One time I lost my shoe and my mom made me keep looking for it but I couldn't find it nowhere so I had to walk around with one shoe on and one not on with only a sock that kept getting dirty all the time and then it got a hole in it...

The implication about not being able to take the square root of an IQ was that it was not possible because the IQ was negative. <BR>I suppose you can with a lot of imagination. <BR>This whole exchange reminds me of a graduate student who went to another university from Clemson. (I was at the other university.) He was about as uncouth as they come. He once made fun of a student who was having an epileptic seizure in his class. <BR>He made also made a statement that was at once intended to be boastful as well as degrading. He said that when he transferred from Clemson, he raised the IQ of both institutions. I suggested that enrolling at my school had the effect of putting his IQ through the absolute value function -- divided by 2.

The answer is 7...Did I win anything?

Hate to break it to you xx, but the whole world is nothing but idiots...

Al: <BR>That student of yours was a smarter idiot than me if he understood your suggestion. But then I was only a lowly Liberal Arts History major.

Ok, I got it Al, but I like the Cah Tawk Guys, Click and Clack's solution "It only works if the answer is two." <BR> <BR>Although you can always make soyburgers out of the entire argument if you use e. <BR> <BR>And if e doesn't equal a squared emcee, then is it the same as saying I eat what I see?

Hey Al, at the risk of being kicked out of the Fodor's USA Idiots board roundtable, I would add that you can still take square roots of negative numbers. <BR>And I believe that currently many relativistic astrophysicists believe that antimatter and antigalaxies may exist in such a manner that perhaps having a highly negative IQ, in an anti-universe sense, may actually be a desirable thing! Careful with those unwitting compliments!

Hey [email protected]! I find that when I lose my shoe, it helps to take the sock off as well. That way, my sock doesn't get dirty, and it won't get a hole in it. I hope this information helps. Have a great time!
