Catherine Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer. The bartender says "You're all idiots", and pours two beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstaxes Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 They will never finish 2 beers. I heard this as how many steps to walk across a room, if you walk 1/2 the distance then 1/2 the distance again ( 1/4 of the room). then 1/2 the distance again (1/8 of the room). When will you reach the opposite wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaB Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 C'mon guys, you know that five out of four people don't understand fractions. (I said that in front of my three kids once. The boys grinned. The daughter goes, "Whaaa?") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jainen Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 >>my three kids<< I said this on a school bus once, and everybody got mad. If there are five oranges and you take away two, how many do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
