@heros-bane and I are at war against @askthefwrp
forty-eleven is clearly 4,011, not between 49 and 50.
BUT heros-bane and I are putting our differences aside to declare war!
forty-eleven is CLEARLY not 15
pick your side and choose your fate
[[Look mate,
According to this Calvin and Hobbes strip:
7+3=73
Ergo:
Forty-Eleven = 4+11
4+11=15
QED]]
OK, BUT IT’S 40 NOT 4
SO FOLLOWING THAT LOGIC, I’M RIGHT!in fact even if it WAS four you’d STILL be wrong! it’d be 411
7+3=73
4+11=411
40+11=4011
[[Seven ain’t seventy either. Clearly, this is some kind of combination of digits, where the order of the sum matters.
7 (tenths place) + 3 (ones place) = 73
4 (tenths place) + 11 (ones place) = Forty-Eleven.
Try again.]]
of COURSE it’s a combination, but there’s no ACTUAL addition!
7+3=73 because 7 3=73
it has nothing to do with the places! Simply putting one number in front of the other!
ADMIT IT TABLE! NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT THIS YOU’RE WRONG!
[[Now hear me out.
To get 4011 out of this, we would need a third number, or digit if you will.
4 (hundreds) + 0 (tens) + 11 (ones) = Four hundred and eleven.
4 (forty because it’s the tens place) + 11 (eleven, unchanged in the ones place) = Forty-Eleven.
Hobbes is really seeing each plus as a way to separate each group. Here’s the hypothetical order to Hobbes addition:
[[Larger intervals]] +…(Hundreds) + (Tens) + (Ones) +….[[Smaller intervals]] = net result.
Therefore, 7+3 is not the same as 3+7.
And 4011 is different from 411, which according to traditional math would be 15.
411 = forty-eleven = 15
Face it, I have a better grasp of Watterson math than you!]]
