My challenge to Mathematicians

[mitchymo]

Right, you know the song from Grease (don't ask me, i'm musically challenged) with the line "i've got chills, they're multiplying"....

...well, how many times would your chills have to multiply before you froze to death?

 

[koval]

42

 

[mitchymo]

42

Really? That seems way too many surely.

 

[JustAsking]

Yes, 42. It is the universal answer to the question, "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?" When in doubt, the answer is 42.

 

[mitchymo]

can i have the calculation?

 

[vince]

42. There is no formula. It's just what it is.

I don't get it, 42 why?

 

[D_Theophallus Kneedgroin]

They are lying. It's 12

Do you take the average temperature that people would consider to be chilly and the temperature which is low enough to drain the body temp and then start multiplying?

i.e if 15degrees centigrade was chilly, -15degrees centigrade potentially fatal, difference=30degrees so 2 4 8 16 32 would mean chills would have to multply more than 4.75 but less than 5

i'm confusing myself lol

You wouldn't freeze to death, you'd be electocuted first evidently it's elecrofied

No it's plain and simple 42. Try to accept that. It's a fact.

Noooooooooo, i will not be converted! I need proof!

Its the same amount of licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop. Give or take 5 licks because everyone is different.

I am inclined to believe this is the most logical answer so far. :smile:

Oh rats! I don't know any mice. :frown1:

you definetely need a towel then

 

[mitchymo]

lol, why?

 

[montanaguy]

I don't get it, 42 why?

Read "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to The Galaxy". that will answer your question about "42". LOL :tongue:

damn you. did you really need to blab?
