You could have said "... too clever by (0.7071)squared" in order for it to look complicated but not terrify the non-mathematical readers. dvo4fun on "Professor Brian Cox found to be too clever by eiπ/(cos(π)-sin(π/2))" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=55133#post-159470 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:42:56 +0000 dvo4fun 159470@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ Good grief.

Can it be 4,500,000/9,000,000? That's a big number but still works and is easier for the public to comprehend without being too mathsy.

Can't edit tags. Ignore tags. It was supposed to be: How many beans make 5? - a bean, a bean, a bean and a half, a half a bean and a bean. Bit of poetry. LOL.

Shame the text doesn't allow for equations. The result, because infinites and imaginary numbers are used is 0.4999 recurring, but I'm sure Professor Cox would agree is the same thing as a half. Stars for a clever bit of ironic maths.
