[2013-Apr-05] That math is wrong!

Post by dsmiller95 »

Did anyone else notice that the math in today's comic isn't right? Either X should be the number of sexy texts sent per year, or there should be a ratio multiplied in of sexy texts to regular texts

YES Thank you.

Yeah, I'd do it like this
P- probability you will send a given text to the wrong number (any text)
C- number of contacts you have
N - number of parents
X - number of sexy texts
the equation unchanged.

There's also a probabilistic function based on name proximity in the contact list, as well as a function based on name associations in each person's head. For example, my mother and girlfriend share the same first name. Which is why I very deliberately have them listed as "Mom" and "-Girlfriend'sName-"

I think the denominator should be (C-1), since the intended recipient is likely in C.

And this, Zach Weiner, is why you shouldn't make math jokes.

Also, pretty much everything is scarier than global warming models when you look at past global warming models and compare them to today.
Time to piss off people with logic and facts!

This also assumes that you only send sexy texts to your parent by accident.

that's probably the most correct assumption one should make.

Unfortunately there are not a enough pig poo balls to stop this. We need to close the pig poo balls gap!

At the current resolution I have set on my monitor the browser cuts off the part of the image that has poo on balls. All this lack of poo balls is making me want to analyze comics' math.

Thanks Ed, now whenever I see my dog poop it will be both humorous and disturbing.

It'll be even worse when you see it un-poop.

Thankfully I probably won't have to see my dog unpoop. Thankfully he also doesn't eat his own poop like many dogs do. Unfortunately, he does eat the cat poop. It is especially not hilarious when he gets the cover for one of the litter boxes stuck on his head at three in the morning. Although it was somewhat funny and very sad when it happened and he backed himself into a corner, unable to see or move backwards anymore. So he just sat there until we decided we should go see why the dog is quiet for once.
