She fell into a math problem in a grade school curriculum, didn't she?

Susan had 150 lemons. She put an equal number of lemons into each storage drawer in her refrigerator. If she put 30 lemons in each drawer, how many days can she store them until her husband files for divorce?

This calls for 7*8th power of coconuts

u/KipRaccoon Sep 01 '26

Lets see... 7⁸ = 49⁴ = 2401² soooo.... 5764801? That seems right, let me check a calculator... yup, checks out.

u/SonyScientist Sep 03 '26

Would that be "coconuts!" or no?

But only if the swallow grips it by the husk.

u/mrs_faol Sep 01 '26

An excellent question but it cannot be accurately answered without knowing the air speed of an unladen African swallow.

u/Dry-Ad8891 Sep 01 '26

How much can an African swallow?

Or am I supposed to assume it’s an unknown variable?

In the summer of 2001 my friend Travis and I brought the cheap plastic patio furniture on the roof after the last sleepover of summer and had a pancake breakfast on the peak of the house. Core memory unlocked thank you very much.

u/Osmo250 Sep 01 '26

Damn, I was close. I thought it was "purple because aliens don't wear hats"

The bear is white.

u/Agzarah Sep 01 '26

Sloped or flat roof though? That can affect the size of the pancake

1

u/Floor_Cereal PURPLE Sep 01 '26

Also, don't forget that if it were watermelons that the trucks had to carry, the answer would be "Green, because aliens don't wear pizza hats"

1

u/dave_campbell Sep 01 '26

That’s like saying 2 + 2 equals … fish!

1

u/ShiningGemstone1 Sep 01 '26

Bingo! It does equal fish! You get a medal!

u/DethNik Sep 01 '26
