re: Math Problem: Saw this on FB and now I'm depressed

That's easy. The only thing that threw me off at first was not noticing that the last line had a multiplication symbol. Oddly enough I caught the mugs.

I ain't falling for that trick.

15
Burger=5
Beer mug=1
Beer bottle=10

5+1x10=15

I didn't read all 18 pages but did anyone point out to the people arguing that the two mugs are the same can no way prove that since one is in front of the other.

Yes, from my other post:

actually I just went back and looked at the picture:

in the 3rd line you see 2 beer mugs, but you must make the assumption that the beer mug behind the first beer mug looks exactly like the beer mug in the front.

You actually only see 2/3 of the back beer mug

So now the equation, if LNCHBOX wants his argument, should be:

if z = beer mugs

5 + (z+(0.66 * z)) + (z + (0.66 * z)) = 9
(z + (0.66 * z)) + (z + (0.66 * z)) = 4
(z + 0.66z) + (z + 0.66z) = 4
1.66z + 1.66z = 4
3.32z = 4
z = 1.204819



P.S: I used this thread as a way to go over my algebra skills again... dust them off a bit before I jump into a technical field in a few months

At irst glance it looks like 50 cent draft specials

I love that you feel the need to repost your little nonsense again. Did you not get enough attention the first go round?
