Is there anything more divine than a triple double?

Get a quintuple double and I'll believe that you're God.

I'll bet you $5 there is.  Double or nothing???

Let's say at the outset that non-primitive triples (eg (6, 8, 10) and (9, 12, 15) are not particularly interesting. What are interesting are primitive ones eg (3, 4, 5) in which the 3 members of the triple have no common factors. After all, any fool can multiply a primitive triple by 2, 3, 4 etc, what we are after when we go triple-hunting are primitive ones. \n\nAnd what we really want is a method of generating triples, so that gaving found some, we can make more. Preferably a method that only generates primitive triples, so we don't have to exercise quality control and weed out non-primitive ones afterwards.\n\nAnd like the Spice Girls, what we really, really want is a method that generates triples from triples not from generating numbers that don't have any aparent connection with triples being plugged into a formula. Preferably a method that can generate all possible primitive triples just from (3, 4, 5), knowing only that one and no other. That would be so much more elegant and satisfying, especially if some findamental structure and relationships between triples were thereby revealed.\n\nThere are an infinite number of triples. So we want a method that generates the lot, not just a subset of them.\n\nAnd triples have many unusual and unexpected properties, making them rewarding to study, if you like finding patterns in nature. This can create a sense of awe and wonder and beauty, in addition to the aesthetic pleasure of elegance of solution.\n\n====\n\nAt the age of 5 I discovered two simple rules for generating primitive triples. As I recall, I only knew (3, 4, 5) and wondered if there were any more like that. Curiosity got me started. I knew no algebra at five.\n\n(1) take any odd number, square it, halve that, take the numbers either side.\n\nThus 3 => 9 => (3, 4, 5)\n5 => 25 => (5, 12, 13)\n7 => 49 => (7, 24, 25)\n9 => 81 => (9, 40, 41) \n11 => 121 => (11, 60, 61) etc\n\nAll such triples have their two largest sides differ by 1. Note how the other terms advance in an Arithmetic Progression, in steps of 8, 12, 16, 20 etc.\n\n(2) Take any even number divisible by 4, square it, divide that by 4 and take the numbers either side\n\nThus 4=> 16 => 4 => (4. 3. 5)\n8=> 64 => 16 => (8, 15, 17)\n12=> 144 => 36 => (12, 35, 37)\n16 => 256 => 64 => (16, 63. 65)\n20 => 400 => 100 => (20, 99, 101) etc\n\nNB Even numbers that are NOT divisible by 4 (6, 10, 14 etc) will generate triples but they are not primitive triples. And it doesn't work for 2.\n\nAll such primitive triples have their two largest sides differ by 2. Note how the other terms advance in an Arithmetic Progression, in steps of 12, 20, 28, 36 etc.\n\nHaving worked out these two rules for generating triples, in my naivete, I thought that was all there was to it. That these were the only triples in existence.\n\nI told parents and teachers, who didnt know of any other triples and weren't able to help me develop my theories.\n\nNobody told me about (20, 21, 29). If they had have done I would have realised that whilst there was a difference of 1 between two sides here, it was between the two shortest sides, not the two longest sides, so there was almost certainly a series of such triples to be discovered. and more than was dreamed of in my philosophy.\n\nNote that 20 x 20 = 400, divide by 16 = 25 and then take two numbers that are 8 apart either side => (20, 21, 29) so it has similar properties. \n\nIndeed there is such a series, the next triple in it is (119, 120, 169). \n\nNote that 120 x 120 = 14400, Divide by 100, and get 144, take two numbers that are 50 apart, either side and voila we get 119, and 169, so similar properties exist here, too.\n\nYou can generate each from the previous one in the series, and each new triple has legs that are about 6 times the size of the previous one. And the hypoteneise is about 1.41 times the lengths of the legs as these values converge o

Just a shot: maybe because you double clik it and you don't need to......

It's when you obtain double digits in two statictical categories for a double double or three categories for a triple double. For example, a double double would be scoring 10 points (or more) and having 10 rebounds (or more).  A triple double would be having double digits in 3 different categories.  The usual statistic categories are: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and turnovers.

triple is a real pain in the ***

No. it only matters that you hit a single a double a triple and a homer no matters if it an inside the park homer. This can happen in any order. please give me the best answer i never had one.

you cant double nothing

answer is 3s. any no. multiply by 1 is the no. itself.

yes. im not sure, but have u SEEN this kids numbers? he averages more then 30 points, 7 rebounds , and 6 assists a game. THATS CRAZY! actually, i would say jordan is better but i think this kid in a couple of years might average a triple- double.

I'm pretty sure it's three....

I believe I read somewhere that you are attracted to doubles.\nMy birthday is February 22. When I was young, before I read this, I was obsessed with twins.

A double-double is a basketball term, defined as an individual performance in a game in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in any two of these categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots. The most common double-double is a combination of points and rebounds, and then next is points and assists.\n\nDouble-doubles, unlike the more difficult triple-doubles (or ultra-rare quadruple-doubles), are very common in the NBA, and in fact there is usually at least one player in each NBA game that manages to record one. In each NBA season, rarely do more than a handful of players average a double-double.\n\nA triple-double is a basketball term, defined as an individual performance in a game in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in any three of these categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots.

Yes it is possible, in fact it is only pure coincidence, also you can have a double, a person who look exactly like you and was born in another country very far from us..☺

Clyde Walcott did it for the West Indies against Australia back in 1954-55 in the West Indies\n\n126 & 110  v Australia     Port of Spain        1954/55    \n155 & 110  v Australia     Kingston             1954/55 \n\nYou could also make an argument for Ricky Ponting as he scored the double in A home and away series recently against Sth Africa.  Although it is technically 2 different series, they were played in succession.\n\n120 & 143* v South Africa  Sydney               2005/06    \n103 & 116  v South Africa  Durban               2005/06

No, you could be doing something like multiplying each number by two
