And there are 420 dimples on an average golf ball....

Last one I counted had 336! I guess my balls aren't average!!

The number of dimples on a golf ball varies, depending on the manufacturer and may even be different for different models made by the same manufacturer. The dimples are usually the same size as one another, but some golf balls have several different sizes of dimple on the same ball. Any number between 300 and 500 dimples is reasonable, and 336 is a common number. Not just any number will do. Golf balls are usually covered with dimples in a spherically symmetrical way, and for many values of N, it is impossible to cover the golf ball uniformly without gaps. Symmetry is important or the ball will wobble or its flight will depend on which part of the ball is forwards or sideways as the ball spins. You can get an idea of how to space dimples uniformly around a sphere by thinking about the "platonic solids" -- the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron, and placing a dimple at the corners of an inscribed platonic solid. Variations on this theme give the corners of Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes, and also the possible symmetrical locations of dimples on a golf ball.

I remember we used to play wiffle ball on Landis Green on 420 back in college.

There are two correct answers here. Neither of which are 336, 300, or 500.

The correct answer is either 332, or 392. These are the two configurations of the Titleist ProV1 and ProV1x.

These are golf balls. The rest are cheap imitations. Or, you found them in the rough...which is my favorite kind of ball -- the free ones. ProV1's are my second-favorite, by a mile.

Oh....and some periodicals and whatnot (Playboy being one of them) put a great deal of research into the original topic of this thread. And they pretty much came up with corroborating stories that all led to the origin being the San Rafael High kids "secret club." Fairly strong anecdotal evidence to support that version.

Although I've had people stand there and argue vehemently that it's police code for possession. Even in Oregon. Next time I saw them, I pulled out a citation, and proved them wrong. Not quite BODE-me.

Don't be silly.

Couldn't be more than about 415... 416 tops.

When I first noticed today's date, I knew immediately that some moron would deem it important enough to post about.

Nobody cares.

Okay Albert X 2.5

Just noticed -- if you rearrainge the numerals in 415, it can be made into...

145
