At first I thought someone over at Blackboards in Porn had beat me to the punch on my plans to be the most successful author of the math mixed with porn (or is that porn mixed with math?!?) sub-genre, but no worries. Just an epic, and SFW!, time waster and slightly dirty feeling knowing that said people in photo were naked and doing things illegal in 27 states seconds after this photo still. s/t to BoingBoing (not a porn site, name and subject matter simply a unfortunate coincidence!) for the link and the following summary from BBIP:
- math
1 + 1 = 2
1*
Mathematics - university/nursery school level.
This is clearly an extremely advanced level mathematical course, focusing on the Peano axioms for the natural numbers which formalised mathematics in the late 19th century. This course would culminate with Gödel's second incompleteness theorem which shows that the consitency of the Peano axioms cannot be formalised within Peano arithmetic itself.
Alternatively, it could be that the pupil, even at her advanced age, hasn't grasped that 1 + 1 = 2, and that all the after school one-to-one lessons in the world aren't going to work. Indeed, she probably won't even understand what 'one-to-one' means.
8/10 - loses two marks for 'math'.
