Maths Question...
This is from a Scottish exam for 16 year olds - It gave me a headache and I gave up - And my maths is not bad...

Thats just fucking pointless. I mean, how many crocodiles or zebras live in Scotland anyway? -
It's funny because over there you call it "maths", with an S. Here in the U.S. we call it math. I was watching a movie the other day filmed in the UK, and they kept referring to it as maths...I thought they were just messing up so I researched it. This is only the second time I've heard it referred to as maths.
The answer to the maths problem above is: potato

When I am on GFY I often Americanize my spelling - It's saves arguments - I wasn't really thinking when I posted this though...It's funny because over there you call it "maths", with an S.

In the US is it called math and nothing longer? Here i'm sure maths comes from it being short for mathematics.It's funny because over there you call it "maths", with an S. Here in the U.S. we call it math. I was watching a movie the other day filmed in the UK, and they kept referring to it as maths...I thought they were just messing up so I researched it.

So who got the cock in the assComment

thank you for wasting my time on this problem
I started it at least. Maybe I will finish it later
Here is what I have so far:
we have a time function T(x)= 5(36+x^2)^1/2 + 4(20-x) <=> d (time)= d(distance)/d(speed)
1-Simple, here the crocodile swims only, so we need to solve the time equation for x= 20 meters.
a) T(20) = 5*(436)^1/2 + 0 = 104.403065 Sec
b) Simple, we need to solve for x=0 meters.
T(0)= 110 Sec
2- we need to find the derivative of the time function and then solve for it. Have fun I have work to doI buy my traffic from

The Zebra ran away while the Crocodile tried to work out the equation.
