Reminds me of a math limerick:
(12 + 144 + 20 + 3*sqrt(4))/7 + 5*11 = 9^2 + 0
A dozen, a gross and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared and not a bit more
- jIyajbe 5y agoBeat me to it! I have no memory of where I first heard it, but it was in my far-away long-lost youth. Despite that, I have never forgotten it, nor lost the ability to call it up instantly from my memory (unlike, for example, my wife's birthday.) it was apparently written by someone named Leigh Mercer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leigh_Mercer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leigh_Mercer). (Just kidding, honey!)
