- By Silly Freak in Spiked Math's excuse guide to not doing your math homework: I have a truly marvelous solution to this assignment, but there was no space left on my hard disk read in context
- By smilewithani in Jump to solutions: Hey Mike! Are you Mike Flynn? the author of infinity in your pocket?? read in context
- By bmonk in Counting m and ms: Then there's Adrian Monk's method: Count the boxes in the trash, multiply the number of boxes by the m&ms per box, subtract two dozen that the guy who put them in the jar ate, and you are within about five of the right number... read in context
- By bmonk in Oh That Alex: If he tries for long enough, he might double his chances... read in context
- By bmonk in So You're a Mathematician?: For you! read in context
- By bmonk in He Always Wins: So, who won the bronze??? 1 : (3+sqrt(13))/2 (=3.302775638). read in context
- By bmonk in Square the Circle: There is a shape--really a whole family of shapes--that simultaneously fit a circular hole, a square hole, and a triangular hole, in each case filling the hole perfectly. Martin Gardner noted it in one of his Mathematical Games columns, decades ago. read in context

- By bmonk in Why Mathematicians Never Win At Poker: Mathematician: Manifold. Computers: FLOPS is a measure of speed (FLoating point Operations Per Second) read in context
- By Eivind Dahl in Patch Notes: i had the 100. vote xD 5 stars :-D read in context
- By Jyrki in Mathematician anagrams: I quite like: Brainy coed - binary code read in context
- By Andi in Jump to solutions: It's missing the one with "You're am mathmatician. You can't even jump that far." AND I loved that movie ^^ read in context
- By bmonk in Jump to solutions: If you want to affix it permanently to a surface, you must use a red Boston Stapler... read in context
- By bmonk in Jump to solutions: I think the Fermat's solution should be in the margin; to fill the box, add, "It is obvious that...". In most proofs that's good for five to 45 minutes of thought. read in context
- By pienapp1e in Jump to solutions: Rocky Horror was the comment by MrBurkeMath about taking a jump to the left and a step to the right. It's part of the Time Warp song instructions. I REALLY like this mat- I have a student who always is jumping to conclusions- it'd be a fantastic kinesthetic method of reminding him to slow down and think things thru :) read in context
- By Meatball in Jump to solutions: I noticed the Fermat, but what are the others? :S read in context
- By bob in Living in a Nullspace: not all reals are rational... read in context
- By Eric Towers in Jump to solutions: ... Shouldn't "double counting argument" be there twice? ... Could I also recommend that on the *other side* is non-proof solutions: "by vigorous assertion", "by appeal to inaccessible references", "by waving hands", "by ad hominem, loser", et al. read in context
- By Andrew in Jump to solutions: Wow we got Office Space, Fermat, Rocky Horror Picture Show going on here dang this is pro! read in context
- By Andrew Best in Martin Gardner Limerick: The rhyming pattern of a Limerick: A,A,B,B,A. Example: The limerick packs laughs anatomical In space that is quite economical, But the good ones I've seen So seldom are clean, And the clean ones so seldom are comical. Though I agree with justnacl, the poem is neat. read in context
- By Carol in Jump to solutions: I want one too! :) read in context
- By mrburkemath in Jump to solutions: You need to take a jump to the left, and then a step to the right. read in context
- By JD in Math Club Fun: I think the notation is ambiguous: the question isn't which operation to do first, but whether it is the x^3 is divided by 2, or just the 3. Still, might as well go with the only one that makes sense. read in context
- By LordLaneus in Jump to solutions: I want one! read in context
- By JD in OMG TEXTBOOKS!: I had one professor who would just photocopy the relevant chapters for us, which was pretty awesome. Other than that I had to buy most books and the math and science ones were often over $150. Sometimes you'd use the same book for two semesters, which helped. But the worst outrage for me was paying over $50 for a paperback that had been published in the 50's. That one was for a philosophy class which I ended up dropping anyways. read in context
- By Spiked Math in Jump to solutions: You see, that's what you have to do... you have to use your miiiind! Thanks to my brother for the idea :D read in context
- By Gloria in Jump to solutions: If in doubt, jump back to "trivial" :D read in context

- By Mea Culpa in Mathematician anagrams: Can Imitate Ham. Or how about: (for mathematicians) *Ahem* Tits: A Manic... Jacques Tits of course ;) or is he? read in context
- By bmonk in Mathematician anagrams: Apropos of little, my brother last night again pointed out that there has only ever been one Cobal program written. All others are merely modifications of that first program... If you see anagrams as a way to modify a phrase, there is a tenuous link here. Which is how some mathematicians think. Another: Mania chat time. read in context
- By Nicholas in Mathematician anagrams: One lecturer in my department once observed that "double sum" is an anagram of "submodule". read in context

- By Explosive Cheese in I love part marks!: This is how I will always answer calculus questions now. It'll save huge amounts of time, and give me most of the points! read in context
- By Explosive Cheese in How much math do you know?: Hey, I love Vector Calculus, probably more than any other math so far, and I'm only one quarter American! read in context
