The answer to Mildred’s equation is 1

I love it when OJ gives us homework, even when it’s that easy.

How they ever managed to find their schoolroom in the second place is beyond me.

The MIT grad midgets and dwarves have returned to thoroughly amuse us with their outrageously hilarious punch lines, physical comedy, and overall jovial antics : )

The answer has to be 1, or a number higher than 11 that ends with 1, since the suffix “st” is there.

You dare expose me to math?

What was the negative first thing you learned?

Bah! It should have been the (sin^2(x) + cos^2(x))st thing your learned.

Go swimming. It might have been the first thing learned, but not it’s not one of the prime things you’ve learned.

The equation is not in the same hand (or font) as the text in the speech bubbles. Probably Steenz did a cut-and-paste from an equation editor—and not TeX or LaTeX (again, you can tell by the fonts). The multiplications signs are a wee bit too large. Still, this is the best-typeset math formula I have seen in a speech balloon since a certain Zippy strip many years ago.

If they were continuing the same storyline from last week, I would have suggested the movie “Runaway” starring Tom Selleck.

That must have been a mouthful to say.
