| 1461625 | 2019-06-18 04:55:00 | Have a look at the equation first and see if you can work out the poem . If you can't, scroll down to the text . 12 + 144 + 20 + 3√4 + (5 x 11) = 9 squared + 0 (I had to use the word "squared" as I can't do the 2 by the nine . ) A dozen, a gross and a score, Plus three times the square root of four, Divided by seven, Plus five times eleven, Equals nine squared but not a bit more . :) Sourced from the TV programme "Q . I . " |

| 1461627 | 2019-06-18 05:10:00 | Thank you Richard. I have done it again. Have a look at the equation first and see if you can work out the poem. If you can't, scroll down to the text. 12 + 144 + 20 + 3√4 + (5 x 11) = 9 squared + 0 (I had to use the word "squared" as I can't do the 2 by the nine.) ________________________________________ 7 A dozen, a gross and a score, Plus three times the square root of four, Divided by seven, Plus five times eleven, Equals nine squared but not a bit more.

| 1461628 | 2019-06-18 06:04:00 | Now you have divided both sides by 7 Try this - I think. 12 + 144 + 20 + ((3√4)/7) + (5 x 11) = 9 squared + 0 |

| 1461629 | 2019-06-18 06:52:00 | You're right. Thanks for that Decibel, I made a real cock up of that. Hopefully everyone can work it out and see the fun intended. | Roscoe (6288) | ||
| 1461630 | 2019-06-18 08:32:00 | Nah, third time lucky... maybe (12 + 144 + 20 + 3*√4)/7 + (5 x 11) = 9 squared + 0 |
