I am laughing a little harder because not only is there truth in jokes, but my word verification happens to be 'faithedn' that I read as faith in education. Now the added bit of humour is that the last image in he post is the repeat of 'buy' and 'sell', and I just happen to be in Los Angeles on a trip and this town is nothing but buy and sell.
ReplyDeleteTherefore Sophie, this post has been a wonderful jolt this morning. Hopefully one day I an return the favor.
Warmest regards

Hi Egmont,
ReplyDeleteI like that sense of syncronicity...the word verifications are at times hilarious or strangely apt.
from your comments it sounds like
LA = (BUY + SELL) x 10 ie-to the power of 10
anyway Egmont,
have a good week (to the power of 10)
Thanks for the laugh Sophie....

ReplyDeleteHi Em,
ReplyDeleteIts a lot of fun.... this maths work. Conceptually interesting too... seeing the equations in things. A few years back I was getting the odd days work in secondary maths class rooms. Its took me back I must say... some part so maths I find very compelling though I'm hardly a natural. I bet you are good at maths!
