This is GD so serious business only in these parts.

 

[Klo]

Yes and no

M=C+21
M+6=5(C+6)

Ah ye, my bad. You can see why I did quite badly at maths A level


Still don't see the relevance of the father though.

Better than most joke threads on GD....IMO.

 

[Klo]

Work out what C is and it will click

Surely C is the age of the son though?

 

[Klo]

Oh, got it. I hate maths.

Father hasn't implanted his sperm yet so he's not around?

 

[Virdi]

So what is it then?? lol

 

[Ricochet J]

So what is it then?? lol

The kid is -3/4 years old = -9 months = mother and father haven't had sex yet = father isn't around.

 

[Tefal]

The kid is -3/4 years old = -9 months = mother and father haven't had sex yet = father isn't around.

-9 months.... father is currently banging the mummy

 

[redeye_uk]

predictable

 

[.Lethal]

Fun? Sure it was.......

 

[Ricochet J]

-9 months.... father is currently banging the mummy

Fair enough!

 

[Virdi]

LOL

 

[Ksanti]

I'm confused, I get the joke, but I think I've done the maths wrong:

x+21=y
x+33=5(x+6)=5x+30
x+3=5x
3=4x
x=3/4

Not seeing where the negative 3/4 is coming from?
