nice... i get it, i wont spoil it for everyone else... quite clever... only the mathematicians will get it.

 

same to you too!

does anyone know what that constant is ? 2.71828. i dont get the point of writing sqrt (x^2) when x would just be sufficient. unless he wanted to introduce symmetry. i dont get the (1/y)^-1, when just y would be enough.

well if you look at it like that he could have just written it out! its meant to be hard!

 

 

one sec, bloodhound... do you not know what 2.71828 is?

isnt there a letter missing?

[edit] sorted. i should i thought in terms of words not symbols

just outta interest does anyone else get it?

 

and blike, did you understand it yourself??? just because you're doing some kinda microbiology, so i wouldnt have thought you would have.

I get the first line, and from that I can only assume what the second should be.

 

It is pretty neat though.

 

edit: nevermind, I get the second line now, the x was throwing me off.

after reading it for the third time i get it its funny

a friend showed it to me the other day. got it quickly. the H2O was probably the most significant hint

Ha, pretty good

Good one.

 

only the mathematicians will get it

You don't need more than high school math to get it.

 

the H2O was probably the most significant hint

You're kidding, right?

That is good.

 

And it's my wish to all of you brainy-types out there.

You're kidding, right?

got me to thinking about the nature of the writing. since it was in a jovial christmas-ish tone, it prepared my brain to think of such a topic

----------- = I Reciprocate

that message

I had to read it a few times. But yes I get it

Once I recalled there is something called joined up writing it fell into place.

It took me a while, but I get it now.

 

Good one.

A cool one ! What was the original source?

is the original site of the image

It's a Fox Trot cartoon. Someone scanned it onto Neowin.

I got it. Very good. Think I'll send it to the physicist's I work with.

Heh. Pretty funny.

What's the point of the H₂O?

 

ho ho ho?

 

Or is it because Santa's looking @ the snow?

 

^o)

 

else: i think it was good, though they should have written 2.71828...

 

actually, they should have written "Limit n->Inf (1 + 1/n)^n"

 

That would've been more fun.

My physics teacher puts a fact of the day on the board each day and he put that on the board last Thursday.

lim n tends to inf of (1+1/n)^n is too recognisable... what about lim n tends to inf of (1+1/(n-3))^(n+10)
