Bringing in the nerd, the only way for that to work would be if two of the unknown variables (a, b, or c) were 0, and the other would have to be 1, or -1. Assume that b=c, and that b=0. With the subsequent formula to be correct, either would work because they make the formula -4 (=/<) 4(2)^(1/2), if a=-1, b=0, c=0. If you insert a=1, then you would have 4 (=/<) 4(2)^(1/2), which is also true, since 4(2)^(1/2) ~ 5.657.
Assuming this is in the realm of real numbers only, then x^2 is ALWAYS >= 0. Since a^2, b^2, nor c^2 can be negative, they must all be <= 1, summing up to 1. Ideally, each A B and C would be sqrt(1/3), so that a^2 , b^2, and c^2 would each be 1/3, adding up evenly, but any multitude of combinations of square roots of numbers less than one could satisfy the initial conditions.
Since A, B, and C must each be 5, around 5.65ish.
The maximum ABC can be occurs when a, b, and c are all sqrt(1/3), around 0.577. (.577)(.577)(.577), which is the max ABC, is about 0.19. A B and C themselves can be negative, bringing ABC to a maximum at +- 0.19. Assuming the worst, 9(-0.19) is -1.73. 5.65 – 1.73 is indeed less than 4; however, the values for A B and C to bring 4(a+b+c) to 4 are different than the values needed to bring 9abc to it’s minimum, thus 4(a+b+c) will ALWAYS be =< sqrt(32)+9abc, when a^2+b^2+c^2=1.
Sorry, SneakyNinja, I did not see your comment at the time I made mine. Looking on it, you completely disregard the possibility of non-integer squares, like a^2 = 1/3. Thus, you make the presumption that 9abc will be 0 and 4(a+b+c) will be 4, which while ideally is true, is not exclusively the only possible combinations of A B and C.
Well, the only way a^2+b^2+c^2 can =1 is if one of the variables IS 1 and the other two are 0. That being the said:
4(1+0+0)=4*1=4
Square root of 32=5.656854249492381…
9(1*0*0)=9*0=0
4 IS =< 5.656854249492381 (+0)
Okay, Upon reading the other two answers to this problem, I see about 8001 issues with my own solution. That being said, i really shouldn’t be trying to do math at 2 in the morning…
Which reminds me. *gets out the Celine Dion and BeeGees CD*
(Good. I’m revising for a few tests next week. School was alright. My German teacher told I had worked hard, which made me feel all fuzzy inside.)
Nooo… not Celine. Dear God, I may even press the implosion button if you’re going to do that.
(Arthur will be proud of you! Are you going on to higher ed after that? Silly not to, a lad with your smarts.)
Oh alright. Ooh, what about this? *fetches the Elvis and Beatles CD*
(Thank you. I wonder where he’s got to? Must be busy though. I am indeed planning to do A-Level German. It’s gonna be tough.)
That’s better. Can’t go wrong with a bit of Elvis, even in his Odd adventures.
(You’ll manage it, I’m sure. I have to admit, I’m pleased I don’t have that stuff to do anymore. It’s all been replaced with other stuff.)
Ooooh! Ya’ll are sooo sweet!

