According to what I undersood about rotator, this number cannot be, because the "5" isn't a "5" when turned upside-down because the style of the font used (unless you write it down with a pocket calculator's LED or LCD-style of font).  It's only the 6, 9, 0 and 8 which can be turned upside-down and still be a real number in almost any kind of font.  And only the 8 and 0 remains 8 and 0.  the 6 and 9 exhanges their personality...

Copperpete you are exactly right and I think Eyevet already knew this.  ;)

You're darn right that eyevet knew this... :D He just knows that he can irritate me like that with his presbyoptic rotators. ;D

I've been behaving myself lately, but posts such as eyevet's might get me started again on chiral notes, racemic notes, dalmatian notes, reversed non-inverted radar notes, double-missing-asterisk error notes, and the like  ;D ;)

I think eyevet needs a big fancy hat, poofy coloured pants, and long pointy shoes with bells on the end.

Ah yes, how could I forget... Well, actually, two fools can be better than one. Maybe you guys can put together an Eyevet and Venga Show or something?
