Adding temperatures
Aug 16, 2010
Although this looks like a math fail, this one is easy to explain, as Celsius is a relative scale, Google converts to an absolute scale to do the math (Kelvin) - it wouldn't make sense otherwise.
0C = 273.15K, 0C + 0C = 273.15K + 273.15K = 546.3K = 273.15C

pi percent of 1337
Jun 27, 2010
It all makes sense now :P
See this forum post on Kongregate where Yllier explains that:
"Today I was playing with a calculator and found out that Pi, 1337 and 42 are all related. Well, kinda.
3.1415 × 13.37 = 42.001855
Or you can do division
42.001855 / 13.37 = 3.14.15
I just made my day."

"Stuff" is actually a rigorously justified and well defined concept in mathematics, I use it all the time! :P
Excellent policy on cell phone use in the classroom. Try this one out teachers. If the class is an upper level class then obviously don't threaten them with fractions, cause then they'll laugh at you.
Poor students getting sick over mathematics.

Silly formula about girlfriends and stuff

I didn't make up this formula. Does it make sense to you?
As m increases, z increases, which makes sense.
As f increases, z decreases, which makes sense.
I guess it seems reasonable.

This is in a textbook:
CAUTION!
The area of a washer is pi*R^2-pi*r^2, which you can simplify to pi*(R^2-r^2), but not to pi*(R-r)^2. No matter how tempting it is to make the latter simplification, it's wrong. Don't do it.
