    Correct – While the Fibonacci Sequence employs numbers, the process itself is not a number. I love the intellect of Mallet, even if he is ostensibly a bike rider. ; )

    It doesn’t even make sense to talk about “long” number since it depends on the context. Pi in radians is very short.

    That’s irrational.

    Which is the longer number: “One Thousand” or “1000”? This is kind of a serious question in this context: π is irrational, so you can never finish writing out the digits after the decimal number. But you CAN say that it’s “The ratio of a circle’s circumference to it’s diameter” which isn’t really all that long at all. Or how about a DIFFERENT infinite sequence: π = 4*(1/1-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/9+…)

    And she’s absolutely correct that the Fibonacci sequence is not a number.

    So this week Caulfield’s questions will contain traps. This could get interesting….

    I think by now she actually enjoys asking “Any questions?” to see what he comes up with.

    Caulfield doesn’t like to admit when he’s been bested. But, to his credit, he never stops trying. And his failed attempts build respect for Mrs. Olsen among the other students who get to watch.

    For us non-baseball fans:

    The term bloop in the context of baseball refers to a softly hit fly ball that falls into the outfield between the infielder and outfielder. It is the opposite of a line drive, which is a hard-hit ball. This type of hit can be frustrating for pitchers because the batter didn’t make solid contact but still managed to get a hit. It is often referred to as a “bloop single.”

    I disagree with Caulfield. He threw Mrs Olsen a knuckleball, and she knocked it out of the park.

    Love Frazz. I read each day several times in case I missed a hidden meaning or innuendo. (shoot, I just learned innuendo isn’t Italian for suppository)

    In the first panel Caulfield seems to have a haircut like A-Team’s Mr. T as B. A. Baracus.
