Just got this in an email.

I hope I dont look stupid because im missing a joke but x= 5

Instead of having "answers" on a math test, they should just call them "impressions," and if you got a different "impression," so what, can't we all be brothers?

I thought that it was a marvelous piece of wit

wonder if i could get away with anything like this in my maths degree.
also, is it worrying that i didn't have to actually do any sums to actually solve it? do i stare at these triangles too much? i think so!

i had a question this week which was a sort of "derive someone-or-others equation and use it to prove some-identity" and i thought, errr... i know the answer i just don't know how to prove it... bu**er.
so i waffled on for about a page then put =answer!
can't wait to see how many marks i get for that

haha it took me a while to get that one coz i figured out the answer first instead of actually looking at it

[suddenly gets it and slaps forehead] Doh!

I only did maths to GCSE and I even I know it's a 3 4 5 triangle. However the guys answer is technically correct.

I just know to use Pythagoras' Theorm (or however you spell it)

Oh I was really being so thick thats funny (so thick)

you dont need to use pythagras! look properly u need to find 'x' not the value of 'x'. dont worry took me a while to get it as well
