The mathematical proof for Mr.T's infinite pity

    For life to exist there must be a symmetric equation regarding the factors of pity(p) and fools(f) -> p-f=0. If any one factor rose to a level higher than the other, life as we know it would cease to exist. The fool factor can be decisively measured by dividing jibba-jabba(j) by tolerance for said jibba-jabba(t) -> f=j/t. With these two equations we can deduce: p-f=0; f=j/t ->p-(j/t) = 0 -> p = j/t. This equation leads to quite an interesting result. As we can see, if we hold jibba-jabba constant, as tolerance for said jibba-jabba approaches 0, pity approaches infinity. Now we all well know that Mr. T “ain’t got no time for the jibba-jabba.” In fact, extensive observational studies have been conducted and even with machines able to calculate with precision to the 23rd decimal place, Mr. T’s tolerance for jibba-jabba has been conclusively found to be 0, and therefore Mr. T’s pity is the literal embodiment of the concept of infinity


    Any thoughts on the technicalities of this?I ain't a 3rd level maths student (yet) so I thought I'd put this out there where people who are can see it and .......i dunno, give opinions on it.It is maths after all!:D

    No matter how often I read it it still amazes me. The elegance, the simplicity and of course the a team!:D
    As your fellow soon to be third level maths student(*losers are us*) I wonder if maybe you shoul throw in a series or two there, just for kicks like. :D :rolleyes:

    Eh, no it's not. Maybe try AH or the Cuckoo's nest?

    OK. After due consideration (and a nice request), I've decided to reopen the thread.

    Keep on thread, and make your arguments mathematically sound. :cool:

    Good man!Sure we'll just let those mathematicians who appreciate these things lead it;)

    Aleph null or aleph one?

    Here another equally strong mathematical proof that all girls are evil

    First, we all know that girls require time and money
    GIRLS = TIME x MONEY

    And as we all know "Time IS Money"
    TIME = MONEY

    Therefore:
    GIRLS = MONEY x MONEY = (MONEY)²

    Now, money is "The root of all evil"
    MONEY = √(EVIL)

    Therefore
    GIRLS = √(EVIL)²

    Which is conclusive proof that:
    GIRLS = EVIL

    Q.E.D.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,595 ✭✭✭MathsManiac


    Shouldn't that be GIRLS = +/- EVIL ?

    very good:D However girls are positively evil apparently..............

    Shouldn't this read:

    First, we all know that girls require time and money
    GIRLS = TIME + MONEY


    :D

    Would that not be time or money?

    It's MONEY²
    therefore (√(EVIL))²
    therefore (+/- √(EVIL))²
    (+√(EVIL))² = EVIL
    (-√(EVIL))² = EVIL
    therefore no.
