Less Known Mathematicians:
Calvin and Hobbes Math:
1. What is 7 plus 3?
7+3 = 73
What is 3 plus 8?
Assign the answer a value of x. x always means multiply, so
take the numerator (that’s Latin for number eighter) and put that on the other
side of the equation. That leaves you with 3 on this side, so what times 3
equals 8? The answer is of course, 6.
2. What is 9 plus 4?
Ooh, that’s a tricky one. You have to use calculus and imaginary
numbers for this. You know, eleventeen, thirty-twelve, and all those. It’s a
little confusing at first.
Fox Trot Math:
1. Using a straightedge and compass, it is impossible to
construct friends.
2. What is the decimal equivalent of 1/10?
This is way too easy. Therefore, it must be a typo. I’m sure
the test meant something challenging like 1/sqrt (2).
Rabbit Math
1. What is 1 plus 1?
365,211 (Rabbits that is)
2. What is one batch of cookies plus another batch of cookies?
A mess in the kitchen, and several very hyper bunnies.
3. How long does it take to eat a batch of cookies?
Depends. How many bunnies are awake, and how close are they
to the kitchen?
Sheepdog Math
1. What is 3+3?
*Yawn* 9….
2. What is 2/3*3/4?
6/12 = ½ or .5 *zzzz*
Peanuts
1. “Cut an apple in half…”
Sally: “That’s fractions!! You’re trying to teach me fractions!
You know I’ll never understand fractions! What are you trying to do to me? I’ll
go crazy! I’ll..”
2. Peppermint Pattie is the only person to ever have gotten an
A in sleeping on her report card.
