I think we know where the “420” in robert420 came from (see the end of the bumped 360 degrees in a circle but what about a sphere).

Possibly not a troll, but definitely a nut. We may hear about his perpetual motion machine, or how how he has proven Einstein wrong.

The only significance I attach to that number is this, and I’m thinking that’s not what you mean.

[420 (cannabis culture) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture))

Can you point me in the right direction?

It is a humerous term implying that his mind is in an altered state from drug use. What is this, nitpick day?

Haven’t we had a Robert who was a troll? Dude Roberts or something like that? I’m trying to remember if he was a troll or just really eccentric.

So, anyway, what forum is this drugged out thread in?

(Nitpick: Don’t end a sentence with a preposition. Say “In which…” instead)  
(Nitpick to nitpick: That isn’t really a rule in English. Feel free to end a sentence a preposition with.)  
(Nitpick to nitpick to nitpick: OK, but not like that. The preposition still should go at the beginning of a prepositional phrase.)

FQ. Title is “360 degrees in a circle but what about a sphere”. Don’t want to link because Discourse.

And his comments (over three posts) were

> hello and all of the best wishes to you the answer is every point of the circumference of the sphere and every point within the diameter of the sphere

> and I just thought the exact same question just now but I asked the correct question which is how many degrees are there in the circumference of a sphere so I looked up this question and this thread came up and I immediately thought of the answer because this is what is known as molecular science and also inter molecular science which includes all of the elements

> so this is and inter dimensional science but this is not the same thing as quantum physics though this is inter dimensional molecular science

Maybe we need a day to commemorate all the different drugs.

Strictly speaking, the fact that we nitpick so much makes your metaphor of a specific _day_ dedicated to nitpicking inaccurate.
