MathBabbler made a joke about drinking during class about how the drinking age 18 when he went to college and that in Wisconsin they sang "999 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" instead of "
99
Bottles of Beer on the Wall."A few days earlier MathBabbler had posted nBABs for the numbers 94, 95, and 96. After posting the nBAB for the number 96, he observed that he had nBABs for all of the nineties excepted 98 and
99

99
is a Kaprekar number. "A Kaprekar number for a given base is a non-negative integer, the representation of whose square in that base can be split into two parts that add up to the original number again. For example, 297 is a Kaprekar number for base 10, because 297^2 = 88209, which can be split into 88 and 209, and 88 + 209 = 297."99^2 = 9801 9801 split into two parts: 98 01 98 + 01 = 99 It's true! 99 is a Kaprekar numberNote: On 13 March 2009, the MBNA didn't check for Kaprekar numbers.

Back on 1 February 1999, long before GDT ever did a math class (i.e. pre-MathBabbler days), he wrote this Java program that prints the lyrics to "
99
Bottles of Beer on Wall and speed at which the lyrics get printed slows down as the number of bottles of beer on the all approaches zero.Update::2010.06.10
John Wooden, MathBabbler's favorite coach, died at the age of
99
on 4 June 2010.The MBNA had new functionality added to it since this nBAB was created. The following is new MBNA output.
