Admin Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 My daughter just posted on facebook... Feeling confused my maths assignment questions are pretty much asking them like this: If sarah had 5 cookies and gave her brother 2, calculate the distance from here to the moon in mm
nomadpete Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Hmmmm Yeah, I remember suffering through maths like that...... Can I use my slide rule for that one? At least they didn't want the answer in tenths of an inch. Or Kilderkens
old man emu Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Then there was the mathematician who was a hopeless dreamer. Only ever worked with imaginary numbers. OME
Marty_d Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 My daughter just posted on facebook...Feeling confused my maths assignment questions are pretty much asking them like this: If sarah had 5 cookies and gave her brother 2, calculate the distance from here to the moon in mm 363,105,021,000 mm to 405,696,310,000 mm depending on the orbit, your distance from the centre of the Earth, and the thickness of Sarah's biscuits.
bexrbetter Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Reminds me; If there were 4 crows sitting on a fence and you shot one, how many would be left?
PA. Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 If I had a 24 can slab of beer and someone asked for 2, how many I would now have? 24, he can buy his own beers.
Admin Posted March 27, 2017 Author Posted March 27, 2017 No, the answer is 48 because you would have told him to get your own and when he comes back he would have had to get you another doz for the cheek of asking for yours in the first place
Phil Perry Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 OK, not really maths, but. . . I was in a supermarket earlier today, I saw this lovely Blonde lady staring intently at the cartons of Orange juice. When I went around again, she was still there, so this grabbed my interest, and when I looked over her shoulder, I realised the problem,. . . It said on all the cartons,. . . 'CONCENTRATE' (I'll go and get me coat. . . .)
Jerry_Atrick Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Reminds me; If there were 4 crows sitting on a fence and you shot one, how many would be left? none because the others would fly away Correct! Surely there would be one left - the (assumed) dead crow... Or have I missed something?
bexrbetter Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Surely there would be one left - the (assumed) dead crow... Or have I missed something? Well if you missed the Crow there would be none.
Jerry_Atrick Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 But what if one was deaf and defied the flock? (OK - clutching at straws with that one)
Phil Perry Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 But what if one was deaf and defied the flock? (OK - clutching at straws with that one) Well,. . .according to David Attenborough,. . . .They have some sort of weird emergency sign Language Jerry. . . . I've no doubt that the Boss Crow 'said' something like. . "Faaaaaaaaark." . . .which roughly translated means. . . ."Hey guys,. . . .let's get the flock out of here". . . . . .?

facthunter Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Have you noticed that very skinny kid in town near the shop front marked "Watch Repairs"? Nev
