Saturday night nonsense

[Tennentslager]

So boffins the answer is 53

[SteamyTea]

Where did you get the 11 from?

[SteamyTea]

Got a square in it as well hasn't it.

So 6 + 5 + 4 = 15

 

Total when they are added together is 81

[Tennentslager]

The final shspe is a pentagon inside a hexagon, so 11 sides

 

In the other lines it has a hexagon, a pentagon and a square so = 15

[SteamyTea]

Sneaky f**ker

 

Reminds me of those SMP maths books in the 70's.

They ruined arithmetic for everyone.

I got a rather good O level with SMP, and I think I had a crush on the teacher - her name was miss slowly, wonder where she is now.

[SteamyTea]

I still wonder what Nick Johnson who taught maths at my first college in Bournemouth is doing.  He was one of the better lecturers.

Saturday morning nonsense now...

No 50 digit answers please, I'd like size of a whale, size of Wales, size of the moon or similar.

[Tennentslager]

Please don't think I make these up, I'm not nearly clever enough, just borrow from various sites across the net.

This one from Twitter feed of @wingsoverscotland

53! = 4.27488⁶⁹

 

Cube root of that is 1.62296²³ has
Sugar cube is 0.01m long, so cube has sides of 1.62296²¹m or 1.62296¹⁸km

does it include jokers?

[SteamyTea]

Does in my deck

[Tennentslager]

That's too many km for my head, can you not simplify to light years???

[Tennentslager]

No jokers...

So about 74.4 Mpc 

not that big really 

[Tennentslager]

Naw...far too big

[SteamyTea]

Too much sugar for my tea

[Tennentslager]

Been trying to work out a comparative explanation using everyday objects.

The sugar cubes would be about half the size of the Milky Way which is about 100,000 light years in diameter

So, if the Milky Way is a Basketball and the sun is a tiny tiny grain of dust...the earth would be the size of a microbes bollocks...then

Then answer is a football! Easy???

im lost, 49k ly is nowhere near 74 Mpc.

I wouldnt normally be bothered but i have made the special effort to learn what a pc is for this one so could you please be clearer with your explanation  

[Tennentslager]

Ed, I'm not sure I can explain anything much other than factorial equation to arrive at number of cm.

That's a big big number do has been simplified along the way including converted from metric to imperial the from miles to light years...it didn't go as far as parsecs.

#steamytea included jokers do started with 54 cards in the deck...so his calculations arrive at a much bigger number.

My answer is of course a football??

[jack]

I recall reading that every time you give a fresh deck of cards a good shuffle, you very likely arrive at a combination that has never existed in history. The number of possible permutations is 51!, or: 

 

80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,403,766,975,289,505,440,883,277,824,000,000,000,000

[Tennentslager]

New one...now be honest and post your first answer you lot.
