Ms. I can't read the question, there's a bear in the way.
My goat is in a pen.
Bonus points for this guy!




"An actual picture of a MAT140 test I took. (At least the grader seemed mildly amused.)"

"Oh god. This one still pains me. In a trivia contest with some of my co-workers, one of the questions was "What is pi to 5 decimal places?". Easy - I immediately wrote 3.14159 on our answer sheet. Next question.
This is where it gets ugly. One member of our team was the ex-boss of the company, an old loud guy used to getting his way. He scrubs out my answer and imperiously announces that pi is 22 over 7, thank you very much. I start to explain that this is not right, but ALL of my co-workers have already whipped out their mobile phones and are dividing 22 by 7. ALL OF THEM.
I try to explain that 22/7 is an approximation that you give to young students to help them practice fractions, but to no avail. I even resort to the "I teach maths and am way smarter than you" tactic but it fails. Somebody writes down what 22/7 is, the ex-boss is smiling triumphantly at me, and my horror is complete.
Postscript: To demonstrate his superiority, ex-boss then 'overrules' every answer I provide for the rest of the night in a similar fashion, to the awe and accolades of the rest of the team, and we finish a predictable dead last."
"I did click "No" lol ( That is why there is no red "x" ) Sorry...but still nice work ahahh"
"In 4,000 years of mathematics no one has been able to show a ratio for pi. We will show just how to produce that ratio. They state that pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and then go on to prove that there is no ratio. Therefore concluding that the ratio is only a mere approximation of a true value. You will be surprised about how to establish a ratio for pi as well as how to prove that the present day calculation for pi is invalid."They later go on to prove that pi = 201 / 64 by using "addition - subtraction - multiplication - division and square root extraction".

- Richard Heene makes experimental helium balloon
- Heene & wife freakout since their "son" may be in the basket
- crapload of publicity, balloon comes down, son not in there
- son was actually in the Heene house attic all along
- 4chan delivers pizza to balloon boy
- news now reporting the stunt was a hoax
- charges filed against Heene
"Was it ever even possible that a 20' x 5' helium balloon could lift the weight of a six-year-old to 8,000 feet MSL? Let's take a look at some numbers. Taking Falcon Heene's father at his reported word, the balloon that news helicopters followed for two hours Thursday (because they thought Falcon was aboard) was 20 feet by five feet. We don't know if that included the compartment at the bottom -- so let's be conservative and assume it did not."
I don't have an iphone, so the cost of the app doesn't matter to me ^_^

StumbleUpon = 0.0 = super dorkyAfter gathering all of my results and putting it into this complex mathematical program and calculating means and standard deviations and something to do with chi, I found the following results:
1 = dorky

"Narrator: What's the largest number you can think of ?And one of the problems they presented:
Person 1: 100,000
Person 2: 999,000
Person 3: a million!
Narrator: In actual fact it's neither of these. The largest number is about 45 billion, although mathematicians suspect there may be even larger numbers!"
"Narrator: Eight ladies go to eight shops at eight o'clock in the morning. Each lady wants to buy eight spiders. For each spider, eight spider shoes must also be bought. But they only have eight pounds between them. With each spider costing eight pence and each spider shoe costing an eighth pence each, will the ladies have enough change for the bus ride home? A journey costing eight pence per stop and made up of eight stops."Check out the wiki entry for more information.
"The TI-10 is perfect for the primary grades. It combines popular features of the TI-15 Explorer™, which makes it a unique tool for grades K-3. The TI-10's comfortable, colorful design helps students find patterns in daily activities and helps educators reinforce math concepts in all elementary subjects."
"The Four-Color Theorem (4CT) dates back to 1852, when it was first proposed as a conjecture. Francis Guthrie was trying to color the map of counties in England and observed that four colors were enough. Consequently, he proposed the 4CT. In 1879, Alfred Kempe provided a "proof" for the 4CT. A year later, Peter Tait proposed another proof for 4CT. Interestingly both proofs stood for 11 years before they were proved wrong. Percy Heawood disproved Kempe's proof in 1890, and Julius Petersen showed that Tait's proof was wrong a year later.Go check out the rest of his post NOW.
However, Kempe's and Tait's proofs, or attempts at a proof, were not fully futile. For instance, Heawood noticed that Kempe's proof can be adapted into a correct proof of a "Five-Color Theorem". There were several attempts at proving the 4CT before it was eventually proved in 1976. See this article by Robin Thomas for a historical perspective of the problem."
"In tests in Canada, women who were told that men and women do math equally well did much better than those who were told there is a genetic difference in math ability.
And women who heard there were differences caused by environment -- such as math teachers giving more attention to boys -- outperformed those who were simply reminded they were females.
The women who did better in the tests got nearly twice as many right answers as those in the other groups, explained Steven J. Heine, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver."
"He seems to be complaining that he placed a series of calls to the bank in New York and received inconsistent information from a 'Spanish womn,'" the judge wrote. "He apparently alleges that checks have been rejected because of incomplete routing numbers."The Judge gave Chiscolm until October 23 to explain the basis for his claims, or else his complaint will be dismissed.Chin has experience with big numbers. He's the judge who sentenced Bernard Madoff to a 150-year prison sentence for what the government called a $65 billion Ponzi scheme.
Yet the money Chiscolm wants could dwarf all the bank's other problems. It's larger than a sextillion dollars, or a 1 followed by 21 zeros. Chiscolm's request is equivalent 1 followed by 22 digits. The sum also dwarfs the world's 2008 gross domestic product of $60 trillion, as estimated by the World Bank."
There is a flaw in World of Warcrafts statistics for "Total gold acquired". A couple years ago, players discovered that the most a character can hold is 2^31 (or 2147483648) copper pieces of currency. This is what is known as the "gold cap" in World of Warcraft. A single character cannot hold more gold than this in his backpack, otherwise an error is reported.
