When my oldest went to sleep last night she had twice as many sisters as brothers. When she woke up this morning she had the same amount of brothers and sisters.
Mazel Tov!! Twin boys!
“When my oldest went to sleep last night she had twice as many sisters as brothers. When she woke up this morning she had the same amount of brothers and sisters.”
When she worke up, she had the exact same amount of brothers and sisters as she had the night before.
you dont need twins
she had 2 sisters and one brother, twice as many
the mother had another boy during the night
2 sisters, 2 brothers
Squeak-
No, Odds of twins are 1 in 90 so single births are more common. Wednesday night she had two sisters and one brother, when she woke up Thursday morning she had two brothers and two sisters.
For the answer to have been twin boys the scenario would have to have been that my oldest daughter had four sisters and two brothers. While this is possible it is not the most likely scenario.
(By the way, I took your advice and didn’t tell my supervisor “in confidence” that my wife was expecting. As you may recall from the FLT thread I’m busy at work training in some people to try and fill in for me for the days that I’ll be out. I’m also busy preparing a speech for the bris but afterwards I’ll bli neder continue with the proof.)
oomis1105-
Thanks for catching that- it should have read “an equal number of brothers and sister”.
Enjoy the tuna bagel with your husband today!
Have a Gut Shabbos!
Look at this paragraph and on your first try, count every ” F ” in the following text:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS…
How many did you get? (on your first try)
Anyone?
4 on first try
6 on second try
spooky, no? When I was doing it- i knew there was a catch so I did it really carefully…but I got 5.
Its bec. for some reason your brain doesn’t process the word “of”-
you peel the outside cook the inside then you eat the outside throw away the inside what am i
hint it’s a food
Corn on the cob?
a plum wrapped in cellophane
if you like cooked plums
“Enjoy the tuna bagel with your husband today!”
What a memory – – I AM IMPRESSED!!!!! (And I did, thank you…)
ooooohh nice one dr. thats the exact answer
HERES A JEWISH ONE THERE ARE 2 KINDS THAT R REALLY 4
where is this from
moving objects from one domain to another
and whats wrong with the plum answer?
good answer, thats right. and the plum i dont get how; i heard corn and it makes sense.
What about throwing blood on two corners of the Mizbayach?
(From Pesachim- shetayim she’hein arba.)
yup thats also 2 that are four. its in Zevachim also
the plum thing was a half joke but it does fulfill the requirements
youll have to think about it
How did my wife convince me not to give our son a middle name of Pi? (My favorite constant.)
Uhh… she told you that he’d be made fun of for his entire life?
Cuz pple will think it’s just an initial.
Because his first name is “The” and you didn’t want anyone to call him The Pied Piper?
My favorite constant is e, by the way
My wife reminded me that Pi is the product of at least one irrational. Being that women are never irrational (sorry, don’t know the source) that would mean that I am the irrational one.
Radical Two didn’t go over to well either.
“Uhh… she told you that he’d be made fun of for his entire life? “
More likely she pointed out that it might not be pronounced with the long “i” sound, but more likely as “ee.” Dr. Pepper – would you REALLY want your child to have to get beaten up in the playground every day?
oomis1105-
Like “Al Pi Halacha”? I never thought of it that way since I just assumed everyone knows what Pi is.
A Real Idea-
I also like e but I like Pi better as it’s more mystical. Think about a small penny you find on the street. Pi is buried in it. All you have to do is measure the circumference and divide by the diameter. e on the other hand is the limit of (1 + (1/X))^X as X gets closer to infinity. Of course you expect that to produce something that never ends.
Anyway, his middle name includes both Pi and e.

Mea Culpa!
To think that the greeks figured out the basic concept without help of modern geometry is fascinating. Well, actually, the egyptians. Which makes you wonder about Yosef. but, onward. The Gemara in succah…area…but not now!

Have a gut yom tov.
Back next year, IY”H.
“Have a gut yom tov.”
After all the honey cake we will be noshing for three days, a gut is exactly what we will have for Yom Tov .
oomis1105–
Gut point.
I’ll B”N skip eating tomorrow (at least until nightfall).
[English is inconsistent. “Gut” in this case should be pronounced like “put”, not “putt”. It can also be spelled “Goot”, in which case “took”, “book” and “brook” would be correct – not “food” “boost” or “loot”.]
Dr. Pepper–
This one had your name written all over it:
Finally, some love for a perfect number
The Giants have an upcoming promotion in which they will give away Buster Posey replica jerseys, featuring the name and number 28 of their impressive rookie catcher. Posey’s number has a uniquely unremarkable history in baseball: it is the only number between 1 and 37 that is not retired by any major league club. Go ahead, try to name the most famous number 28 in baseball history. Bert Blyleven? (Alas, he also wore number 22, with Pittsburgh.) Rip Repulski? Andy Stankiewicz?
Why such a bland history for such a perfect number? That’s right: the only perfect numbers available to ballplayers are 6 and 28 — numbers that are the sum of its divisors. Football has four retired 28s: Abner Hayes, Willie Galimore, Curtis Martin and Marshall Faulk. Who knows, maybe Posey is the perfect guy to wear the perfect number.
(from a well-known online sports columnist)
I can only try-
Thanks, I used to be very interested in Perfect Numbers when I was growing up. I still find it amazing how closely Perfect Numbers are related to Mersenne primes.
When I was younger there were only 31 Perfect Numbers known and each one was closely related to a Mersenne prime. I used to go to the library to look at the newest editions of the Guiness Book of World Records to see if any new Perfect Numbers were found. (This was before Al Gore invented the Internet.) In the early 90s there was another one found and it was also related to a Mersenne prime.
There were 15 more found since then and it’s been proven that Perfect Numbers and Mersenne primes are one-to-one.
What was the first name of Joyce Kilmer?

WHO IS THE HEAD SURGEON?
The mother.
I can only try-
Back to perfect numbers:
The highest known perfect number is (2^43,112,608)*((2^43,112,609)-1).
Without looking it up, how many digits are in this number?
(If you cheat I’m going to make you list all the divisors that add up to the number.)
Dr. Pepper- do you like love riddles???? When its already off the rcent post list, I can always count on you to bring it up again….( just my observation)
blinky – Where have you been for the past 2 years?? Take a peek at this entire thread…
