"And The Answer Is..?"

A Mathematician, a Biologist and a Physicist
are sitting in a street cafe watching people
going into and coming out of the house on
the other side of the street. First they see
two people going into the house. Time
passes. After a while they notice three
people coming out of the house.

The Physicist says: "The measurement
wasn't accurate."

The Biologist concludes: "They have
reproduced."

The Mathematician says: "Now if another
person enters the house, it will be empty
again!"

"A Mathematical Limerick"

Can you figure out this mathematical limerick?

                                             _
             12 + 144 + 20 + 3 \/4 2
             -------------------------------- + 5 X 11 = 9 + 0
                       7

\\
//
\\
//
\\
//
\\
//

Give up? It reads as following:

              A dozen, a gross, and a score
              Plus three times the square root of four
                   Divided by seven
                   Plus five times eleven
              Is nine squared, and not a bit more.

And you thought you knew everything.....
