    Yes. Along with a cacophony of other Americanisms.

    "I'll be right back"
    "It's complicated"
    "You do the math"

    (ok only three)

    grrrr...every American TV show, in the last 10 yeares, has uttered those lines, at some point.

    Many things are in fact too complex\complicated to be readily explained

    and brb is totally reasonable.

    "you do the math" is utter shit and should be expurgated from the human psyche.

    i always do that 9 thing when i'm multiplyin by 9..
    i used to like maths, and be good at it, until the last two years of school i think i had four teachers and they were all crap, and thought things in different ways and confused me :confused:

    Your too complicated, Dave. I'm off. I'll be right back (on Saturday,) you do the math instead of talking to me.

    I feel that shitty math teachers should be shot, but, that is not a popular opinion.

    Interesting. But technically it's not a theory, it's a fact.

    Well, since we haven't tested it with ALL the numbers, it's theory, and it's not law, because there is a counterexample (doesn't work with binary, but one is such a faggy number anyway)

    so I'm content with the term number theory.

    So there's no proof by induction for it then?

    I haven't seen one, and I've been too fucking lazy to do one, but honestly? I was just fucking around with numbers one day and realized this correlation, I am certain it's widely known, I just don't know it's proper name, so it's tricky to find data regarding it.

    and, I mean, I've done some halfassed proofs in the past, but, nothing that I've been happy with.
