I saw this limerick, and thought it was clever to use

mathematics. Enjoy! Two for one! :-)

The British wordplay and recreational mathematics expert Leigh Mercer (1893–1977) devised the following mathematical limerick:

12 + 144 + 20 + 3√4/7 + (5 × 11) = 92 + 0

This is read as follows:

A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared and not a bit more

 Looks like the cut/paste didn’t work for the symbols - SC/CA on 2/9/24 11:41am
