CONTEST!!!

[Jasonic]

We do this weird trivia contest thing here at work.

As most of you know (or have figured out) my first name is Jason.

Well, today's Trivia Question is as follows:

Why could Jason's nickname be 7 - 11?

(One hint I can give is that you don't need to know anything about me personally to get the answer...)

I can give out more hints as time goes on....

The first person to guess this correctly will win a NOVEMBERS DOOM - NOVELLA RESERVOIR poster!
(No, this contest is NOT authorized by the band or The End Records. I am on the street team, and have received posters to distribute at stores, shows, etc. Figured this could be fun!)

 

[Jasonic]

Birthday is July 11?

Or...

You're open all night. :naughty:

Nope!!!

I will give a hint. It has to do with my name.

 

[Jasonic]

GK?

What?

 

[Actumen]

7-11...

I'm thinking about this. Is this something that needs over-thinking, or am I gonna hit my forehead afterwords?

 

[Jasonic]

Ok, Hint #2.
It has to do specifically with the letters in my first name.

 

[Actumen]

J=10 A=1 S=19 O=15 N=14

10+1 = 11...?

14/2 = 7 so then J+A-N/2 = 7-11?

 

[Jasonic]

J=10 A=1 S=19 O=15 N=14

10+1 = 11...?

14/2 = 7 so then J+A-N/2 = 7-11?

You are on the right track, sort of.
Though think of the "letters" more than the "numeric" value.

 

[Actumen]

7-11 = -4
10-14= -4

edit; Oh, ok.

 

[Jasonic]

7-11 = -4
10-14= -4

edit; Oh, ok.

Yeah, stop with the numbers..... Hehehehe.

 

[Actumen]

Hehe, I'm trying here! I tend to over-think things.

It's all this algebra they're trying to force into my tender brain.

 

[Actumen]

Here's some more stuff I came up with P)

-They rhyme
-Jason (5 letters) 7, and 11 are all prime numbers <--- Probably violating the number rule.
-They all end in N, which is pretty much the same as rhyming but whatever.

 

[Mort Divine]

Because your parents concieved you beyond the counter at a 7-11?

 

[Jasonic]

Ok, FINAL clue. If you don't get this then there is NO hope....

Think of the letters of my first name and the calendar.

 

[Jasonic]

Actumen,
You are in Park Ridge? I went to Maine East High School.

 

[Actumen]

7 = July
July = J = Jason

If the above is not quite right, J is also January which is your birthday I think?

11 = November
November = Novembers Doom

Jason, AKA 7-11 = me winning a Novembers Doom poster amirite?!

Edit: Boo I got beat.

 

[Jasonic]

July November

JasoN

Start with J, for July...end with N, for November.

VERY close my friend.
Now what about those letters inbetween J and N?

Clarification:

The GUYS at work say Jason's nickname should be "7 - 11".

The LADIES at work say Jason's nickname should be "7/11".
