Check This Out! Mathematics at its Finest

[gunner154]

I found this cool thing on a desk in my school.

Girls = Time x Money

But since Time is Money,

Girls = Money^2

Since money is the root of all evil,

Money = sqrt(Evil)

Money^2 = Evil

Therefore, Girls = Evil

Cool stuff eh?

Yep, I saw this at high school 5 years ago. :)

Who thinks it is true?

Nobody who ever wants to get laid again and is afraid there girlfriends might stumble on this site....

what are you talking about? most girls find that funny. 

and it is very true :P

I can prove that a horse has an infinite number of legs...

In the back, a horse has two legs, and in the front has fore legs. Therefore, a horse has six legs, which is quite an odd number of legs for a horse. The only number that is both positive and negative is infinite. therefore a horse has an infinite number of legs.  :P

I had a comparison that god was evil ones. . forgot it though. . .

[gunner154]

Don't get the infinite legs part, but nevermind.

Actually, based on the working Andrew and I quoted, ANYTHING can be proven to be evil as long as it is equal to (Time x Money).

And besides, anything that is female is evil, and anything that is evil is female. Quite weird is the world of Mathematics in the context of the real world.

How about this one.

To get from point A to point B you have to travel 2 halfs.  If you only travel one half, you still have one half of the original distance to go.  Then, if you split that remaining half down into another 2 halfs and travel only one of them, you still have some distance to travel.  If you keep on doing this but only travel one half of the two, you will never reach point B which suggests that travel is impossible and we actually never move or reach point B (which may be infintly close to us or infinitly far away from us.)

Both EWS and Spaldins posts are talking about the same thing, I remember from A-Level Maths.

Basically, there is an infinate number of distances to travel before moving anywhere. Some greek guys were thinking about that many years ago. As a problem it was solved. CAn only vaguely remember how so I wont bother to try to guess the rest.

[Cyborg]

In Norway (at my school, in our books), we solve those problems by saying that an infinite amount of halves (of eachother) equals one.

that and spaladins as well are:

zeno's paradox. which, of course has much more standing than proving girls = evil.

[erjin999]

Right, wasnt that what someones last theorem was about ? Last cos he died before he could tell anyone about it ?

And it was comparitively recently solved by saying that all those infinates worked out to  a certain level of accuracy amounted to something....

Bah, I am trying to forget maths, as I dont seem to need it in life.  8)

===== EDIT =======

Goggling shows it is not Fermats Last Therorm that is related to this  :-X

Here is a nice explanation of Zenos Theorem..

[gunner154]

Never reaching? It's a geometric progression with the common ratio 1/2. That's all.

I posted this on another forum... and somebody posted this in reply.

Hehe, bet he passed !
