Unutterably Silly Countdown!

i'm just going to take that as appreciation, and not any suggestion that i might be excessively loquacious.

Oiy! I said not to start with answers.

sorry, sorry ! you know i have a hard time following directions. i get distracted too-- ooh look at the size of that cat !

Zero (I count in lots of 30.5, as that's the number of digits I have if I take of my shoes, socks and underpants. Makers of jokes about the 0.5 and what's in my underpants should note that what's usually found in my underpants is my cranium).

So...sacrifice me, pet. What are you?Chicken?

i would like, at this junction in time, to cry - foul ! [or is that fowl - it's hard to know with the state of the english language these days]

[Lady Blue]

OK. I'm a genius at this sort of thing. Step aside all you flunkies. I'll show you how this is done.





and the answer is . . .

[GeoffC]

you forgot to factor in the hypotenuse on the square of each answer before the last one in the remainder theorem ....

[Lady Blue]

Ahhh, yes. The part.

[GeoffC]

exactly, no remainders left .... and certainly no recurring nonsense on the end

[jinlo]

Uhmmmm...

I don't wish to append to this thread when there is supposed to be no remainders, but I must ask for some kind of clarification.

Are we at 0 or 1973?

I'm not sure if I should duck and cover in order to avoid the blast or if I should pull out the bell bottom jeans and a lava lamp.

I'm not sure where you live, but the squares around here have statues and water fountains in them, not hypotenuses.

Fantastic.

Now look at me and at my hands. Pay attention please.
Take that thing,
multiply it by 1 (unit of radial distance),
by 2 (dimensionless) a
nd you get a perfect 1 (unit of circumferential extent).

So we are back to square one.

Thank you, thank you

Not acceptable. The constitution (with the emphasis on the con) demands that you and the chicken now form a coalition countdown and then ask the Queen Z for permission to form a cabinet clock.

Yes, and look at the festivities *that* ended up in.

...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it." Amen.
