Ok, for god's sake, lets see how he could make 1+1=3, where 1 is not a pronumeral.
One apple, plus another apple, and wow you've gotthree apples.
Well, he did it with Adam and Eve. Wait, that's actually 1 + 1 = 6.

You are right, but sometimes, it is important to remember things. We all know that the square root of 2 can be calculated when required, but remembering 1.4142 helps when we are required to solve problems quickly.
The square root of 2 has mnemonic??? What is it???

If you can do something in maths, then someone is bound to say "can you go backwards?"
What's the inverse of a factorial function, then?

The black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) is normally ill-tempered and unpredictable and may charge any unfamiliar sound or smell. Despite their bulk, rhinoceroses are remarkably agile; the black rhinoceros can attain a speed of about 45 km (30 miles) per hour, even in thick brush, and can turn around rapidly after missing a charge.
When I was a kid, I was told that a rhinoceros can't turn while charging. It was a lie?

Cool effect. Try doing the '8.9 On Richter, Indonesia, 2004' one. Funny. In a bad way.
Wait, Indonesia? What happened? I don't remember any big event in this country which happened at 8 October.

While we're on about science and letters, count the number of F's in this paragraph:
One funny Friday, fifteen people flew to Fellgate zoo. Frankly, a few of the people found out that five of the animals were feeling ill. They thought it was cruel and demanded their full money back.
Two F's and some more f's?

I thought it wouldn't be very bad if I introduced myself once again.
To be honest, I've never introduced myself in this forum, though probably I will save that for my 2,000th post later.

The farthest distance of two places in an area is 200 km. If someone wants to make a map of that area on a 1 m × 1 m paper, the possible scale to make it is ....
a. 1 : 210
b. 1 : 2.100
c. 1 : 21.000
d. 1 : 210.000
Can you help? The 200 and 210 makes me think that the distance on map won't be an integer.

Yep. I remember creating a thread about languages and who spoke them. It died down through the forum, but I gathered a lot of information, such as how many people spoke which language, and who, etc...
Where is that thread? As a language-learner, I am moderately interested.

(3) Working as a computer instructor for an adult-education program at a community college, I am keenly aware of the gap in computer knowledge between my younger and older students.
My observations were confirmed the day a new student walked into our library area and glanced at the encyclopedia volumes stacked on a bookshelf.
"What are all these books?" he asked.
Somewhat surprised, I replied that they were encyclopedias.
"Really?" he said. You mean that someone printed out the whole thing?" WOW!
If I were you, I would reply "You know, long before that, people wrote on stones instead of papers.
