The Mystery of the Obnoxiously Puzzling Username

Many have wondered about the possible meaning of r15s11z55y89w21's 15-character long username, and many different conjectures have been made. Here are a few of the myriads of conjectures:

-Screwed Up Chemical Formula

-dragon96 proposed "really outstanding student kill zero cats yearly, kevin wu

-james4l found a method of deriving part (but only a small part) of r15s11z55y89w21's real name from his username

dragon96 has been highly discouraged due to r15s11z55y89w21;'s username, as the username and the corresponding person's height presents a huge counterexample for The dragon96 Username-length-Height Correlation Theory.

The Fifteen Numbers

In r15s11z55y89w21's early blog, he posted 15 numbers in the blog description. Afterward, he rarely posts the 15 numbers as a whole. He believes these 15 numbers to be really lucky for some unknown reason, and when asked how the 15 numbers are derived does not wish to disclose the response. dragon96 was the only user that has taken a little time to attempt memorization of the 15 numbers, but has long since forgotten them.
