a math problem

What happens when an undefined variable is .34 or larger?

[imatfaal]

it stops being undefined and takes on a defined range? And what's with the thread title.

And what's with the thread title.

 

I was wondering that too. I assumed the answer was going to be some kind punchline...

Gosh darn it, I'm retarded. It was supposed to be "no greater than 0.33" ... not "larger than .34."

 

As long as U is smaller than 1/3... then

 

1<3U

 

... I told that joke to my wife, and she said I should try to pick up ladies at the bar with it. She said she'd like to see that. Apparently it was charming and women would have to be great fools not to reward such a thing with physical affection.

I think you were right the first time. If 1 < 3U then U > 1/3.

 

If U < 1/3, then 1>3U.
