A Mathematician’s Limerick

Posted in Personal Stuff by John E. Pannell on January 4th, 2007 at 3:19 am

For those mathematically inclined, here’s a little limerick:

((12 + 144 + 20 + (3 * 4^(0.5))) / 7) + (5 * 11) = 9^2 + 0

I’ll send a lodge 70 flap to the first person* that posts, as a comment, the correct translation of this into plain English.   Who will dare show their true “geekiness” by posting the answer?

It really isn’t that difficult.  Remember, it’s a limerick.

For those clever enough to try to “cheat”, the poem has been slightly changed to thwart attempts to find the answer on Google or Yahoo!.

 * Sorry, “Brother Bob” is not eligible since I already told him the translation…