Oh, and keep scritching… a little to the left, then the right.
OH, YEAH!
Acutally, i was being sarcastic and my comment mis-stacked. and i just realized that my norwegian comment had the wrong link, so don’t click it. the problem is fixed now.
Caine had a very unsafe the Husband Fail. it is easilly identifiable by the large amount of comments around the two times he actually had a link to his name. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON”T CLICK IT! but clicky my name!
Before I replied, I looked this up, and found, among other “pleasantries”:
“Urinalysis – Your doctor or nurse may ask for a urine sample to test with a dipstick or to examine under a microscope…Your doctor or nurse might ask you to urinate into the first container, then stop the stream for a prostate massage before completing the test. ”
Uhhhh..I’m going back to reading the Urban Dictionary now…
No because it was a deliberate advertising gimmick so they didn’t change it till some old biddy got it (the joke, not the worms in the rear) and complained bitterly.
Did you look at the gas prices there? Christ I’m glad I live where I do! We consider 2.23 unreasonable! I’m sure that’s not a current price but it never even got close to that in South Florida……. cept maybe on the beach…
Trust me it wasn’t intentional… I’m the one who took the picture and everyone inside the gas station couldn’t understand why we were laughing and taking pictures!
No sorry mrs_z that price was for regular gas, the premium gas is about $7 per gallon, but as
“The Fuggernaut Lord Captain of the Sovereign Coalition for Fail LOL Enhancement and Common Studies” says,
we do live closer together!!
Too little time, way too much FAIL
Too little FAIL, way too much time
waaaiit, that sounds weird
Emily Dauby sucks
Oooo there’s a boy crying for attention.
wow
I WANT ATTENTION!!! >:(
It’s okay dude, you’re into brahs;)
too little brain,too much COOKIES !!!
[trollmodus]C-C-COMBOBREAKER!!!
Ow yeah! [/trollmodus]
[/Fail]
hahahahaha
too little ice, too much frozen water
so all the fishes became a boner
and the worms ended up in the rear
unable to be babybait anymore
I don’t think “boner” and “anymore” rhyme.
It’s Leila-rhyme.
SECOND!!!222
noobs
If a^2 + b ^2 + c^2 = 1, prove that 4 (a + b + c) =< (square root) [32] (/square root) + 9abc.
Solve.
*wanders away even more confused & mumbling*
*wanders away with him*
The square roots of what specifically?
That is a puzzle isn’t it?
*wanders into a ditch*
My leg!
HEATHEN! that is the BLACKEST MAGIC!
Don’t mess with the toaster.
the Toaster, you mean. its CAPITALIZED.
I apologize good Sir. I shall never forget to CAPITALIZE
The Toaster
I had a comment here… it died.
*squeeze*
I’m sorry to hear of your comment.
*proposes a toast to it’s life*
*tear rolls down cheek*
When’s the funeral?
Thursday! Second fail of the day.

Or you could do it my way, and just katana it.
Have you tried multiplying both sides by the power of dance?
I was thinking more along the lines of strong weed, but sure, that’ll work.
HAHAHAHA!!!
Now never bring math back to failblog again.
Or I will katana you next.
Just divide by zero, that takes care of that problem.

I call fail on myself.
Not before Christmas they don’t!
*wanders away confused & mumbling*
A step up from worms in the front.
My friends’ dad owns a tackle shop. He has worms up front!
I should suggest he puts them in the rear, it may make all the difference.
Agreed. His rods may well sell better.
He might even get a few bites.
True. So, is that where you got those fish nets?
No no, I trawled through co(b)bled streets for those.
Bet there were a couple of lines cast in your direction!
It was sinker swim for a while there but I didn’t take the bait.
You’ve got to reel ‘em in, jam…otherwise they’ll get away.
I hope they’ve a chemist nearby.
I have a feeling Boots doesn’t sell arse de-wormers.
(Afternoon, Jam)
Depends what type of worms you mean. hehe
(Howdy pardner)
I shiver to think what kind of worms I mean.
(How’s your weekend so far?)
Earworms? Some of them really should be in the rear.
(Not bad, been reading a bit. Might chop some more tree up. Yours? How was school?)
Which reminds me. *gets out the Celine Dion and BeeGees CD*
(Good. I’m revising for a few tests next week. School was alright. My German teacher told I had worked hard, which made me feel all fuzzy inside.)
Nooo… not Celine. Dear God, I may even press the implosion button if you’re going to do that.

(You’ll manage it, I’m sure. I have to admit, I’m pleased I don’t have that stuff to do anymore. It’s all been replaced with other stuff.)
If you chop up more trees, then poor Skwerlly Bob has nowhere to live…
(Hi guys! I’m late!)
You’re late? Oh no, it can’t be mine! I used a condom. No…wait… dammit, I used a washer!
Did you use a potato?
It’s true, I told the potato I loved it, but in reality I was just using it.
The poor legume! Does its family know about this?
They’re still in the dark, else they’ll turn green with envy.
Lol, I guess “too much booty in the pants” got too old.
That teeheehee looks a tad familiar. Ah nvm.
*slams down a pint of castor oil*
Castor oil makes me vomit
Lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Have you ever had a pint of castor oil in one sitting?
African or European castor oil?
.
* Wonders why castor doesn’t pass (no pun intended) the spell checker. *
Norwegian. they make it from their whales.
So, I lit a fire, isn’t it good, Norwegian oil. ♪
☺YOu have a number pad!☺
I wonder if they are proud to have worms in their rear.
They seem very proud. They wanted to scream it out so that everyone would know!
Maybe they do tricks.
Happy birthday to cat,
Eat cake and wear hats,
I bet you’re only 23,
Happy birthday dear Sidhe. (eeee)
*prefers it to rhyme with sidey)
Clicky!
Wonderous!

