Demetri Martin math quote "100% of the people who give 110% do not understand math."

Also from Demetri: "You are 10 times more likely to be hit by a car if the driver is aiming for you."

He is great. He comes with that smooth way of talking and delivers enormous amounts of
fun stuff. Thanks for sharing.

He worked it out with a pencil.

I had an old English car while in school that I measured its mileage in Furlongs/Fortnight.

As a decrepit Old Age Pensioner, I have forgotten all the Maths I ever learned. So, you mathematicians out there, please answer this question: Can the arithmetical value of cos ever be more than 1 (one)? You will have noticed that 3 pi divided by 9 is more than 1 (one). If this is correct, I still have enjoyed the joke!

My only memory from Maths class was that a Mathematician's life is full of secs and coshs (the trigonometrical functions), which I suspect is not too far from the truth!

I have to say that the Stage of Life vs Maths skill does ring a bell with me!

Pls keep this sort of joke coming!

Greetings fellow math lovers and math joke lovers. You've inspired me to share one of my favorites. To wit:

Three statisticians went duck hunting. Upon spotting a mallard, the first statistician fired his shotgun. He missed: 6 inches too high. The second statistician fired. He also missed: 6 inches too low. The third one exclaimed, "We got him boys!"

I used to have that on a t-shirt. lol

Know why programmers get Halloween and Christmas mixed up? Because octal 31 = decimal 25.

It's better if you abbreviate:

Oct 31 = Dec 25

Binary is very useful. You can use it to count to 31 on one hand. If you use both hands you can count to 1023.

It does take some manual dexterity. Be careful of the number 4, which is considered unlucky in many asian countries, and binary digital counting may provide a clue to the reason.
