Geogaddi Reversal PT6

This video is part 6 of my series of reversing the album "Geogaddi" by Boards of Canada, released in 2002. The record features numerous instances of backmasking and I aspire to figure out what they are. I already know a few and have shown them in this video, but trust me, there are FAR more.

Tracks in this segment:
The Smallest Weird Number
Julie and Candy
In the Annexe

If you come up with something I missed in any of these videos, TELL ME VIA COMMENT/VIDEO RESPONSE. I'd love to know, and will annotate the missing information and credit you for it :D

"The Smallest Weird Number", in it's title, is in homage to their music label, music70. "70" is indeed the smallest "weird number" in mathematic terms. May want to look that up.

julie and candy my fav

[sherbunlulz]

i thought the smallest weird number isn't scary anymore, but now that i've listened to it on reverse fuuuuuuck

[HelloNewYorkCity]

@DDRpwnerer sixtyten is also 70, which is, another reference to music70. aquarius also mentions 'sixtyten'.

lol @ 1:05

Man, you couldve just said "a number where any combination of it's divisors don't add up to the original

[razedeezy]

@DrRoy1 yesh

[DrRoy1]

@razedeezy You mean like their song "Sixtyten"?

[razedeezy]

The French do not have a word for 70, instead using "soixante-dix" (60 + 10).

old tunes vol. 1 - audiotrack 10B

@imhallowarren That's right my mistake. It was that "35 Songs" set album that we originally thought was Old Tunes, Volume 1.

[imhallowarren]

nope

But there isn't. Try it. You can make 71 by missing out the 1 and the 2, or you can make 69 by missing out the 5, but you can't make 70. I hope that explanation is clear. The first few weird numbers are: 70, 836, 4030, 5830, 7192, 7912, 9272, 10430, 10570, 10792.

[mdixon6]

When the proper divisors add up to more than the original number, the original number is said to be abundant. For 70: 1+2+5+7+10+14+35 = 74 > 70, so 70 is "abundant". Now, if there was some SUBSET of these numbers 1,2,5,7,10, 14, 35 which added up to 70, then 70 would be said to be "semi-perfect" (or "psuedo-perfect")

[mdixon6]

from the BoC pages:

A "weird number" is a number that is "abundant" but not "semi-perfect". Meaning? Take all the "proper divisors" of 70 (i.e. all the divisors of 70 except for 70 itself). They are 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35.

Doesn't The Smallest Weird Number appear reversed in "A Few Old Tunes"?
