Ma & Pa Kettle Math
This is awesome! Hillbilly southern types Ma and Pa 'prove' to their city-edumacated son that 25/5=14 through division, multiplication and addition, algorithmically, step by step. If you're not up to par with your basic arithmetic, you're probably going to be wondering whether 14*5 really equals 25...

The math is unassailable, but your comment has a flaw--the Kettles lived in a pre-latte version of Washington State. [Just to note that there are hillbillies all over]
ReplyDeleteWouldn't this also work for 11,111%? I'd much rather have that than a mere 14%.
ReplyDeleteAbbott & Costello do this same sketch. (but better)
