And damn, the end of the room 408 era? You know, I still have the key...but without the old crew, its no longer a home away from home. And how dare they move my whiteboard?!?!?! lads,

Sort 314 in descending order and subtract 314 in descending order from it

431 – 134 = 297

repeat

972 – 279 = 693

Now, do the same with 408

840 – 048 = 792

repeat

972 – 279 = 693

Now,

963 – 369 = 594

954 – 459 = 495

it converged!

It also reminds me of pi. 314 is nontotient. It also reminds me of pi.

I'm in room 314. I don't know what to make of it. Any ideas? ps.
