Add an 'S' at the beginning?

SIX ?

Correct............

How do you turn this symbol.......+........into a square with one straight line?

 

[EddieM]

Write the word 6 over it in one stroke, no one likes a smart arse.

Actually I'm saddened how jovially you take this serious decline in scientific standards we have come to accept (mathematics is a completely integral part of science)

 

[Blasphemous]

Sorry Sir! Must try harder!

 

[Trazor]

no one likes a smart a**e.

Sadly, you may be correct.

I beg your pardon??????

I think not

 

[Trazor]

Do you realise, how seriously annoying you are...................

 

[EddieM]

Wow. Now I really don't understand?

 

[swidders]

Do you realise, how seriously annoying you are...................

Some have mentioned it, but I don't accept the logic of their argument

Here's one for you - arrange six matchsticks to you have 4 identical equilateral triangles.

 

[EddieM]

I don't understand why you are peddling simple side show tricks?

Tutankhamun.......... ...........Off to bed.........Good night all........

Because he doesn't have his head up his arse?

 

[swidders]

Mathematics exists in its own right. It doesn't need any of the applied sciences to explain it nor "make it work". Since it is ultimately abstract and purely thought based, it is the ultimate art form.

As I said earlier, science needs maths for its limited descriptions of the world around it, not the other way round.

Nite trazor.
