    I would’ve said “three fruits” right away.

    Peter would probably get part marks for showing his work although it is a rather long-winded way of coming up with 3 fruit.

    I’d probably say a fruit salad waiting to happen.

    Actually, he gets bad marks for showing his work. He done divided by zero.

    3 zeros divided by zero .

    Peter is a genius, bad to de bone!
    Tell all the rest, over the phone!
    Wait, no phone yet, no telegraph either!
    No TV to watch” Leave It To Beaver”
    Leave it to the Genius, he’ll just get a loan!

    16-36=25-45

    16-36+(81/4)=25-45+(81/4)

    4^2-2(4x9/2)+(9/2)^2=5^2-2(5x9/2)+(9/2)^2

    (4- 9/2)^2=(5- 9/2)^2

    4- 9/2=5- 9/2

    4=5

    2x2=5

    …now, who’s a jeannious?

    ( ^ o ^ )

    So… how did Peter go from a LOT of incorrect math (X = 1^3, for example) to a logical notation? Anybody?

    Oh, and fesal, there’s an error in simplification somewhere in there… I’ve seen that proof before, and a math teacher tried to pass it off as correct. Didn’t fly with a sophomore in my calculus class.

    X=(AOP) is incorrect. AOP written as such is 1x1x1=1.

    He should have written that X is a function of A,O,P such that

    X=f(A,O,P)

    (shouldn’t let engineers read this one either I guess)

    (a-b)^2 = (a+b)(a-b)
    = a^2 -2ab -b^2

    I have no idea what any of you Math buffs are talking about which is why I’m an English major. :-P
