Hate to tell all you budding scientists and mathematicians, it also looks like several older game controls, or parts of them, that used to lie around here.
Late to the party, I know, but when this first came out, I wrote an Excel spreadsheet to solve by trying every digit in the dividend, the divisor, and the quotient. Once I had the program debugged, it took a whopping 49 seconds to solve. In a way, I’ m as big a math geek as Jason. :)

This had to be Jason’s work. Paige probably made the fatal error of asking him for help.

As a retired teacher (general science for middle school) I find this one hilarious

Cell reproduction: when a mommy cell & a daddy cell love each other very very much, they get married and make a baby.

I think she has mitosis psychosis.
Dont worry, for most teenage girls it is just an anaphase.

I’m such a geek. It looks like binary division to me, except that it’s wrong. Oh well. My mistake.

As an amateur cartoonist, I envy Bill Amend’s clean, straight lines. He must have amazing coordination!
