- Archimedes - The Unkown man of the dreams - The man on the streets
Archimedes walked down the street. Then he saw a bathhouse . He decided to take a bath. Not knowing that it would be history. Archimedes stepped into the bath Archimedes : '' Aah nice I 'm going to take a bath .'' Archimedes liked it so much that he fell asleep. And he dreamed away '' Archimedes , Archimedes , '' whispered an unknown man '' H .. Hey who's there '' said Archimedes afraid '' I have to tell you something. It will make your famous '' said the man '' 2000 years from today they will still talk about you '' said the man '' Yes ? Come on tell me '' said Archimedes excited The unknown man told Archimedes what can make him famous. He quickly woke up and ran naked through the streets . And shouted '' Eureka , Eureka. I found it. The key to my succes!'' One man asked what was going on The man : '' what is going on Archimedes '' ? Archimedes : '' I 've found something amazing '' The man : '' What have you found ?'' Archimedes : '' I have found a book that will make me famous. It is called a history book. I wrote my name in it. And wrote a story which can make me famous and important '' Archimedes : '' So ? What you think of it huh. Great idea he'' The man , '' Is that not lying ? I'm just saying you know. The gods will not be please'' The man : '' And please wear a piece of clothing '' The man : '' I see things I do not want to see '' Archimedes : '' Hahaha , you should be glad that you see my body . The body of a famous person '' The man : '' In Your Dreams '' Archimdes: My story that will make me famous is. That I will step into bath water and that is sloshed over the rim of the bathtub. Because of that I figured out that you can find out whether the gold of the crown is from pure gold. I knew that gold is denser than silver. This gives a golden crown a smaller volume than a similarly heavy silver crown. A crown of gold in water would occupy less volume than a forged crown. And because of this great solution. I will become famous So, that is how Archimedes become famous. The unknown man gave him the book and told him an good story. The unknown man told him about the math solution. The idea came from the unknown man. So Archimedes didnt made it up.
Einstein: I admire your courage. Well here it comes; who owns the fish?
Bob looked at the hints for a while and was in his deepest thoughts. Then after a short while he answered with a lot of assurance: I know, thats easy, the German owns the fish
Einstein looked at him with astonishment and asked surprised: How do you know that so fast? You didnt even make notes or something like that?
Bob: Easy; the least information is given about the German and the Brit. British people usually dont own fish, so it must be the German, but to really know for sure, I was wondering: We live in Germany right? Einstein still in amazement said: Yes, but what does that has to do with the answer? Bob: Well, Everybody I know from Germany owns a fish. In addition, you also own a fish, although you arent from here, it must be the German. Einstein: So... you actually just guessed it correct with some weak information? Bob: Ehmm, If you say it like that, it sounds very stupid, but yes I did. Einstein now looked at him with pure disapproval. Einstein: Although you have guessed it correct, you still dont belong to the 2% of the population. You didnt use your brain, so you dont deserve it. Bob looked disappointed and said: Well okay then, I guesses I will solve the riddle by making notes and thinking really intensive. Einstein: Thats the spirit! Maybe you still will enter the 2%. Bob now grabbed a piece of paper and started to make notes and used his brain intensively. He was like a 1 hour after the class was dismissed still busy with the riddle, but finally he got the answer, but with full astonishment he looked disappointed at the result, because it wasnt the same answer as he got earlier. Bob: I dont get it, why do I get something else than the German. I thought I did everything perfectly right? Einstein looked at it and smiled. He understood the fault he made, so he approved him to belong with the 2%.
Einstein: Although you didnt get the right answer, I still consider you as a member of the 2%, because despite the fact of the difficulty you still didnt give up and it isnt even a big mistake you made anyway, so I accept you.
Einstein showed the mistake and corrected it. Bob understood his little mistake and was pleased with his words. Bob: Thank you Einstein, Im also going to make a riddle which blows your socks away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next day Bob gave Einstein his riddle: Riddle: A high school has a strange principal. On the first day, he has his students perform an odd opening day ceremony: There are one thousand lockers and one thousand students in the school. The principal asks the first student to go to every locker and open it. Then he has the second student go to every second locker and close it. The third goes to every third locker and, if it is closed, he opens it, and if it is open, he closes it. The fourth student does this to every fourth locker, and so on. After the process is completed with the thousandth student, how many lockers are open? Einstein: Wait a second, let me think 30 squared is 900, thats less than 1000, so it must be 31! 31 lockers are open! Bob: Well done Einstein, but now youre again thinking too much. Why not just thinking logically? Isnt that much easier? Einstein: This is called mathematics, you have to use your brains. Logical thinking has nothing to do with this. What you call logical I call stupidity. Bob: Is it really stupid to do something on a fast and an easy way? I think youre wrong and please admit for the first time in your life that youre wrong. Einstein: I didnt mean to say that doing something on a fast and easy way is stupid. But I think that you really have to use your brains when solving riddles, otherwise, what are riddles for? Bob: Thinking smart. That doesnt only mean using your brains, my friend. But OK, lets see what other people answered: The students find this idea of the principal very stupid and useless, so they dont do it. No locker is opened or closed! Why would you open, close and open a locker again? Thats really stupid. There can be students who arent at school, because they are ill for example. So the counting will be wrong then.
