vashperTwo mathematicians
Warning! Not for Alaska guys!
Two mathematicians at the restaurant argued how well most people know the math.
One (pessimistic) argued that most of them does not know at all, and other (optimistic) - that at least a little, but they know some.
When pessimistic walked to the bathroom, optimistic called the waitress and said:
- When my colleague will return, I will ask you a question. Did you answer "one-third of the X third degree".
- And what's the question? - Asks the waitress.
- Yes, it does not matter, just answer "one-third of the X third degree" Clear?
- Ah! "One third of the ex-third degree" - Repeats the waitress.
-- Yes Yes. It's what I'm asking you.
The waitress goes, repeating to herself the phrase "ex-third degree".
When pessimist returns, optimist says - "give something to ask from our waitress, say, some simple integral". Pessimist agrees.
Optimist beckons waitress and asks:
- Sorry, do you remember, as accident, which is equal to the integral of the X-second degree dx?
- One-third of the X-third degree ... - readily meets a waitress.
Pessimist very surprised, optimist laughs merrily.
The waitress moves a few steps and turned over his shoulder, adds:
- Plus a constant, of course.

Dulltool17Vashper- obviously not for our friend from Denmark either. Joke is not in need of translation.

vashperDulltool7, I'm a little edited the first version, on which the Dane reacted. For example, in the Russian language instead of "X in the third degree" is usually referred "X cubed" or simply "X cube". I simplified.
In general, it is believed that the Danes - people with a sense of humor, a little more than the Swedes.

TCLouisSpeaking for myself, I think most of us lose out at the mathmatical level, not the Russian to Englis translational level
