Lockjaw Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I thought it was great entertainment. Speaking of which, we're playing at the Peaks Inn in Castleton tomorrow and at the Sportsman in Crosspool next Friday... Come along - you may enjoy it. There will be no fingers in ears and you will meet (at the Sportsman) at least two SF regulars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggi Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 ...the mathematically literate ("numerate"' date=' to [b']coin[/b] a phr word) consider themselves 'fountain of all knowledge experts'?" "coin". It does not mean what you think it means. But you're right about arithmetic, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 How many Sheffield Forum "fountain of all knowledge experts" does it take to change a lightbulb? Knowing basic maths qualifies us as experts on the "fountain of all knowledge", amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 "coin". It does not mean what you think it means. (**searches t'internet**) Blimey! You're right an' all - thanks for that, maggi. Another one of life's misconceptions cleared up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balpin Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 That is not a properly set out question. It has too many answers. Who ever asked it is not a mathematician. The answer is probably that the questioner is a troll, of the finest water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggi Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 That is not a properly set out question. It has too many answers. Who ever asked it is not a mathematician. The person who asked here (OP - original poster) is someone who saw an episode of 'smarter than a 10 year old' where a wrong answer to a basic arithmetic question was given as right. It doesn't matter whether the OP is a mathematician or not. It is a properly set out question. It has one answer. The answer is 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
