1. Teaching Maths In 1970
A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.
His cost of production is 4/5 of the price.
What is his profit?

2. Teaching Maths In 1980
A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.
His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or £80.
What is his profit?

3. Teaching Maths In 1990
A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.
His cost of production is £80.
Did he make a profit?

4. Teaching Maths In 2000
A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.
His cost of production is £80 and his profit is £20.
Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

5. Teaching Maths In 2008
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands.
He does this so he can make a profit of £20.
What do you think of this way of making a living?
Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers. )

[Durgdul]

math is our friend!

particle physics
gives me a hadron!:D

[jack schitt]

Durgs can do maths really well... his spelling needs a little work tho :)
lemme just find out what a hadron is :o

[marcell1002]

Maybe its Rocket scientist talk!!!

[Durgdul]

hadron: (from Greek hadros, thick), in particle physics, is any strongly interacting composite subatomic particle. All hadrons are composed of quarks. Hadrons are divided into two classes:

* Baryons, strongly interacting fermions such as a neutron or a proton, made up of three quarks.
* Mesons, strongly interacting bosons consisting of a quark and an antiquark.

Wikipedia dude!
I'm just a big dumb biker;)

yeah, a big dumb biker with a hadron.

wouldn't just be easier to say you have a tiny penis?

A subatomic penis? I mean, dude - that's nearly nonexistent

Horse?
Yippy tie eye a, mother-hubbard
nope sorry, just because one is hung like a horse, does not necessitate looking for love in the corral, I’m not FROM Texas!

(Note: for noobs & the memory impaired, Max IS from Texas.)


To the Texans that
1. Don’t have sex with horses
2. Can read
3. Can access the Internet
I am only joking with Max, so don’t take it personally
(last thing I need is 4 or 5 Texans mad at me)


LOL Durgs!!!! nice comeback

Thank you Jackie,

Pissing off the whole state of Texas ain't a smart thang to do.

But since this is Ozami - I doubt many Texans even heard yer insult (or even understood it)...

I may have been born a Texan, but I hang my hat in Tennessee

Yes I remember where you live, work, etc, I remember your damn "shoe size"
I can't help remembering.

My previous post was not meant as an insult to Texas, just a friendly one to you, I'll clarify, as I was working on little sleep when I wrote the previous post.
I said:
1. "I don't have sex with horses"
2. "as a Texan you would know more about horses than I, a Swamp Rat stuck in the north" (I did not say, only implied that knowledge was carnal)
3. The comment was meant for no other Texan, just you.
and I was "joking"> because I insinuated your carnal knowledge of horses:D

Oooohhhh - The home of "old no 7"

Yeah, Max is about 300 miles from Lynchburg.
That's about a 5.45 hour drive.
I don't know how long it would take on a horse, you'll have to ask him.

[jack schitt]

Have you seen the math they're trying to teach in Washington. This isn't funny any more. This is downright depressing.
