Chocolate math

By Murray Bourne, 20 Apr 2009

A friend brought me back some chocolate from his recent trip to London. My wife and I particularly enjoyed the gesture, since we both like quality chocolate with high levels of cocoa:

And now for the punch line. 🙂

    Well, be assured the maths is correct. The graphical representation is just an illusion. Probably she already knows and pretends she has the upper 50% 🙂 Just enjoy the mutual win-win privilge 🙂

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
