Hehe... I learned this one in what... 7th grade??? (ok...math genius here, was found to be talented early on and ended up almost completing a major in it in college). It is one of the special triangles, those being the isosceles, equilateral, and right. Indeed, this is a extra-special triangle, in that it is a 3-4-x right triangle, another example of such being the 30-60-90 and the 45-45-90 right triangles. I had to memorize the angles and side lengths of these. For this one, the two non-right angles are roughly 36.9 and 53.1 degrees. As for the value of x... I don't know if this was just joking around, or doing the most wonderful thing in the world and trying to learn something new (I would still be in college if I could afford it). So I will just say that you can either use the Pythagorean Theorem, or goto someplace Dr.Math and either search for "Triangle Formulas" or "3-4 right triangle". I will, however, give a hint... it is a special right triangle because all the sides are an integral number of units long, and indeed, this particular combination is the smallest primitive Pythagorean Triple (another hint there). And BTW... don't feel bad about not knowing what PPT is...I learned those in a senior/graduate level math course in number theory at Ohio State, and had forgotten about it until I actually did a refresh on Dr. Math following some links. Enjoy!

lol... well if my calculations are right, that side should fall under the value of the cube root of 482, but give or take a few.

*groans* Ugh, you people weren't actually supposed to DO the math. You were supposed to giggle at it and say, "Haha, that Boingo. What would we do without her?" :) B_B

Wish I had thought of this one in High School! (I won't be letting Nic see this one, I'm sure a teacher conference would follow soon after! LOL) Oh, and to go along the lines of Spacey's post, if your a carpenter or contractor 3-4-5 (actually 6-8-10 is easier for this, but the Pythagorean Theorem itself is a great help if learned by heart in as many of its forms as you can remember ) is ingrained in your head for the making of true 90's in your project.

Well, I threw math out the windows. I sit here with AutoCAD and Invetor in front of me all day...so here is the way I would have solved it :-?

The monkey lies.... ...everyone knows 2 + 2 = 5. and for everything else, stick with 42. It's your best bet.

Re:My Kind of Math

Flak Monkey — GMT

In all seriousness (SHYA?!) The equasion is: A(squared) + B (squared) = C (squared) SO...its 9 + 16 = 25. SqRt of that is...well you know. :-@

I NEVER LIE! I just exagerate a bit. [-( And I will stick with whatever I want to. Today, I will stick to....glue.

Notice the Monkey at bottom left of the page with the shirt. HA! Thats me! B-) In the case of just bad math... we are told to round up if the decimal is .5 or greater. SO, 2.49 would round down to 2 with no decimal place. BUT, 2.49 + 2.49 = 4.98 wich would be rounded up to 5. WHALA! So, in a sence, it is a true statement....kinda

How do you know I missed it?? Maybe I was trolling to see if I could get any bites, and to liven up the thread. You won't catch me admitting that I missed it. Nope, no-sir-ee bob, not this uber-uber geek!!! ;)) ;)) ;) :)) :)) On the t-shirts, I loved a number of them in college, like the one with Maxwell's Equations, which was "And God said .... and there was Light, and the Light was good!" And I also loved to freak people out with reciting Pi or e to some 200+ places... got to be a regular contest item for the folks I hung out with at Ohio State. YUP! UBER GEEK AND PROUD OF IT!!! :)

The only thing with this is that girls = time x money isn't a constant because not all girls = time x money. Things have to be constant to be proven true, therefore, its not true. May I also bring to your attention that boys are NOT required to spend money or time with us. They just do? So there. B_B

Well... True.. Many girls=time x money.. And its a nice gesture to spend our money on girls, they would get mad if we didnt.. Were just nice like that :-D

With this statement, and those previously given, you have proven that it is EVIL to be NICE!

It's the Holiday season soon, so I will continue this thought with this holiday statement. "But Santa, naughty IS nice!" I've seen the Girl = evil equasion sometime before. Its been around. But, here is the reason why. We have to dig deep inside them, at the molecular level. Here is the Hazardous Material Data Sheet for safe handling of Women. ELEMENT: Woman SYMBOL: WO2 DISCOVERER: Adam ATOMIC MASS: Accepted as 55kg, but known to vary from 45kg to 225kg PHYSICAL PROPERTIES 1. Body surface normall covered with film of powder or paint 2. Boils at absolutely nothieng - freezes for no apparent reason 3. Found in various grades ranging from virgin material to common ore CHEMICAL PROPERTIES 1. Reacts well to gold, platinum and all precious stones 2. Explodes spontaneously without reason or warning 3. The most powerful money reducing agent known to man COMMON USE 1. Highly ornamental, especially in sports cars 2. Can greatly aid in relaxation 3. Can be very effective cleaning agent HAZARDS 1. Turns green when placed alongside a superior specimen 2. Possession of more than one is possible but specimens must never make eye contact. I know, I get thoes looks every time ;)) Its all in fun. But I have more. LOTS MORE...but I cant share. :-w

My brain hurts from reading this thread from start to finish. It can not handle it. I think my brain needs a reboot or more memory and for sure a new motherboard/cpu. My brain is currently running on a 286 with an 8" disc for the capacity.

OHHHHHHH, now that I look at the triangle in further detail... I've come to deduce that the other side aka... the hypoteneuse would equal 5 :-B lol

Hey! Carefuld there Flackmonkey! I work for the Federal Government. We had a situationaly challenged new-hire bring one of those MSDS sheets in the day after sexual harrasment awareness training. He was fired before he had shown it to more than 3 people. That said, I know lots of girls (women) who don't fit within those materail specifications. Unfortunatly I know a few who do.

Re:My Kind of Math

Flak Monkey — GMT

I know, but I dont mean anything by it, I'm a light hearted guy and have a fondness for the funny things in life. I'm sure there are plenty of items circulating among the desktops of women everywhere on thier views of men. All is fair. I've gotten a few over the years and I still have them. Even though its man bashing, it's still funny because it's all based on steriotypical fact. B-)

The math is wrong. It would be Money sq x Girls sq = EVIL So therefore...having more than one girl at a time is EVIL!
