No doubt there is some Maths whiz out there who is going to read this and issue some crushing reply that will make me feel like the O level Maths failure that I am...but...Just how does this work? And who spends their time working these things out?
This year we will experience 4 unusual dates.... 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 .... NOW go figure this out.... take the last 2 digits of the year you were born plus the age you will be this year and it will come to 111.
For Example: Mrs Curry Queen born in 1990 is 21 (ahem) years old.
90+21=111...How? How how how?
Meanwhile Monsieur le Shah born in 1968 is 43 (ahem once again) years old.
68+43 = 111
I know I'm thick, but I just don't get it! Someone put me out of my misery - pleeeeease...
Damn CQ, I've just discovered I'm a year older than I thought I was!
ReplyDeleteI am many years older than I think I am for I am a superannuated teenager who is still (sadly) crap at maths all these years later. xx
ReplyDeleteI have embraced my crapness at Maths so I now just let things like this go over my head cos rubbing my two remaining brain cells together makes them sore. :D
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's just this year. Last year we all added up to 110? Next year to 112?
ReplyDeleteTaz - you and me both - you are looking at someone who got 10/100 in her Year 10 Maths exam twice running...!
ReplyDeleteSarah - You could be right but that would tie my brain in bigger knots so I'm not even going to attempt to work that one out!
ReplyDeleteOne thing's for sure, we're getting older every year. There's NO ESCAPE!!
ReplyDeleteSarah - thanks for that - it's really cheered me up *takes sharp knife to wrists*
ReplyDeleteWhat the..?? Weird and wonderful. I came here looking for your worst teenage tv shows...??
ReplyDelete10/100 is good right? :D
ReplyDeleteKAte - sorry will get straight on it!
ReplyDeleteTaz - well I thought so at the time! Sadly my parents didn't share the same view and unaccountably sided with the horrible Mr Dyer, my maths teacher :(
