IF THE NUMBER CONTINUE TO FOLLOW AS THEY HAVE WHAT, WILL THE LETTER "Y"

REPRESENT FOR EACH. GIVEN EACH Y REPRESENTS A DIFFRENT NUMBER .

: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)

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 [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/OrthogonalCircles.html 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)
