Katie would make one great math mom!
Math Mom: If I've Told You N Times, I've Told You N+1 Times
I can practically hear my mother's voice saying "if I told you once, I've told you a thousand times." Well, for this shirt, we've boiled the adage down to its mathematical terms.
Now buy the shirt, stand up straight and go clean your room! http://shop.neatorama.com/product-info.php?math-mom-told-you-n-times-tshirt-pid477.html
More math and geektastic science T-shirts from the newly spruced up Neatorama Online Store (work in progress, mmkay?):
- Integral of 1/Cabin = Log Cabin
- Geometry is For Squares
- Math Puns are the First Sine of Madness
- I Love Math (in Queen's English)
But maybe the saying is different for other people? I've never heard anyone say "If I've told you once, I've told you twice", or "If I've told you 5 times, I've told you 6 times"...
Eh...it's probably just me. :)
n+999 works or n+99 as well
"I've you you N x "
equals "I've told you N + 1 x"
So I've told you 1 time
= I've told you 2 times
(here we apply the formula again)
= I've told you 3 times
(and so on, until...)
= I've told you 1,000 times
So If N = N + 1
then N = N + 999
Therefore the formula does work to Sam K !
i think i read this somewhere before.
but it never beats being printed in t-shirts.
Now I can't do the same while being angry. =[
