Tree and a turd plus Tree and a turd plus Tree and a turd = 10

 

Best read with an Irish accent.

Sorry, but even with an atrocious Irish accent that equals 10 (ten) LOLOL]

Damn, never could add up.

 

Or perhaps the zero key is sticking again.

Strange? my calc says 9.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999?????

[MickJ]

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1

 

Or to put it another way:

 

a turd + a turd + a turd = 1

 

Tog, the joke was pre-decimal.

Here's one for you. Since ITV's "Who wants to be patronised by a millionaire", you'll have heard of a "googol".

 

So...what's a googol minus one?

 

Write the answer in figures, or words..either will do.

 

Wordbender has very kindly offered to submit a prize of the finest Louis Vuitton accessory to the first correct poster.

Contact Wordbender for your prize MickJ. (He's a bit short-sighted, so you'll have to say the answer out loud).

Mick and Paddy walk down the road and see a sign outside the Forrestry Commission office saying "Tree Fellers Wanted"

"Bejazus Mick" says Paddy. "If Seamus was with us we could have had that job."
