Mathematical impossibility?

[LeftyFingerPop]

This is really freaking me out badly.

If I divide my age by 2

Then add my street number to the result

Then round up to the nearest whole digit

Then subtract the number of bathrooms in my home

Then add the combined ages of my pets

The answer is 57 EVERYTIME I DO THE CALCULATION!!

I did the calculation once this morning, then again at noon, and then again just now, and the answer is still 57!!

What are the odds of that happening?

This is frightening me...

You should post in GD: P

2. Good idea!!

I think I could really charm that crowd!

3. The odds are...

[LeftyFingerPop]

7. That's even odder!

6. Your math is wrong...

I did the same calculation just now and came up with 4955. And I have a feeling the answer will be different the next time the moon is full.

8. It only works because you have indoor plumbing

The truly rustic have to deal with the concept of infinity.

:rofl:

9. Flush the toilet next time you do the calculation. It will definitely change the result.

UNLESS you have an odd number of toilets in the home. In which case you could always flush 2 at a time but you would have to flush them simultaneously so you would need another person to help you which........now that I think about it bringing another person into the equation would cancel out the toilet flushing effect.

I got nothin.

10. Unless you're in the Southern hemisphere

In which case - since the water circles the other way - the result would be 75.

11. That's because you are doing the same calculation

over and over again. No matter how many times you do it, as long as you keep the same formula, you'll get the same results. 2+2 will always equal 4. Why are you surprised by this? :shrug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. No no....

What I am saying is that every time I do the calculation, I come up with the same result....no matter when I do it!

It just surprised me...one would think that a different number would come up if you do the calculation at a different time?
:shrug:

It is still really strange to me...it's almost like one of those paranormal things I think. The odds against getting the same number each time must be tremendous.

15. Have you recently sufferred a head injury we should know about?

:P

[LeftyFingerPop]

16. Well, sort of.

I was using the men's room in Burger King the other day. I had some kind of "spell" and passed out. I must have hit my head on the urinal on the way down, because when I came to, the urinal was shattered to bits, there was a bump on my head, and one of those "urinal sanitizing cake" things was stuffed in my mouth. By the way, they don't taste as bad as one might imagine.

14. You're going to have to move.

You are obviously in some sort of space/time vortex. Like that ride at Knott's Berry Farm.

17. Dubya had this problem, too.

His daddy jut donated a library wing to Yale,a nd it went away like magic!

[Skittles]

18. I get 2637 now!

I will be shocked - SHOCKED I TELL YOU - if I get the same result at noon!!!

[kedrys]

19. I got 11393

You're doing it wrong. :P

20. Numbers are magic. Just ask any engineer...

There is a magical equation out there for any problem that needs to be solved.
