"If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is." John von Neumann
You mathematicians and your applied logic- that's where it all goes horribly wrong.I'm selling out and converting over to miles to make it easier on everyone
.
Nooooo!!! If they want to know your distance in miles, they should be able to convert kilometers to miles and vice versa! Little math does not hurt anybody :bigsmile: :glasses:
Personally, I think math is deceptively treacherous, but I am capable of using a calculator.
Mathematics are gloriously beautiful and so logical... it is arithmetic that will get you every time:laugh:
I think she just insulted my intelligence...that's okay I enjoy my uncomplicated life.:happy:0 -

I didn't mean for it to come across as insulting But if it did, the blame is on John von Neumann

Hey...careful now... that is how I make my money...Math is logical and true -- unlike the English language where one word can have multiple meanings. Now THAT is deceptively treacherous.
LOL! And math is how I make mine 0 -
Is it too late to join? My goal is 84 km for October, 7 km done so far.

I agree. I speak fluent math. It's just easier this way.. :grumble:
BTW, I love your weight loss ticker :bigsmile:
Yes! It is much easier. Mathematics is my second choice of therapy (after running, of course :bigsmile: )
And thank you :blushing: I love the fact that someone gets it :laugh:

Uh... I didn't... I guess I have been spending too much time treacherously and deceptively exploiting the English language for its multiple meanings. If I didn't, how could I possibly stay in the business of creating ex-wives?
*Although as an after-thought, I suppose dividing assets and getting alimony requires at least minimal math skills.... or maybe not if I just demand it all....0 -

"I'm trying something different, does anybody run listening to audio books? It didn't seem to make my run and workout to bad"
...I've downloaded podcasts for listening while I run: only problem is "wait, wait, don't tell me" makes me laugh so hard I lose my stride!
