1) Start with the given:
CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR
2) Change all U’s to V’s (which is proper Latin anyway):
CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR
3) Extract all Roman Numerals:
C V V L D I V
4) Add all the numbers:
100 + 5 + 5 + 50 + 500 +1 + 5 =…

And missed the duck by being a foot too high. The secondshot and was a foot too low. The third cried, “We hit it!”

A group of mathematicians and a group of engineers weretaking a train to attend a joint conference.
Each of the mathematicians had a ticket, but only one of the engineers did. The mathematicians were
snickering about this when one of the engineers returned to the car and shouted, “Conductor’s coming!”
All of the engineers hurried back and crammed into a restroom, and when the conductor came by, he knocked on the door
and said,”Ticket please.” The engineer with the ticket passed it under the door, and the conductor punched it
and returned it. After the conductor left, all the engineers came piling out, and the mathematicians sat there in amazement.
On the return trip the mathematicians decided to do the same thing, so they only purchased one ticket amongst them.
This time,none of the engineers had a ticket. The mathematicians were snickering again, when an engineer
ran in the car and said “Conductor’s coming.” All of the mathematicians piled into one restroom and all
of the engineers into another. The last engineer in knocked on the restroom of mathematicians and said,
“Ticket, please.” He then took the ticket and joined the rest of the engineers.
THANKS TO K.MEALY (PROBABLY AN ENGINEER)

A surgeon, a Mathematician and a Politician were arguing about whose profession was the oldest. The surgeon stated that his profession was first, “After all”, he asked, “who do you think helped god make Eve out of one of Adam’s ribs?” The mathematician said “No, before Adam and Eve and even before the Big Bang, there was chaos and God needed a mahematician to show him how to use chaos theory.” The politician spoke up, “Ha! I win, who do you think caused the chaos?” Thanks to Craig S.
