Think about other names for numbers.

How is the math legit? Maybe I don't understand the symbols, but I'm not getting it to resolve.

as for the limerick - dozen (doesn't?) OR dozen gross (does engross) score (??) meter (meet her?) 2 (to) . . . I'm lost.

or how about, using Maz's hint/beginning: a dozen and a gross and a score and a meter . . . two divided by seven? Lost again. Equals 81 though.

Hmmm . . . there was a man from a dozengrossscore, who was threetimesthesquarerootoftwo, he fiftyfived, and now he's eightyone?

I'm out of ideas.


EDIT: Oh hell's bells. The math is legit. Multiplication before addition. Duh.

2nd EDIT: And it's difficult to see that parens after the bracket after the 4. But I did see it eventually, when it wouldn't resolve and I started to add up the opening and closing parens.

Oh, OK, and the man thing was just me trying to see if it fit into the only other limericks I know. You know, There was a man from Nantucket . . .

I can read the equation, but . . .

A dozen a gross and a score, plus three times the square root of four, divided by seven plus five times eleven, equals eighty one plus zero? Can't be.

No, I'm still doing it wrong. Equals nine cubed plus zero.

A dozen a gross and a score, plus three times the square root of four, divided by seven plus five times eleven, equals nine cubed plus zero.

Nope. Shouldn't it end with something rhyming with score and four?

I should just Google this. I'd love to solve it though. Although at this point, with any more hints I wouldn't really be solving anything. Gah, so dense.

it's 9 squared not 9 cubed. cubed is to the power of 3.

You almost have it, think about another way of saying zero or nothing that rhymes with score and four.

I still contest that anything that math is important in will have a calculator of some sort solving the equation for you. It's not exactly something you'd leave up to a misplaced decimal, yannow?

I still don't know why I had to learn stuff about graphs in high school. The only math I do regularly is keeping track of how much my groceries will cost me while I'm shopping.

Statistics, probabilities, curve fits, discriminate functions, math math math, too much math...

I'm all for the curve fits. Wink wink nudge nudge.

Use the spreadsheet you dunce (you know, if that still exists).

Lol, well, haven't really been spreadsheets for any of the games I've played recently. FFXIV: ARR right now. Don't generally need to do too much for stats, but figuring out which cross-class abilities I want to spec into can give me some.

Plus, I'm playing a healer right now, and going OOM is a thing. So I need to figure out the value of using Cure 1, 2, or 3 versus the incoming damage and my overall longevity.

DID I SAY CUBED? WHERE DID I SAY CUBED?


O.K., so I said cubed . . .


Nine cubed and not a bit more would have worked too.

And you're starting to annoy me Mazra.

Beer is awesome.

Now that you're all grown up and responsible and stuff, yours seems less fitting.

I say bring back the teddy bear.
