Talk:2905: Supergroup

Title text

Isn't the sum in the title text wrong? It should be 99 Luftballoons (or the English cover 99 Red Balloons) + 101 Dalmatians + I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) = 700 balloons, dalmatians and miles (not 1,200).--141.101.69.103

Maybe it's about Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles"? 172.69.65.245 22:13, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Note that I'm Gonna Be is actually about walking 1000 miles, not 500 miles. 172.70.39.41 08:36, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Right! "I-hai would walk five hundred miles, and I-hai would walk five hundred more..." Transgalactic (talk) 15:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

"cover" implies that the combined song already exists and was performed by some other group. I would expect that this supergroup would have created the medley themselves, to fit their particular genre. Barmar (talk) 22:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

"101 Dalmations" isn't a well known song AFAIK. It was written as the title song of the Disney movie, but wasn't actually used. Wikipedia says it got released on other albums. Barmar (talk) 22:38, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

A supergroup cover of 99 Luftballons would probably be awesome. --The-Daleks (talk) 20:43, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

I don't know all the bands, but it looks like they are: 21 Pilots, 5 Seconds of Summer, 4 Non Blondes, 2 Live Crew, 100 GEC, 3 Doors Down, 9 Inch Nails, 1 Republic, 1 Direction, 30 Seconds to Mars.

Missed Opportunity (to n3rd about maths)

I am surprised there were no references to orthosymplectic or superunitary groups.

That's what I originally thought the joke would be about. This is much more mundane. Barmar (talk) 22:34, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Well if G and H are groups and G ⊇ H, then G is a supergroup of H, isn't it? --Coconut Galaxy (talk) 13:39, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

If you know the math, could you please check my edit? All I know about it is the name, and that it has something to do with supersymmetry in string theory. Transgalactic (talk) 14:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

I think that the description misses the connection to math:

• Group is a mathematical concept (**set** of elements with some properties and operations)
• Sub-group is a subset of a group that retains the properties; Super-group can be constructed similarrly;

I added a sentence about supergroups in mathematical physics, feel free to add anything that's missing for a good explanation. Transgalactic (talk) 14:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Other Bands/Artists/Movies/Songs with Numbers

throw in:

Five Finger Death Punch

Six Feet Under --Lupo (talk) 13:37, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

No one's mentioned Three Days Grace yet? 172.68.2.101 05:43, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

I remember a great film, The Magnificently Dirty Nineteen. 172.69.195.155

Don't forget the sequel The Fantastic Ocean's Taking of Pelham Slaughterhouse 143 Barmar (talk) 14:07, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

And the supercut "The Fast and the Furious 41" --Lupo (talk) 15:01, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

I like the alternate cut: 108 Dalmation Nation Army. 172.69.247.48

I'm going to hold out for The Blink and Ben Folds 2162. 162.158.159.189 22:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Not to be confused with the album Greatest Discount Hits with classic songs like Two Bridges Road, Twelve Ways to Leave Your Lover, and 1 Legit 1 Quit. 172.69.247.57 06:51, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

WHO THE FUCK REMOVED MY GOOGLE-INFESTED WIKILINKS

Better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. 172.70.86.174 16:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Is it only me, or is there no actual edit in this diff? (Every now and then I see edits that indicate a paragraph gets replaced with itself, and not even an extra space removed, or a missing one added, which at least should highlight yellow or blue in the appropriate block of text.) 172.71.178.190 02:58, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

There's actually a spaces difference. "100/2=50" was edited into "100 / 2 = 50". --DukeBG (talk) 19:57, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Well, that's strange. I (thought I) had checked every line-end to look for different rewrapping. Which is definitely there now. But I honestly believe was not at time of posting. I accept that I'm probably more likely to be wrong about that than the backend code being strangely capricious, but - seriously - I did everything but copy the two texts to a notepad window. Would have done, if I was on a desktop (which would let me line things up horizontally and even search-and-replace strings until the diff reveals), but that's not so easy to juggle on my touchscreen device. And, regardless, I would normally expect even subtle spaces (added/removed) to be highlit.

But now I know. End of that query, at least. 172.70.91.62 22:01, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
