I should have know The Flood wouldn't understand this. But then again half the flood has not graduated highschool.


Were you expecting to get rock hard over people praising you as a new math God? Were you expecting the media to get a hold of this thread and display it internationally?


I was simply showing people a cool trick I found, and was a little disappointed when most people couldn't understand it. no need for you to rage about it. Grow up alittle.

This looks like a job for...
You bastard! You replaced my signal!
Yes. Yes I did. Bask in it's glory, Sauron! BASK IN IT!

Correcting my misplaced punctuation cannot distract from my signal's splendor!

In any case, animals and terms of speech are not valid mathematical terms.
Sure they are.

I have a math degree. I know.

Says the guy I just took down a notch.

But seriously, I suck at math. I simply don't understand why people have to disprove every-friggin'-thing ever. 2+ 2 = 4. Done.

And he entered the service of the Dark Tower when it first rose again, and because of his cunning he grew ever higher in the Lord's favour; and he learned great sorcery, and knew much of the mind of Sauron; and he was more cruel than any orc.

And that would be unidirectional equality, as disambiguation said. In any case, animals and terms of speech are not valid mathematical terms.

Your argument would be valid in something like this:
4+4=8
(4/4)+(4/4)=(8/4)
2+2=4

Not only am I using mathematically correct values, but I'm taking a potshot at the OP for saying that 2+2=5. Suck it OP.



Not only did I use valid mathematical
I = Eye
Eye = Perceptive
Perceptive = Eagles
Eagles = Bald
Bald = Hairless
Hairless = Gone
Gone = Left
Left*Left = Right
I^2 = Right

Twice, I have been right.

Ergo: 2+2 - 9/2 = 5
HOLD IT!

The left side of the equation actually comes out to -.5!
(Courtroom grumbling)
Judge! I request another day for us to find what REALLY happened in this case.

I'm sorry, but the jury has reached a verdict.
*opens envelope*
We deem the defendant guilty on charges of false math. Sentenced to 25 to life in paradox prison.

Court dismissed.

But you cannot mathematically prove something related to biology. You cannot say that a monkey is an amphibian purely because you used the transitive property of equality a few times.
You're going to have to defer to my authority on this one, because I have a bachelor's in mathematics and you do not.

Mathematics = Science
Science = Biology
Mathematics = Biology

I don't see why I can't apply mathematical properties to biology when math equals biology.

You would be right if eagles were actually equal to bald. They aren't. Bald eagle is simply the colloquial term used to classify that specific type of eagle. Sorry.

Colloquial Term = Word
Word = Fact
Fact = Colloquial Term
Again, words aren't equal to fact. That one's easy.
Fact = Word, therefore Word = Fact.

This is simple math, I don't see why you're having trouble understanding.

That may be true, but mathematics and biology are two different fields of science.

For an animal to be an amphibian, they have to meet an explicit set of requirements completely different from other classifications of animal. One cannot waltz up, use the transitive property a few times and say that mammals = amphibians (because by your theory, monkeys = mammals, mammals = animals, animals = amphibians), and have all the biologists change monkeys from mammals to amphibians. They would shake their heads and continue on with their work.

I have no doubt that you're a smart guy and have a math degree, but I simply refuse to believe this applies here.
Well you see my degree is a bachelor of science, so that makes me also a scientist. Thus I have authority on all things mathematical and scientific, except on matters of computer science.

If I say the words "Fire is cold", that doesn't make it fact simply because it's not true.
Fire = Bright
Bright = Light
Light = Fast
Fast = Cars
Cars = Metal
Metal = Cold
Fire = Cold

Fire = Bright
Bright = Light
Light = Wave
Wave = Water
Water = Cold

Therefore, Fire = Cold.
