Usernames

by math_explorer, Nov 15, 2011, 4:11 AM

Without looking at any list of usernames, can you think of well-known AoPSers whose usernames have the same first and last characters?
(as in, X's first = Y's first, X's last = Y's last)

There is exactly one pair among the top 50 posters as of the time of this post (three if you decide to compare characters case-insensitively).

Well that was random.

I decided to time myself with the clock on my computer.

5 seconds of thinking: fedja;asf
65 seconds of thinking: saagarjha;ahaanomegas
210 seconds of thinking: Altheman;nkouevda (case-insensitive)
(decided to stop here)

Apparently, it's much harder than I thought.

It means he didn't find any; he only got first = last and last = first

1 second of thinking: JBL/james4l (yes, I did come up with it. I didn’t copy)
2 seconds of thinking: Potla/Pocha
3 seconds of thinking: musicnmath/mahanmath
7 seconds of thinking: bzprules/BigSams

If I were to post this comment 10 days ago, then after 11 seconds of thinking: alkahfi/amparvardi. This is invalid, now, since amparvardi is no longer amparvardi. If you had said “alphabets” instead of “characters”, I would have kunny/knittingfrenzy18 after 15 seconds of thinking.

Nice blog I read pretty much whenever you make a new post, but I don't comment.

I see, that part of the CSS needs a lot of tweaking.
