Fishing
One fine summer day two fathers and two sons went fishing at their favorite lake. They fished and talked all morning long and by noon everyone had caught one fish. As the two fathers and two sons walked back home, everyone was happy because each had a fish even though only three fish had been caught. Two fathers and two sons. Only three fish and no fish were lost. How can this have happened? |

QUOTE(lilangelgurlpnai @ Feb 20 2004, 10:30 PM) Here's another math one: If 3 is half of 5, what is one-third of 10? (This is quite easy.) Three. According to chemistry the answer is 3 because of significant digits. 5/2 is 2.5. But since 5 is only a single digit you have to keep the answer as a single digit number. Which is rounded up to 3. 10/3 is 3.3(repeating), but since 10 has one signficant digit it's rounded to 3. ![]() |
