man: Can I help you? Roger: I'm picking up a pizza. Last name "Fox". man: Oh, yes, the "17/51 cheese, 109/327 sausage, and 86499328/259497984 mushroom." Roger: Er... Jason: Cool! They gave you all our change in pennies?? Roger: Son, in the unlikely event that I ever ask you to order our pizza again...

Uhā¦ whatās the percentage of all those fractions? Does that also make it more or less cheese, sausage and mushroom on a single pizza?
Dewey Premium Member almost 15 years ago
17/51 is one-third (17x3=51) and 109/327 (109x3=327) is one-third so the mushrooms are one-third, but I didnāt work it out to be sure. My head canāt hold that big a number.

How come these numbers didnāt include Ļ?

Sheik Yerbouti (ha ha, cool name!)

:-P
Allison Nunn Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Love the pockets full of pennies, but only 1/3 cheese? I say triple it!!
Spam flagged (yet gainā¦)
Machtyn almost 15 years ago
Ah, thatās 17/51, not 17/31. bleeep, small print in the ātoons these days.
Allan CB Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Avolunteer - 1/3 of the pizza is covered in sauce+cheese+mushroom, 1/3 is sauce+cheese+sausage, and 1/3 is JUST sauce+cheese

Victoriassecret knows not and cares not.
How does one spam a spammer!?
Do they really think they will sell one dimeās worth of stuff?
hossblacksilver almost 15 years ago
Yeah, flagged the bot as well.
Celecca, is that Digger I see?
runar almost 15 years ago
What I find surprising is that he went to pick it up. I donāt order pizza from anyplace that wonāt bring it to me.
P.S. Just flag it. Unless you have a comment thatās on topic, the spam about the spam is more annoying than the spam (ācause thereās only one of it).

Can we change āFlagā to āFlogā?
starguy almost 15 years ago
Apparently, Jason missed school the day they taught āsimplifying fractionsā.
RadioTom almost 15 years ago
1) The post is obvious spam 2) itās sometimes less expensive to do carry-out than delivery 3) Or, maybe Dad was picking up the pizza on his way home from work.
Someone needs to give GoComics a spambot filter.

If you visit too many Victorias with secrets you can get a virus, i understand.
freeholder1 almost 15 years ago
Can we spam An Coulter as well?

gillbillvolume1 Your idea sounds wonderful. But their link scares me. What if it is attached to a virus.
And you are so right Rayannina, It is so much fun bashing the spam. It is cathardic, to be sure.
The only thing worse than spam is people telling us what to do about it, as if they have all the answers. News Flash: You Donāt!

@ gillbillvolume1,
The problem with your idea is that you have no idea if the fake number you give is not really someoneās actual number.
I wouldnāt go to a spammerās site anyway, it is no doubt crawling with key-loggers and viruses.
josh_bisbee almost 15 years ago
You should see what happens when Peter orders the pizza.
possiblekim almost 15 years ago
Roger, would you like Peter to order the pizza instead? I recall you complaint something about College fee is only a fraction compare to the his pizza toppings :D
Michael Beeson Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Usually this strip gets A+ for math, but this time, only a C since the fractions donāt add up to exactly 1.
Shikamoo Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Oh, I would have loved to be the one to give out that change and see Dad do a slow burn.
slowflyer almost 15 years ago
Mr Beeson,
Respectfully, you get the C, not Jason. All 3 fractions simplify to 1/3 exactly, so they total to 1.
Rakkav almost 15 years ago
Jason, youāre just doing that to show off.
(Yeah, I know, Iām being Captain Obvious here, but itās better than adding yet another comment about our need for the Spaminatorā¦)
lfanterickson almost 15 years ago
Nerds just wanna have fu-un! And the pizza place wanted to get rid of all of those pennies, anyway.
captainedd almost 15 years ago
I think they got mad because itās kinda hard to separate a pizza into thirdsā¦
Rakkav almost 15 years ago
Not really. Slice it into sixths (relatively easy) and then top every two slices as ordered. :)
(OK, since Iāve never made a pizza, I have NO idea if that would actually workā¦)
Me_Again over 14 years ago
Heehee. I should try this. Iām a math nerd(ette) myself.
Tijaro over 3 years ago
all equal exactly a third.
