Old Man Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 6 hours ago, Logan.1179 said: What? He divided by 10 to get loaves. And neither 10 nor 20 would be correct unless the sandwiches are stacked as opposed to being laid lengthwise. This casts doubt on the entire calculation.

Bazza Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 did the calculation include the crusts* or not? (what others refer to as "heels") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Wrong response. Correct response: scribble "2/15" in the left-hand margin, dump it in the box, and pick up the next paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one asks for a beer. The second one asks for half a beer. The third one asks for 1/4 of a beer. Before the next one can open his mouth, the bartender pours two beers and walks away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 To start with, the subhead is illogical, so who is trolling who? After glancing through it, more likely trolling the logicphobes. But I digress… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 There's an image I posted in the Cute Pics thread of bees drinking from a ceramic dish with lots of beach pebbles in it (to give them someplace to stand) and water. There's half a dozen bees in the image. I have decided that bees must tell their hives about water sources like they tell them about food sources. This afternoon when I went out to top off the water there were more bees than I could count. Dozens in my guess; in the neighborhood of 30 or 50. It reminded me of the films you see of hive entrances. No way to keep track of individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Maybe I should have someone take a video clip of me dribbling water into the dish as the cloud of bees try to get their drinking water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT^2: Which also gives you a completely random question you can ask to convince those you're talking to that you are a complete and unspeakable dweeb. The question is: Quote Of the 2-digit numbers, there are exactly two where both the original number and the number plus ten million are prime. What are the two numbers?
