Dear AB,
I am helping my girlfriend with her maths homework. We are stuck on 6×3 –
she says it is 247 and I think it is 63.
Which of us is right?

Shane,
Take the square root of 6. Divide this by the number times you ever see three buses all of the same number and colour on the same route on the same day (this bit is important – they must be the same colour or the equation won’t work).
Sub divide by the number of Pot Noodles you and your girlfriend have eaten in the last week.
Add the two numbers together and subtract the number of times you’ve said the words “One Direction are changing the way we think about popular music in a post modernist society”.
If you’ve followed the above correctly the answer should be 12.
Good luck!

This can only be a gift
Giving is so much better than receiving Ankur!
Aunty, I did your method several times and still keep getting eighteen. Damn.
Keep trying John!
Aunty, do double decker buses or one of those buses pulling another bus accordian style count as 1 bus or 2 buses?
Please hurry – my fingers are in counting holding pattern until you respond
7 buses
What happens if you don’t eat Pot Noodles, I don’t so I can’t get the answer.
Eat pot noodle Harry!
Will it make me smarter 🙂
No!
The new maths. I will never catch on.
I know. Sad isn’t it….
