The
Chim-Chiminey Equation
My daughter and I worked out this equation:
– 2 – 2
x =
– x – x – 2 x
This equation, when written rapidly with pencil on
paper on a hard surface, makes a sound much like this song passage from “My
Fair Lady”:
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be!
Chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be!
The equation works out to x = 1.
