Any good jokes ... ?

You have just got me in trouble.
I copied and forwarded that.
Unfortunately to the wrong person....she was not impressed

Surely you mean "I have just got myself in trouble"....?

I do worry about the fact that each thing has 3 9s - except for the number 1

which is a problem

 

[srw]

OK, for us thickoes, can someone please explain 5 and 7?

5 = (√9)! - 9/9. √9 = 3, and 3! = 3 factorial = 3x2x1 = 6. What's actually on the clock is √(9!), which is the square root of 9x8x7x...x3x2x1.

7 = 9 - √9 + 0.9 recurring. "0.9 recurring" means 0.999999.... and so on ad infinitum which is mathematically identical to 1.

What have I done?

 

[The Crofted Crest]

I thought 3! was just 3 and 1, = 4, minus 1 = 3

Beaten to it again by @srw and I agree with him/her.

Soooo
the position for number one could be 9 - 9 + .9 recurring??

My problem is solved

Thanks

I wish I could do a root sign on my android phone 😔

As much as I hated Thatcher for what she did to South Yorkshire and the mining community.I hated Scargill also.She was better than all of the others since put together.

I read that as "point nine recurring'. Not the most obvious notation, but it works. If you add in another .9 you break the rule that you can only use three digits in each expression.

(Folks, this is what passes for humour among mathematical pedants.)

I think it's been done before, but if we're doing maths gags ...

"what's Benoit B Mandlebrot's middle name?"

Spoiler

"Benoit B Mandlebrot of course!"

I don't think it's possible to agree less.



We were so poor when I was a child that at Christmas we exchanged glances.

The police are looking for me after I stole a futon. I'm currently lying low.