Bob: And these answers, my friend, arent from some smart university students or something. No, these answers are from primary school students. You dont have to be smart to solve riddles. You have to think smart. So everybody can just solve riddles and have fun! Einstein: You may be right Bob, again you surprised me because of your thoughts. Everybody can do this, just think smart! And of course most importantly: have FUN !!!
Teacher: Yes it is. Seriously son, given the country's finances, you need to subtract costs AND add revenue if you really want to balance the budget. Paul Ryan: Dang, I never thought of that sir. Light bulb going off on this end of the phone, that's for sure. Teacher: So is there any way you can add some dollars back into your spreadsheet? I mean those tax cuts for the rich are due to expire at the end of the year. If you don't extend them, you can add billions back in! Paul Ryan: Er, no, I can't do that. I would hate to divide those rich folks from everyone else in the country. The rich need money too you know. Teacher: OK, well, how about closing some of the loopholes that big billion dollar corporations use to avoid paying tax? That will generate a humongous amount of money that you can add back into your budget. Paul Ryan: Er, that's a no go too. As you know, the Supreme Court ruled in the Citizens United case, that corporations are people too, and we Republicans would hate to take money out of the mouths of our poor corporate people. I mean, how unfair would that be?? Teacher: Well, would you consider a good old cut in defense spending at all? Even a moderate cut would put trillions into your plus column!! As in, trillions Ryan!! Paul Ryan: That's a non-starter too, sir. Our party still believes that we need to be able to destroy a gnat with the full force of a multi- gazillion dollar military, so out of total respect to gnats, we want to keep as much of our military in place as possible. Teacher: That's a mathematical shame, Ryan. Paul Ryan: But sir, I just want to divide up the GDP in a way that's loved by the G.O.P!! Teacher: I know but your reluctance to add significant revenue is simply going to increase the deficit and multiply the country's financial problems. Paul Ryan: It is?? Teacher: It is!! Paul Ryan: Darn! Crap! Bummer! Teacher: And what's more, your miscalculations may lead people to conclude that voting for a Romney-Ryan ticket simply doesn't add up. Paul Ryan: Darn, crap and bummer times two!! Look sir, election day is looming so I really need to get my sums right on this budget. Is there anything else you can suggest that could help me do that? Anything at all??? Teacher: Only one thing, Ryan. A quick crash course in the basics. So let's get going here. 1+ 1 = 2, 2 + 2 = 4, 3 + 3 = 6...
Teacher: Hello everyone! When you guys had your break I have wrote a sum on the board. Who can solve this sum on the board about the pie chart?
Student 1: Pffff that sum is so easy. The answer is 236 Teacher: Dont say something if you dont know it. First think and then say something. (Student 1 was thinking, but still couldnt find the answer) Student 2: Sir, how do you have to calculate it? Teacher: You have to look at how many people go without bus, make a table and then you can calculate how many people go by bus. (The teacher is waiting for an answer, but no one say something) Teacher: Come on guys. Does no one have the answer? You have to be kidding me. Student 3: The answer is 252 Teacher: Finally someone has the answer and has it correct (looking at student1 who had the answer wrong)How did you calculate the answer? (Student 3 is explaining how he calculated the sum on the board) Teacher: Very good.
Student 2: Why is it actually called pie chart? I mean what has math to do with pie? Teacher: Thats an interesting question, but unfortunately I dont know the answer either. Student 1: I think its called a pie chart, because I think that the inventor pie very much liked. Student 3: Do you seriously think that that the reason is why it is called a pie chart? Student1: Why do you think its called a pie chart? ( Student3 is thinking, but said nothing, because he couldnt think for a reason) Student 2: Lets look it up on the internet.
2 minutes later Student 2: Oooowh so that is the reason why it is called a pie chart. Student 1 and 3: What is the reason? Student 2: Here it says that it is called a pie chart, because it looks like a divided pie. Student 1: Now I get it.
The End

Kaoutar walks away angry Beyonce: Kaoutar is just a sweet dream of a beautiful nightmare! *singing again her own version of sweet dreams* Dora: IT SAYS *almost screaming* no wait, its a mathematical riddle! Kaoutar comes back.. Kaoutar: I was lonely.. Beyonce: t's a little too late for you to come back, say it's just a mistake, think I'd forgive you like that, if you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrong..*singing If i were a boy* Kaoutar starts crying..

Johnny Depp: I dont wanna play anymore, I wanna go home and look for other friends. See ya at the funeral THE END. OR NOT..?
Mr J.G. Bttner: Children I am now going to give you a little assignment to improve your mathematical skills. Please add the numbers 1,2,3,4 up until 100. A few children complained, but eventually they started with the assignment. A few moments later: Carl Gauss: I have the answer! Mr J.G. Bttner:Impossible! Its supposed to keep you busy for quite a while! Show me your answer and how you worked it out! Carl Gauss : The answer is 5050. Mr J.G. Bttner: Its right too! Explain how you did it! Carl Gauss : Surely. You pair up each lowest number with the highest number remaining. Like this you will get 1+100, 2+99, 3+98 etc. When you add them up you will get 50 times 101. When you do 50x101 you get 5050. Its that simple. Mr J.G. Bttner: Well done Carl, you surely deserve a 10 on your report card. Carl Friedrich Gauss was a famous mathematician. He invented and formulas and was a great aid to todays math.
