The number is infinite (∞). It all depends on how many places you want to carry it. 22÷7 most shops carry it 10 places past the decimal (.) My calculators takes it 13 places. So, this was my answer.

Other could have a different set of numbers and we’d ALL be right.

Bad news mate. You just got the grand prize for missing the joke.

But that’s ok, because all us maths nerds finally got a chuckle.

He’s a psychologist, he doesn’t get that there can be math jokes the same way mathematicians don’t get that there are psychology jokes. Kinda evens out.

The greatest joke mathematicians play on psychologists is making them learn statistics in their first year at uni.

Maths equivalent of a blood sport.

I’m glad ya’ll got some humor out of this.

Why was the equal sign so humble?



Because he knew he wasn’t greater than or less than anyone else.

Unrelated to math, & a true story:

Many years ago, A friend of ours was driving through Nairobi at rush hour when her car stalled & wouldn't restart. Traffic started backing up behind her, & the guy in the car just behind her started leaning on his horn (as if that would help).

Our hero got out of her car, raised the hood (bonnet to you Poms), went back to the guy leaning on his horn, reached in his window to hold the horn button down herself, & told him:

"It's OK, I've got it now - YOU go fix my car!"

FYI: The last 8 digits of the number Pi are located on the last page of the world wide web. Even Google with AI hasn't read to the last page yet.

The 2021 & 2022 & 2023 Joke Threads

So a distracted guy is waiting to check in at a hotel and he suddenly turns around and hit the women behind him with his elbow right on her breast.

He is so flustered and apologizes/
Lady, if your heart is as soft as your breast, I am sure you will forgive me.

The woman very pleased by the complement tells him:
If you Dick is as hard as your elbow, come see me tonight at room 114
