Problem For the Day
I remember in high school I used to grab people's diaries and write in specific days a "Problem For the Day". They were so much fun, and I haven't done any since. So I'm doing one now. 'Since' is nullified!
Here it is:
If five camels gave birth to as many calves as they could within a five week period, how much fluid is released in their collective water breakingses, given that five galleons of mucous weighs the same as one camel calf?

As fun as this sounds, that's just too disgusting for me to want to think about.
50 points for a correct answer!
No, the answer is:
Assuming that the first camel wieghs 4 and a half pounds when anorexic, and further assuming that the average camel's make up is 80% of it's body wieght is water, not including the hump
then
you take the 80% and divide it by the total amount of camel's (minus, of course, the anorexic camel) which would be 4, and times the whole by the expected amount of calves, 22, (minus, of course, the anorexic camel again)
let the anorexic camel be A^4 (it's wieght)
therefore
(80/4) X 22 - A^4 = 436
We then convert this wieght measurement into litres
435/100 = 43.5 litres of fluid
I was goign to come up wth an answer like that, but then decided I didn't have enough brain power during the holidays with which to do so.
well since it is correct, one would hope you were going to come up with the same thing
Oh I was. Entirely. Although I think my version would have had some more algebra in there.
nerd...
Hey, can I have a shot at the problem for the day? Actually, more the problem for tommorrow
Why does Andrew Lewis get almost 3 times the amount of comments on his site, even though he never visits it because he's probably laying in an abandoned warehouse somewhere in a pool of his own blood, mingled with the blood of his slain foes. The members of the Bronze Fist, sworn enemy of the Lewis family and international drug smugglers.
Oh, and feel free to throw a question mark in there somewhere.
You obviously have trouble grappling with the finer aspects of math, peebody. I'm sorry.
I used the number 22 because it may be 22 for us, but I was using the currency Pesos, not dollars, because camels come from Mexico.
Think outside the box peebody! You're not seeing the big picture!
meh, college rubbish
None of this logic stuff!
maths is silly. I found this page accidently once with this equation-y thing-y.
Proof that Girls are evil
First we state that girls equal time and money
Girls = Time X Money
And we all know "time is money"
Time = Money
Therefore:
Girls = Money X Money = (Money)2 (that is supposed to be a squared thingy)
And because "Money is the root of all evil"
Money = Evil )in a square root symbol)
Therefore:
Girls = (Square root of Evil)2
And we are forced to conclude that
Girls = Evil
I hope that makes sense without all the symbols...
Or you could prove it a lot easier by just looking at ludicrousity
HAHAHAHAHA WHAT A FUNNY JOKE!!!!
LMAO
This is the funniest conversation in any blog yet.
And I proclaim the winner of this problem (notive I say 'winner' rather than 'one who has given the correct answer') to...
Chickenhead! For his masterfully arty answer of silence.
Oh, and here's your 50 points.
*is silent*
What do I get? What do I get?!
You get a kick up the bum.
*kick*
As do I.
*kick*
I know alright. And don't you forget it.
