You Must Be This Smart...

where does 2.8...............come from?

Just give me some fracking cornbread. geesh. with chilli.

and when I did, you'd have the approximate answer!!

[Patsh]

Hmmmm...

square root of the sum of the squares of adjacent sides

are they not all four adjacent,
or is there a catch here?

still cornfuzed.

[ygmir]

yes, all 4 are adjacent.

[Patsh]

where does 2.8...............come from?

That was the square root of the sum of the square root of four equal sides.

[ygmir]

each side is 4.153 inches, correct?

[ygmir]

where does 2.8...............come from?

That was the square root of the sum of the squaresroot of four equal sides.

I see one problem.

[Patsh]

Yikes.

so, square the sum of two sides, eight times...

eight, being two 'adjacent' at each of four corners

and find the square root of that.

ok, now I need a calculator.

I think yer makin it more complicated, than it is (all said, in that I might be totally full of crap on this, and not know how to read or write an equation)

Sssooooooooooooooooo...

How 'bout them little mousies?
mousies' what I like...
bite they little toes off...
(something, something, something...)

someone wrote that...



and where the heck did the 4.153 come from,

anyway???

I put 4.153 in there to make the joke/riddle work.

it's so corny, when you hear the answer..........

[Patsh]

None of that crazy arithmetic, that's all I ask.

oooops.....

[graidawg]

cant be that smart i didn't know what a fibonacci sequence was then again nor did he

[graidawg]

Using any mathematical methods, can you make 42 from the following figures:

2
3
4
9

[Fufa]

Do I have to remain smart to post? Because I just finished writing a paper on actin structure and functioning, and my brain needs a vacation from boring smarty pants stuff.

Not that all smarty pants stuff is boring....

Just my molecular biology homework. SNOOOZE

[International Incident]

Who’d of thought there were math nerds amongst us

I do love a math nerd - I can't don’t do maths very well.

[shykat]

All i know is:

[Fufa]

... No seriously, I suck at math.

Take TS Eliot, all-round heavyweight poet of the English language. What's his legacy?

Cats.

Thanks for asking.

[MyDearFriend]

oooops.....

Bwahahahahahahahaha, (((Triken))), cornbread crazy is perfectly acceptable

until you use the squared sum of the crumbs to prove the mice were eaten by the wrong cats.

Highlight text to see:

(9 - 4 + 2) x 3!

[piehole]

only if you really like pie.

somebody say pie?

Thanks, Eric!
(it's been about 4 decades since I read that...
I was hoping someone would recognize it and
write the real thing here.)

ok, I ran it into the dirt......dang.

so:
each side is 4.153 inches. Squared = 17.2475. added to eachother (4 sides) (or, times 4) = 68.99

and, as we all know, (here's the relation to corn bread), the square root of 68.99 is (approximately):8.3 or:

















8 something.

or maybe take the four out of the line, the, put the two after?
