trick Q: what is both the smallest and the largest number?

Well... Usually the answer is wine... but I don't see what that has to do with math. I have a few humous math things on my profile.

it's: elephant X grape = |elephant||grape|sine(theta)

why would it be... ooohhh wiiine haha I didn't think of that one.

-ding- you're a winner! -party noise maker-

oddly enough, every time i've asked this, people answer "a crushed grape" (even an AP Math teacher xd smile ; they always seem to think situationally...

...on a completely non-mathematical note: how many lightbulbs does it take to screw in a human?

trick Q: is the answer 0, because it is the smallest positive number, and yet at the same time, is the largest negative number? I think it is.

Actually, 0 is neither positive nor negative.

|elephant||grape|sine(theta)


Well technically, that's just the magnitude of elephant x grape. The actual resultant would be a vector that can't described in just one expression.

That's from jokes with Einstein, found here

What about the i, j, k components of the elephant? biggrin

Alright, I'll admit it: i was only jk. Everyone knows you can't cross a point mass (read: the grape) with a body in R^3 (read: the elephant).

1)There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

2)Expand:
(a+b)²

(0a00+00b0
(00a0000+0000b00
(000a000000+000000b000
(0000a00000000+00000000b0000

(00000000a0000000000000000+0000000000000000b00000000

Why infinity of course. Positive infinity is the biggest number, and negative infinity is the smallest.

Too many hours working out what a graph is doing as it approaches positive and negative infinty

But infinity isn't a number... :B

Kind of fun but not really a joke, here's a blurb I found in someone's AIM profile and promptly stole:

Imagine if you will for a moment a society in which mathematics has become property, and it’s owned by people. Now every time you want to do anything useful – build a house, make a boat, start a bridge, devise a market, move objects weighing certain numbers of kilos from one place to another – your first stop is at the mathematics store to buy enough math to complete the task which lies before you. You can only use as much arithmetic at a time as you can afford, and it is difficult to build a sufficient inventory of mathematics, given its price, to have any extra on hand. You can predict, of course, that the mathematics sellers will get rich. And you can predict that every other activity in society, whether undertaken for economic benefit or for the common good, will pay taxes in the form of mathematics payments.

Lol, most people would think of "10" as 1010 but most of us in this guild know better.

Heya.

About Math society post: well, there will be no houses, no roads, markets...etc, cause mathematicians just say:

"Lets say that ammount of bricks may become a house, as demostrated in architecture teorem n, there is a house"

-Answer: "Let that ammount of mud be the bricks you said, then, according to your house construction, there is a house"
