[ad#ad-2]OK Folks, Here is the next joke you can crack at your colleagues and office workers.
Today We Learn Mathematics
The goal of this lesson is solving maths problems by applying what you learned at school. (If you still remember it)
Okay.. All you have to do is to add + , – , x , / or any other arithmetic operator to balance the equations.
I know you would say it’s not possible… even I thought It was so… but all these equations can be solved by a 5th grader. its very easy.. Just download the power point slide show to know how.. you would be killing yourself when you know how simple it is.
When you know.. just forward this page or slide show to your friends and office workers to amuse them.
have a nice weekend.

I liked this. A correction is needed in the row for ones, it needs parentheses, otherwise the solution would equals 3.
This has nothing to do with 5th graders.
I think they should be clearer as to what is allowed and what is not. The factorial is not in my mind an arithmetic operator, nor does it show up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_basic_arithmetic_topics.
The square and cube root seem to indicate that you may raise things to an arbitrary power, so why not have 2^2+2^2-2=6 or 4^(log4(6))+(4-4)=6
If it is ‘allowable’ to square or cube the numbers, presumably we are able to use any power, in which case:
(1+1+1)^1.631=6
(3+3+3)^0.815=6
(4+4+4)^0.721=6
…etc.
Which kinda defies the point.
I will not be mocked by a slideshow that says ‘3th’.
I don’t think those are still arithmetic “operators.” Take any programming class and you’ll see that it’s not defined this way. Plus, I never did this in fifth grade and the whole concept is stupid.
Bob, you’re wrong. all the examples you gave are not exact equal…
Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader is a popular show asking difficult questions like this… that was in mind…
Point of the slide show was that most of the (Non-Nerd)people don’t even start trying to solve the equation….
but many people do find it amusing…
It may not be as funny as it sounds, but it is still a good distraction from boredom. Especially for the curious ones like myself. Thanks for sharing.
1+1+1!=3
(1+1+1)!=6
haha I imagine whoever created this is currently basking in their own infinite wisdom. They patronise the readers intelligence in the last slide, and yet they write ‘Good, Considering…’, and failed to realise their own glaring error. A CAPITAL LETTER DOESN’T FOLLOW A COMMON GENUIS! Surely an error not even a 5 year old would make, let alone a 5th grader. This, by the way, required slight mental effort at best.
