uh..yes. I just calculated it to be 6 + 0.75 + 0.15 and 3 cents left over. So everyone pays 6.80 + 1 cent except for 1 person...
And you'd be wrong.
(6.8*3) + 6.81 = $27.21
OdiN can't do math either. 6.75 + 15 = 6.90 not 6.80

Someone call the NAACP. The test must be flawed. I smell discrimination.Originally posted by: ElFenix
uh oh(Asians, however, showed a very slight skew toward females above the 99th percentile, while there were too few Hispanics and blacks scoring above even the 95th percentile to compute their gender ratios.)

I didn't look at his math - I just looked at his answer (6.80 + 1 cent except for 1 person). Which is wrong.

I'm a Chef and use math every day thank you.

I think there are plenty of smart women that are dumbed down by the societies' expectations of them... With that said, a lot of girls go to school (university) to major in education, which is quite possibly the biggest joke as a major ever.

1c flour + 2 jumbo eggs/3 tbps butter + (stove heat in degrees C)(frictional coefficient of teflon) = pancake?

Very good, now try estimating those quantities in your head for 125. While doing the same for the rest of the menu, the four other parties and, oh yeah, estimate the order for the next three days while preparing said food.

Now, just make a tuna sandwich and iron my pants. Now you're more realistic to what I was talking about!

What part of being a Chef didn't you understand?

i don't understand why math skills are so necessary. for those who don't have the skills its not like they are f-ed its called a calculator or abacus.

What does leaving $7 on a table have to do with dividing $27.63 by 4?
who doesn't round at a restaurant?
It doesn't seem like it was a place you would tip at.
But if we want nice even numbers:
Divide $273,770 by 4.
I can tell you it will end with a .5(not an integer) because the last 2 digits are not a multiple of 20 just by looking at it. Definitely doesn't make nice even numbers.
273770 is an even number, last I checked.

His point is that any multiple of 100 is automatically divisible by 4. Since 70 isn't divisible by 20 (which itself is divisible by 4) then 70 isn't divisible by 4. This is a trivial mental trick for those who are smart enough to handle 4th grade arithmetic mentally. I believe his comment about "make nice even numbers" meant that the quotient wasn't a whole number.
oh, incidentally, $27.63 and 273770 each divided by 4 are rather simple to do mentally. Or, to put it another way, "Jesus Fucking Christ, you're dividing by a single digit number! You people mean that you can't mentally handle a 4th grade division problem - one that 4th graders do in seconds? You should be embarassed." Unfortunately, our culture is filled with people who are innumerate.
