Today's Algebra Problems


Turakii #1 Lavasurfer

594 views

Everyone insists algebra is easy, but I'm having the most difficult time with these problems. Help! Solve these and you get an invisible doughnut!

 

The band leader wants to line up the 92 band members in four rows so each row has more members than the row before. Where should he put the tuba players?

 

A store owner sells two pairs of running shoes for each pair of high-tops. He goes out of business. How much are the high-tops?

 

If two pairs of high tops cost the same as one boot and a pair of socks cost 6.74, what's the name of the store owner's cat?

 

Dalek plans to finish a 473-page book before his next birthday. He decides to read the same number of pages every day except Wednesdays, Mondays, and every third Tuesday. What's the book about?

 

If a man builds a forty-three foot house out of three planks of four different lengths, how close is the nearest shopping mall?

 

Two people inherit $500. How much is left over after taxes? Bonus question: Who died?

Two degrees west of the pineapple tree.

Only five easy payments of $19.95!

Either George or Flashbulb. Depends on where the store owner left his keys.

Most likely it's about alien phenomena.

That was funny. :P

Oh, were you serious? O_o

I just have to ask you this, who in the world tells you algebra is easy? That person must be literally insane.

 

Instead of something simple like, I don't know, "2+4=6", they make it "6 =X+Y?". Yeah I know that's easy, but I don't really feel like looking in my textbook right now and finding a harder one.

 

Seriously, who thought up algebra?!

Next to Larry. (Maybe they can give him a few pointers.)

Don't know. He went out of buisiness before I could ask.

Same as above.

 

Dalek plans to finish a 473-page book before his next birthday. He decides to read the same number of pages every day except Wednesdays, Mondays, and every third Tuesday. What's the book about?

How to read a 473 book before your next birthday.

Closer than the nearest lumber store.

 

Two people inherit $500. How much is left over after taxes?

Depends on how far they travel. (Taxi fares these days can be quite spendy, no?)

 

Bonus question: Who died?

The postman.

1. That's easy. You gotta use the Turkey-Duck Sequence Method: 1+3+5+7+*Numberof rows*=(Pi x 25)^(5^2)-*The weight of the conductor's wife's thanksgiving Turkey*.

2. Depends on how tall the man was.

3. Obviously Wolfgangus Marchivolous Magnanimous McDouglas Figgins Danielda Disney Fergus Gorgonzola King Gordon I. C. U. P. III Jr. (Wich is gossiped that he is the son of his Parents, although he still denies it.)

4. I can't belive that you couldn't do that one! It's obviously about "The Strawberry flavoured Yoghurt with Fried fish topping that came from the sky above Louisiana". The book's called: "How I hate my lawn Mower"

5. 5 Inches away.

6. 2 Acorns and a Banana cream Pie.

Bonus:That's kinda difficult, but judging by the amout of Acorns and the weight of the Strawberry used for the pie... Tahu's Chilli Flavoured Fried Tuggle from Outer Space!

 

So obvious...

Uhhhhhh....hmmmmm...let me think.......inside of their tubas!

$2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.25

Its about Dr.Who!!!

 

If a man builds a forty-three foot house out of three planks of four different lengths, how close is the nearest shopping mall?

2 inches!!!

 

Two people inherit $500. How much is left over after taxes? Bonus question: Who died?

$0.3!And Barney the Big Purple Dinosaur died!

 

But seriously,the second one is easy.It CAN be done in a serious way.The answer I listed above is CLEARLY in jest..Allow me to explain:The high tops' price can easily be figured by finding the price of running shoes,multiplying V times the abbriviated factor(3339 x YN),dividing it by SNL,adding the remainder to the sum of %33 + TM - KNF =Z x 4 to the power of K,which is clearly 5.000000000000000001.You than covert decimals to fractions,add KRZY(5.000>+67-43.0x0990),and convert to T.

The answer is: $40.76.

  • The band leader wants to line up the 92 band members in four rows so each row has more members than the row before. Where should he put the tuba players?

    Answer: In front of the drums, behind the rest of the brass: sousaphonists need the cadence literally drilled into them.

  • A store owner sells two pairs of running shoes for each pair of high-tops. He goes out of business. How much are the high-tops?

    Answer: Obviously too much.

  • If two pairs of high tops cost the same as one boot and a pair of socks cost 6.74, what's the name of the store owner's cat?

    Answer: Sunny.

  • Dalek plans to finish a 473-page book before his next birthday. He decides to read the same number of pages every day except Wednesdays, Mondays, and every third Tuesday. What's the book about?

    Answer: The finer points of intonation of the word "EXTERMINATE!"

  • If a man builds a forty-three foot house out of three planks of four different lengths, how close is the nearest shopping mall?

    Answer: Not as close as his measuring tape tells him, clearly.

  • Two people inherit $500. How much is left over after taxes? Bonus question: Who died?

    Answer: Assuming the uncle left no outstanding debts, or nothing else gets inherited that year, the Feds usually let that petty a sum go.

    Though, if it was done right, their names were already on the account holding that money before the death occured.

3. Here K. Kitty (at least that's what the owner usually calls him by)

4. A dog and his best friend's cat's owner. The friend's cat's owner gets shot and the dog eats him (I should mention that the friend's cat's owner got shot by a BB and the dog was licking him... but that doesn't sound as dramatic).

5. An hour away.

6. $500 minus tax deductions. Grandpa Jim.

How the heck is this Algebra?

 

I'm an Algebra wiz and I can't even figure out any of them. There has to be at the very least one number (usually two) in each problem in order to figure it all out...

 

- A very confused :t::l::h:

I think it's called satire, or just humor, but I'm pretty sure that it's satire.
