Funny

 

this is some funny stuff,

 

saw this one on some other site, if u really dont know the answer to a question simply write...

 

I refuse to anwer this question on the grounds that it conflicts my religious beliefs.

Not math but:

For those who think that they got enough for retirement , I intend to prove that every 1$ you have =1 cent

 

Follow me:

 

1 $=100 cents (true )

100= 10 X 10 (true)

10 = 0.1 (true)

0.1 X 0.1 = 0.01 true )

sooooo

100 = 0.01

thus

100 cents (1$) = 0.01 (1c)

 

Now do not spend too much time on OFC, you need to work harder

[keram]

After you figured out what is wrong with your money . Try this:

 

Farmer has 17 horses and three sons. In his will the oldest will get 1/2 of the hord, middle one 1/3 and the youngest 1/9

with one condition - all horses has to be alive (do not cut them in pieces)

[Joey]

9, 5 and 3?

[Rizzo]

10 = 0.1 (true)

 

huh? Since when does ten equal one tenth? Methinks I find the error in your logic.

[keram]

1/2 of 17 = 8.5

1/3 of 17 = 5.66666666666666666666666666666

1/9 of 17 = 1.888888888888888888888888888

total= 16.0555555555555

 

Close, but you need to cut them very precise

Condition was they have to be alive

I was typing tooo fast

it should say:

10c =0.1$

[Rizzo]

9,6, and 2?

[bigjimmcbob]

make some glue with one, then you have 9 6 and 2

[keram]

9,6, and 2?

 

You are right , but can you explain your calculations ?????????? :

thumbsup_anim:

 

Because:

 

1. 9 is not 1/2 of 17

2. 6 is not 1/3 of 17

3. 2 is not 1/9 of 17

For interested another mathematical trick.

 

We will be adding 3 (three) five digit numbers. The trick is that I wil give you a total of them (adding ) after I see yours first Number. how it works?

 

1. type any 5 didgit number (here or PM )

2. I will post or send (pm ) the answer

3. type the second 5 digit number

4 I will type my 5 digit number

5 Add them all and you will have an answer ( see 2)

 

The trick is : I have no idea what your second number will be ( but I have already the total )

Anybody wants to try ?

Proof that “2 is equal to 1”

 

Assume..............................................a = b

Both sides multiplied by a.....................a square = ab

Subtracted from both sides b square......a square – b square = ab – b square

Factored both sides...............................(a - b )(a + b ) = b(a - b )

Divided both sides by (a – b )................(a + b ) = b

Replaced a by b...................................2b = 1b

Divided both sides by b.........................2 = 1

 

QED

 

Do you agree or not?? Any comments ???????

 

carp-starter

 

NOTE - just in case

 

"a square" is the same as "a times a". I cannot type in on this site, "a to the power of 2"

Proof that 2 is equal to 1

 

Ask any divorce lawyer it is the equation/analogy they use in court!

You are right , but can you explain your calculations ?????????? :

thumbsup_anim:

 

unfortunately I cannot, other than doing the calculations and then rounding!

[keram]

You cannot round it up (or down ) because you will have to cut some horses in pieces ( condition was they have to be alive). This is how it works:

 

The mistake you did not noticed is that ( adding fractions here ) 1/2 +1/6 + 1/9 =17/18 not 18/18 ( 1 hord )

So what they did ? ( I do not know if it was the oldest ( experienced ) or youngest ( smartest )

but they've borrowed one horse from the neighbour. Now they have 18 horses.

1/2 of 18 is 9

1/3 of 18 is 6

1/9 of 18 is 2

 

9 + 6 + 2 =17

 

They have one horse extra. Returned it to the neighbour and everybody is happy.

Do you agree or not?? Any comments ???????

 

I do not agree and this is why:

 

In your calculation

a square – b square = (a - b )(a + b )

it is not true ( reserved my explanation for later)

[urbanangler1990]

this was supposed to be a funny mathematical answers thread by stupid kids, where da heck did it turn into not funny problem solving?

[kemper]

"a square – b square = (a - b )(a + b )"

 

Thats false.

And heres why...

 

You have to expand (a-b )(a+b ), using FOIL.

NOTE: I will use the ^ symbol as "squared"

It comes out to... a^+ab-ab-b^

 

and now that I have typed all this.. I realize that I am absolutley incorrect and you are right.

 

continue.

Silverado ... you just caused coffee damage to my keyboard ! Thats hilarious !!!

[glirw]

I take away an important lesson from this hilarious thread : If you can't wow them with your intelligence, might as well daze them with your humor and get part marks !!

[douG]

For the fun one about 2=1, the mistake is that you divided both sides by (a - . BUT..., you started out by saying that a=b. This means that you just divided by zero. You can divide by zero if you like, but you can't say what the answer is, no matter how hard you try.

 

For Keram's retirement poser, all the fun goes out if you try to keep track of the units, i.e., c or $.

For those who think that they got enough for retirement , I intend to prove that every 1$ you have =1 cent

 

Follow me:

 

1 $=100 cents (true )

100= 10 X 10 (true)

10 = 0.1 (true)

0.1 X 0.1 = 0.01 true )

sooooo

100 = 0.01

thus

100 cents (1$) = 0.01 (1c)

 

Now do not spend too much time on OFC, you need to work harder

1 $=100 cents (true ) >>>> $1.00=100¢

100= 10 X 10 (true) >>>> $1.00= 10²¢

10 = 0.1 (true) >>>> $1.00= $0.1X10 (multiple is ten..not exponent)

0.1 X 0.1 = 0.01 true ) >>>> To make this true both sides must be multiplied by 0.1 not just one side

sooooo >>>> soooooooo

100 = 0.01 >>>> $0.10=10¢

thus >>>> thus

100 cents (1$) = 0.01 (1c) >>>> 100cents=100cents

[keram]

Rick, you are very close to find the error in my calculation, but you are not there yet.

This is what you came to

100 cents (1$) = 0.01 (1c)

last bracket should say (1$) anyway.

This was exactly my point that 1$ = 1c. The error has nothing to do with multiplying both sides by the same factor.

 

Going farther is getting even worse. Because 10$ is equal to 0.1c

 

10$ = 1000c

1000 = 10 X 10 X 10

10c = 0.1$

thus

0.1 X 0.1 X 0.1 = 0.001

1000c (1$) =0.001$

so 10$ = 0.1c

 

This is the hint from your calculation

100= 10 X 10 (true) >>>> $1.00= 10^2¢

Error is here