Happy B.Day Sidhe Cat!
Happy b-day, Sidhe Cat!
I got you a ball of yarn and a catnip mousie that squeaks when you bat at it.
Ooooh! Ya’ll are sooo sweet!

Oh, and keep scritching… a little to the left, then the right.
OH, YEAH!
I suspect it was deliberate.
Ooooo yeah. And why wouldn’t you – there’s nothing like dragging ya butt along the carpet. Oh god, now I want worms just thinking about it.
10th!
Birthday today? How lovely,
Wait until she’s 18 and she’ll have many things in her rear.
That was naughty
When ever I get worm there, they’re never fresh.
I don’t even want to begin to imagine what you are talking about!
I will. Umm…you have a zombie lover?
LOL
Land of Lincoln?
Lust Over Lamborgini?
Lord of Labia?
Long overdue laxative?
Legend Of Link?
Lemon or Lime?
Little Or Large
-worms-
Like her or “like her” like her?
OCD attack!!!
That would be
Left or right or left or right.
Oh no.
They won’t nest here either =(
There, there.
*pats on shoulder comfortingly*
Nothing can comfort me…
Nothing, but nest..
Not even a cookie?
*waves chocolate chip cookie*
Or this?
*waves drink about*
*watches drink slosh about*

Lithe Overt Lass.
Is this just lip service?
FTW! – although it was kind of vulva.
Don’t mind if I do.
*lathers over lamb*
Lump of Lube?
LOBL™ would have been a little wrong, I think
I have the strange yet distinct feeling that he was attampting to use an internet acronym…
I have the strange yet distinct feeling that you don’t understand what we’re doing here.
No, it was just another reference to our favorite lubricant – now available from Morningstar in a fakin’ bakin’ soy-based alternative.
Acutally, i was being sarcastic and my comment mis-stacked. and i just realized that my norwegian comment had the wrong link, so don’t click it. the problem is fixed now.
So… you accidenty a wrong link? How does that happen, exactly?
I changed it to something other than my normal UD page, and forgot to change it back until I had already posted two comments with it.
How lovely to share their yummy troubles with us
Yummy like a value-added felcher surprise?
Yikes! Are you filling in for GCF today?
It’s a sucky job but someone has to do it!
*spits*
Somebody’s gotta keep the worm up for the team.
jinx! HAHAHA
*mumbles saymynamethreetimes!saymynamethreetimes!*
[telepathy] So jam, you play the same jinx rules – ie. no talking ’till released by saying name three times?!? [/telepathy]
*hears voices*
Who said that?
*looks around, sees nothing*
Oh dear
She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor,
And she’s dancin’ like she’s never danced before…
I liked her better as a welder.
Clickie.
Right back attcha!
err…I really hate to say it but… safe clicky.
If by “safe” you mean “traumatising but not torturous”, then yes.
All you need is some bacon lube. The worms will just clear right up
Caine had a very unsafe the Husband Fail. it is easilly identifiable by the large amount of comments around the two times he actually had a link to his name. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON”T CLICK IT! but clicky my name!
What’s this? Director’s comments? This isn’t the DVD release yet, is it?
YouTube is unsafe? Since when?
i think you all got the wrong link. it’ll be on my next comment…
I peed myself laughing! Loved it, Dr. B.
Now, if you’ll excuse me for a few moments….
Ah… the power of dance!
She was a welder, too? Awesome, a female to talk to!
Hilarious!
^He’s back from the dead!
Quck kill him!
And by quck I meant Quack.
And by Quack I meant Quick.
Double fail.
And by Quick, you meant Quit.
QUACK QUACK QUACK
Don’t call me a quack! I have a PHD!
“Keep Hope alive!”

