Tonks is taking calculus and, as a consequence, is calling Mr. Chili fairly regularly for help with her homework (Bowyer freely admits that he’s not familiar with calculus). I love listening to my husband’s half of those conversations; it’s as if he’s speaking an entirely different language. I suppose, in a very real way, he is.
A philosophy professor in my building likes to post funny things on her office door. This morning, there were a bunch of pictures and the title “how to fail a test with style.” This was my favorite example:
That would have been MY answer….
oh, but x is 5! it’s the pythagorean theorem.
I am a nerd.
Clearly, DallasBlue. I am also a nerd, but of an entirely different sort.
That cracks me up everytime I see it. There was a whole set floating around for a while that were good. Wish I still had it.
That is awesome! Especially since I am beginning to fret about the algebra class I am going to have to take soon.
And why did I have to fill in the name, mail, and website info? Why didn’t your blog recognize me???
Never mind. Somehow I got logged out. Duh!
That is f*cking hysterical!!!
I want mo! Show me mo!
I FOUND IT! This is what my colleague has taped to her door:

You got math questions ask me
The missus is a math teacher. She is pretty smart about this crap, probably why I married her.
TV
T.V., I freely admit that part of why I married Mr. Chili is so that he’d figure tips for me…
Nancy, THAT is a riot! I’m bookmarking that site; thanks for pointing it out!
Very funny!
That is SO hilarious! I wish I had thought of that when I was in highschool, flunking math test after math test, even though I studied really hard…
Awwww…no fair! If we math teachers have to be able to write well, you English folk should have to do math!
j/k I had a whole bunch of those test/quiz answers at one time. They’re all so funny!
I’m telling you; if I had to take a math test to be an English teacher, the world would be short an instructor right now. My sixth grader is coming home with stuff I don’t remember how to do. Seriously; I jettisoned those brain cells after I passed the (required) classes by the proverbial skin of the teeth.
I’m not as bad as I claim to be – I really CAN figure tips and sale prices – but I will freely admit that I couldn’t have solved for X.
