Talk:5 (number)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is part of WikiProject Numbers, an attempt at creating a standardized, informative and easy-to-use resource about numbers. Suggestions for improving multiple articles on numbers and related subjects should go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numbers.

Actually Five's not at all bad, now. The original reception problems were caused by trying to shoe-horn the extra channel into a crowded broadcast spectrum (and having to avoid broadcasting near the south coast for fear of interfering with French tv broadcasts) and should be much improved now that more people can get it on Digital Satellite or Digital Terrestrial, and unlike the BBC and ITV they seem to have got into the habit of producing interesting half-hour documentaries that last for 30 minutes and aren't padded out to 50 or 60 minutes like the other channels!

[edit] Evolution of the glyph

Yeah, i know, for 4 and above these would make alot more sense with graphics to show the evolution. I'm going to work on some graphics. Numerao 20:04, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Five Alive

It looks like Five Alive has been duplicated here. Wiwaxia 04:31, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 5 in currency

What information on $5 notes is worth including in the article and which is not? This is an issue that also applies to a few other numbers like 1, 20, 100. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numbers#RFC: Numbers in Currency is the place to discuss the issue as it applies to the currency numbers. PrimeFan 18:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Merge template

I didn't see why Neelix felt a merge was needed, so I removed the template. --DryaUnda 10:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Old revisions moved

This page was the source of a very old (circa 2003) cut-and-paste page move to Five (TV). I have moved its original revisions (which were about the UK TV station) to that station's article. - Mark 14:45, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hebrew

In one part of the article it translates the Hebrew way of writing 5 into 'he' in another into 'heh'. is it a typo? Is it both? Please can someone who knows the correct answer either change it or enlighten me about what it is. I would really like to know. --Madi186 17:29, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mathematics

Shouldn't the simple stuff come before the more complex stuff? I've heard of primes, pentagons and pentagles, but most of the other stuff sounds pretty heavy. --John Kershaw 11:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
