..haha, kids!..the obvious answer is “purple”..
Oprah Winfrey was great in that movie!
i don’t even get it
..this seems a theme w/you, schrott..heh!..
Wow
The answer is 42!
..no that’s Douglas Adams..(+1 for Life, the Universe, & Everything, though)..
Perhaps the question should have been more specific?
That will take another few thousand years
..you guys are obviously white mice..
If it’s going to take that long you’d better not forget your towels =)
..glad those 3 boys have good interstellar-packing prep..
has anyone actually read the book?
The answer and the question are actually mutually exclusive
Those two must work in software development.
What?
A good lesson on why not to draw the speech bubble before the text.
MERKINS, pay heed, here is an example of your often mis-quoted ‘irony’ in both the answerers’ response, and the askers’ confirmation.
Amazing! I thought my
housemate and I were the only people using a’merkin…
great minds think alike.
This is no fail. This is childhood brilliance win.
indeed!
Hasn’t everything the kids at failblog.org post been a win, yet they post it as a fail? IRONY! IT KILLS ME!
It’s not a fail, it’s just little-kid humor.
That’s no humor. The kid obviously didn’t know the meaning of the word “Estimate”
I don’t think a kid would’ve been able to spell all that correctly. It’s probably a teenager imitating a kid’s drawing.
you’d be suprised. i was a great speller myself. some kids are smarter than your friends =P
Spelling it correctly is one thing. Using the words “estimate”, “definition” and “correct” actively as part of your vocabulary when you’re just a little kid is, well, suspicious.
..it’s good to be critical, but hyper-critical borders on a phobia..
My oldest would actually be able to both spell and use those words correctly. He’s 6. Do not underestimate children…that could be hazardous. lol
yeah, my vocabulary words in elementary school used words like this all the time. I still remember learning the word “eradicate.” I learned how to read at the age of three (and no, i’m not “mistaken” or “lying”). I don’t understand why people assume you don’t gain intelligence until a certain age. This is not bad at all for a child. You don’t learn unless you try
I was a great spelller too! I could even read before everyone else in my classes!
I certainly can’t remember how they tested us, but I do remember that in grade six, I was found to be reading, and understanding at a grade 11, sixth month level. What I DO remember, is that I did not know what eradicate meant. Maybe grade 11, seventh month students were learning the word eradicate?
Wrong I was thinking purple.
If this had been done by an adult who didn’t have learning difficulties, then yes, a fail. Seeing as it’s highly likely to be a childs’ drawing, the correct response should be “awwww” not “hahaha what a ‘tard”
Hey lets label every mistake every kid makes during their developement a fail and upload it to the internet so people can laugh. *sighs* the innocence of the world has gone.
..uh, JK, puh-leeze..everybody in here (that i perceive) is chuckling at the funny mistakes kids make..i don’t see any “tard” implications (..wait, let me review–nup, nothing damning towards kids)..
..pls relax (Don’t Do It..for awhile at least)..
Pretty sure the only mention of “tard” on this board was by JK.
..cool!..we’re all as innocent as JK (if not more)..
Silly, you can’t compare numbers to oranges…
Orange is a number, I have orange number of apples.
Considering that the person asking the question would make the cast of Jersey Shore blush, “orange” is a pretty good guess.
Also, “A good guess” is a pretty good definition for the word estimate, considering the age this child probably is.
failblog fail.
hey, maybe the kid has synesthesia and is referring to the number he thinks is orange-colored.
..it still should be purple though, right?..
You mean it’s not normal to imagine numbers in different colors? LoL I’ve done this since I was a kid. Same with days of the week and months of the year. Of course, the months thing is largely connected to a calendar we had in my kindergarten class, but still.
Ummmm, look up synesthesia……
I estimate that the creator of the pster is acrually a retarded adult.
is really a fail? u fail becase u 4rt he was being serious
that’s a win, i don’t know why, i can’t justify, BUT that is a win.
Really? This is what it takes to get on Failblog? A random ink drawing? I’ve sent in some fails that are genuine: none have gotten in. I don’t care that much, maybe mine weren’t interesting enough, but this is?
..well, yer not nearly as close and/or interesting to what kids do, Rodmy, they seem unique, eh?..try some Star Trek-related stuff..that’s sure to make waves–!..
Orange is always a good guess.
Not if you’re playing rhymes.
lol! I love when kids mistake a colour for a number!
(sorry about the spelling thing for “colour”, Im canadian)
u fail becase
Orange is my favorite number.
This isn’t a fail. This is a definite win…
this is clearly a WIN
It actually looks like “incorrect” in the third word bubble. That is actually funny.
FF6600 is the number orange.
how are the LETTERS ‘FF’ included with numbers make the text a number as a whole?
Karl Pilkington?
I have orange balls.
What? I’m counting balls with this kid’s number system!
Similar to how you can write the number three as 11: it’s not in base ten. I believe the hex-codes denoting colors (such as that is) are in base 16 – so we’d use letters as the numerals from ten to fifteen (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,10,…,19,1A,1B,… where “10″ in this case means “sixteen”).
(reply-location fail; should be in reply to ‘blank’ above, who questions the FF in a number…)
What if he meant a phone number in the Orange telecommunication service?