That’s such an advertising win!
I believe it’s a cry for help.
*roffles* Genius!
Maybe it doubles as a warning.
From a doctor.
Or a Vet.
LOL what the heck…
At least it reminded me to make a vet appointment for the dogs, which makes it a PSA.
Agreed.
And PSA reminded me to make a prostate exam appointment.
So is that the blood test, or are you a more traditional guy?
Before I replied, I looked this up, and found, among other “pleasantries”:
“Urinalysis – Your doctor or nurse may ask for a urine sample to test with a dipstick or to examine under a microscope…Your doctor or nurse might ask you to urinate into the first container, then stop the stream for a prostate massage before completing the test. ”
Uhhhh..I’m going back to reading the Urban Dictionary now…
Yep, and then they give you the bill and it feels like a massage from Andre the Giant.
CLICLY MY NAME!
Do it clicly! Nao! Oh, too late!
That’s a party stopper.
I’ll have the Power Premium worms, please.
Ohhkeee den. You know dees PP worms are two eenches across, raght?!
Lurlene, come over here. I need some assistence with these here worms.
*pats gator* *goes frog gigging*
Do you think they ever realized how strange that sounded and changed the sign?
No because it was a deliberate advertising gimmick so they didn’t change it till some old biddy got it (the joke, not the worms in the rear) and complained bitterly.
Wow dude that is just WAY too funny!

http://www.anonymity.es.tc
maybe it is a computer virus they are promoting, and the speed of your computer numbers on top is what is required.
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle on your snout…
(And I thought small rodents were bad)
That sounds like a twisted version of the Hokey Cokey.
The coke wafts in,
The coke wafts out,
the coke does strang things inside your snout!
And i think you meant hokey pokey…
That’s what it’s all about.
That’s fer sure! The carbonation is hard on your sinuses…
Did you look at the gas prices there? Christ I’m glad I live where I do! We consider 2.23 unreasonable! I’m sure that’s not a current price but it never even got close to that in South Florida……. cept maybe on the beach…
If you click on the link, try not to think too hard about the lyrics or you may wind up feeling a little queasy. I always forget that.
Eww! Away with your filth!
Potatoes as well!
I love this kind of fail. Even if it was intentional it’s still both funny and a fail.
Trust me it wasn’t intentional… I’m the one who took the picture and everyone inside the gas station couldn’t understand why we were laughing and taking pictures!
Fail !
Where? I don’t see a fail anywhere!
They spelled “wurm” wrong.
so does my dog
why?
No one knows why, all we know is that my carpet will never smell the same after having the back end a german sheppard dragged across it!
To the bait-mobile!
ahhh! its a Robin!
ahhh! It’s a Hobbit!
Holy signpost baitman.
The early bird gets the worm.
um…
*shrugs*
Don’t ask me, I don’t know.
um dumb hum sum
♫ My tapeworm tells me what to do ♫
Again the OP has FAILED to recognize the difference between poor wording and tongue-in-cheek.
This is a win IMO.
Don’t complain about gas prices guys, in the UK its 96p a litre, thats about £4.35 a gallon or $5.84…………..
Everything in your country is much closer together, not to mention better public transportation.
You’re comparing your premium petrol to our wormy gasoline; remember, you get what you pay for.
No sorry mrs_z that price was for regular gas, the premium gas is about $7 per gallon, but as
“The Fuggernaut Lord Captain of the Sovereign Coalition for Fail LOL Enhancement and Common Studies” says,
we do live closer together!!
If it’s a trouser “worm”, maybe this is anal sex win?
I don’t think a trouser worm would be a win. Trouser python on the other hand…
They have a medication for that!
Beats puking them up.
That’s easilly done if you have a pint of Norwegian castor oil handy.
WTF the prices? We have 1.05 Euro/liter. That’s about 3.97 Euro/gallon. That’s $5.26 USD/gallon! I would like to have your prices….
Not to pour salt in your wounds, dear, but that sign’s a mite old. Gasoline in my town currently sells for about $1.87.
“…and crabs up front!”
and that’s when you know when to get back in your car and just drive away
Whaddaya mean fail, that’s a sure win. I bet the double entendre was intentional.
this one made me laugh.
