My objection is to the first x, which *should have been* a +... I quote
from the site:
First we state that girls that girls require time *and* money.
Girls=Time x Money.
Last I heard, and meant plus, not times. So, time and money
should have been written out as Time + Money. The rest of the
proof falls flat on its face because, as Robin Panza said (she's not
on chat, sent the message privately):
Actually in math and is times and or is plus.
The quote 'Money is the root of all evil' is incorrect, if that helps.
The
actual quote says that 'the love of money is the root of all evil'
I don't know, I always heard the version without love.

Seems to me, if you include my own objection to a wrong sign being
used, it's:
Language Arts: 3, Mathematics: 0. g Robin, who spotted the mistake
in translation (from English to math language), is a scientist
herself, but of the generation somewhat closer to me in age than either
Liz or Weronika. I am a little disturbed that the young ones are so
careless of context, so willing to focus narrowly...
Math will do that to you g.
Robin throws in another interesting equation (philosophical, this
time g):
[...] anything we value requires time and money, so everything of
value is evil.
Of course g
