(Reuters) - The auction for wireless patents Nortel Networks this week was Google's mysterious like $ 1,902,160,540 and $ 2,614,972,128.
Math whiz recognize these numbers as Brun's constant and Meissel-Mertens constant, but it surprised many of the people involved in the auction, after three people with direct knowledge of the situation on Friday.
"Google provided with songs that are not just numbers," one of the sources said.
"It became clear that the distance between Earth and the Sun welcome. One of them was the sum of a famous mathematical constant, and then when it came to $ 3 billion, the bid pi," the source said, adding that the bid was $ 3141590000.
"Either they were very confident or they were bored."
It was not clear what Google strategy worked, whether it would rival bidders to confuse, intimidate them, or simply to express the lack of respect, which is part of her persona. Whatever the reason, Google's antics do not work.
