can imagine what they might mean is circles intersecting at right angles, but that is only a guess. --TeaDrinker (talk) 20:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's certainly it. See MathWorld article. -- Jao (talk) 20:16, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Couldn't it also mean the planes on which the circles lie intersect each other at right angles, whether the circles intersect or not ? StuRat (talk) 21:17, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Conceivably in some contexts it could mean that, but more often it would mean they meet at right angles. But let's get the spelling right: orthogonal.  "gonia" is Greek for "angle"; it is NOT "gania"! Michael Hardy (talk) 23:33, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
