The answer to life, the universe, and everything is elite pie?
...makes sense...
Which is all well and good but I like math a lot better when it's serving a purpose. The fact that A=L+E and if it doesn't, you are WRONG!!! is very comforting.crimson5pheonix said:Fun times. Math is all sorts of fun. Because it makes perfect sense when it makes absolutely no sense at all.SimuLord said:I stuck a qualifier in there about 2 decimal places. Close enough for government work.crimson5pheonix said:Some idiot on this thread won't bother with remembering that the OP equation doesn't really add up either. But if we want an equation that's more in line with the original,SimuLord said:I get that it's a joke, but some idiots believe that crap.crimson5pheonix said:That's if you stop and solve the equation there. But as it stands, they're still variables. If you continue algebraic simplification, you end up with the final numbers. You only divide by 0 in hindsight. And it's a joke anyway, kinda how like 1337% of pi isn't really 42, but it is with simple math.SimuLord said:In step 4, both sides are set to zero (a-b=0, so 0*each factor makes the equation 0=0). You don't divide the zero out.crimson5pheonix said:Division by zero is possible! And it breaks reality.
Given:
a=b
a[sup]2[/sup]=ab
a[sup]2[/sup]-b[sup]2[/sup]=ab-b[sup]2[/sup]
(a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b)
(a+b)=b
a+a=a
2a=a
2=1
You fail algebra forever.
2*2=X
2*(1+.5+.25+.125 etc.)=X (Geometric expansion)
2*(1+.5)=X (Reducing to 2 significant figures)
2*1.5=X
3=X
Therefore, 2*2=3
2*2=3, and for values of 2 where 2.25<X<2.5, 2+2=5. My Statistics professor used that as Exhibit A for why she'd mark us down if we ever rounded a figure before the final answer.
But it needs to go off into the wacky. It's how we move forward, looking into strange abstracts that may coincide with nature. Knowing enough math to calculate a margin of error means we can see what causes the margin of error. It's the strange math that leads us to forces unknown.SimuLord said:Which is all well and good but I like math a lot better when it's serving a purpose.

Debits and credits and net income statements
Depreciation and tax code abatements
Keeping compliance with government strings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the trial doesn't balance
When the books go mad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feeeeeeel so bad

It can.

Ah, bugger off. I rely on my memory as a way-too-frequent visitor to these forums rather than some silly search bar. I figure if I don't remember seeing it, it didn't happen. Or it happened so long ago that 99% of the posters forgot about it.Rainforce said:I just experienced a DEJA VU [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.209611-1337-of-Pi-is-42?page=1]
