13. Hehe - a math professor I know has a T-shirt to that effect
which he enjoys wearing to confuse his classes, I think. :P



He did explain it to me, though, in the following manner:

If gas is $2.49 9/10 per gallon, it can be rounded down to $2.00 (since the actual price is under $2.50). But if you buy 2 gallons of gas at $2.49 9/10, the total amount is rounded up to $5.00...therefore, 2 + 2 = 5 (for very large values of 2). :silly:

2. There is no such number. It's mere existence is a myth created by the liberal media.

Might as well 'fess up.
Muslim men are permitted FOUR wives according to the Qu'ran.

Islam itself has FOUR principles, FOUR archangels, FOUR sacred months. And so on... :tinfoilhat:

6. creationist math
On a physics test, if a circle is said to have a diameter of 10 feet and the student is asked to compute the circumference, the correct answer is 30 feet—not 31 feet.

The reason 31 feet is an incorrect answer is because it implies a precision that is unwarranted by the given information. The value 10 feet indicates that the diameter has been rounded. Perhaps it has been rounded up from the exact value of 9.5 feet, in which case the exact diameter would be 29.845. . . feet—which rounds up to 30 feet.

16. Amazing, isn't it?
Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Since crying accomplishes nothing I generally to go with derision.

12. Oh, where to begin...
I'm sure some of these have been covered already, but:

- 2 and 2 are Arabic numerals, and therefore EVIL MUSLINS!!1!!eleventyone!!
- Adding numbers is like adding resources together and that's OMG SOSHALEST!!!!
- If same-numeral additions are permitted, what's next - equations involving letters and numbers? OH NOES, ALGEBRA*!!11!
- "Plus" is a big word!

...yeah, I don't know, I got nothin'. (It's been a long day and I'm getting to the point where nothing I post is going to make much sense anymore...)


*Also an "evul MUSLIN!!" invention, I believe.
