4 Pictures and 1 Math Question

Happy holidays from GatorPerson!



Here are pictures of Mr. Darcy at 9 weeks.








Math Question:
Found on a Wendy's medium french fry box: "We figured out that there are 256 ways to personalize a Wendy's hamburger. Luckily someone was paying attention in math class."






This implies 256 different combinations of things to add to the basic hamburger and bun.






How many individual items are there to choose from that would allow a hamburger to be built 256 ways?

And how long did it take you to get the answer?

  • I had to think for maybe 30s, because I'm not a mathematician and there's a Patriots' game on in the background. But I agree with the 8.

    Mr. Darcy is such an adorable fuzzball!

  • I didn't do the math. I was too busy trying to figure out how to quantify Mr Darcy's adorable quotient. Decided that's not possible. I miss puppy breath. :-)

  • Merry Christmas, GP! There is a wise old saying, "In the darkness there are CherryBombs," and tonight, one of the longest nights of the year, we CBs are out blog caroling, pushing back the winter darkness by spreading holiday cheer. Before we came to see you, we were cooking up the Great Caroling Conspiracy over here: http://bjwcreations.com/cbBarAndGrill/archives/411

    I was going to sing The Twelve Day of Christmas to you, since it comes the closest to doing math, but I changed my mind.

    Everybody ready? We'll start with something easy:

    O Come, All Ye Faithful

    "O come, all ye faithful,
    Joyful and triumphant . . ."

    LOVE the pictures of Mr. Darcy. Wishing you all the joy of the season, GP!

  • Adeste fideles. Laetae triumfante. Venite, venite.....
    OK. That's all I remember.
    Are we supposed to sing on our own blogs?

  • Oh, come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.

    That is one adorable puppy. Awww.

    If there are only 8, that means Wendy's doesn't allow pineapple on their burgers. Nor squash. Pooh.

  • LOL! You can do whatever you want. And I WAS going to sing it in French, but I don't remember it.

    Come and behold Him,
    Born the King of angels . . .

  • to (belatedly) finish GP's Latin verse (sorta -spellings are phonetic):

    venite in Bethlehem.

    Natum videte, regem angelorum
    Venite adoremus, venite adoremus, venite adoremus, Dominum!

    Merry Christmas!

  • Frosty the Snowman
    Was a jolly happy soul
    With a corncob pipe and a button nose
    And two eyes made out of coal

    Frosty the Snowman
    Is a fairytale they say
    He was made of snow
    But the children know
    How he came to life one day

    There must have been some magic
    In that old silk hat they found
    For when they placed it on his head
    He began to dance around

    Frosty the Snowman
    Was alive as he could be
    And the children say
    He could laugh and play
    Just the same as you and me

    Frosty the Snowman
    Knew the sun was hot that day
    So he said let's run
    And we'll have some fun
    Now before I melt away

    Down to the village
    With a broomstick in his hand
    Running here and there all around the square
    Saying catch me if you can

    He led them down the streets of town
    Right to the traffic cop
    And he only paused a moment when
    He heard him holler stop

    Frosty the Snowman
    Had to hurry on his way
    But he waved goodbye
    Saying don't you cry
    I'll be back again some day

    Thumpety thump thump
    Thumpety thump thump
    Look at Frosty go
    Thumpety thump thump
    Thumpety thump thump
    Over the hills of snow

    We wish you a Merry Christmas
    We wish you a Merry Christmas
    We wish you a Merry Christmas
    And a Happy New Year!

    (((HUGS)))
