Three kingdoms surrounding a lake had fought for centuries over the island in its center. They finally decided to settle the dispute once and for all with a battle. The first kingdom sent fifty knights, each with three squires. The second kingdom sent only twenty knights, each with only two squires. The poor third kingdom sent only one old knight, plus one lone squire.
The night before the big battle, the first kingdom's knights cavorted and drank heavily as their squires sharpened weapons and polished armor. The second kingdom's knights also cavorted and drank heavily as their squires sharpened weapons and polished armor. Even the third kingdom's lone knight cavorted and drank too much, while his lone squire prepared dinner by slinging a long rope over a high branch to hang his cook pot over his campfire.
The next morning, when the battle began, all the knights were too hung over to fight, so the squires fought instead.
They battled for hours but when the dust finally settled, one solitary figure limped away from the carnage: the third kingdom's lone squire was victorious!
Which just goes to prove: the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides!
Totally incorrect. They are equal only if the battle ended with a tide. This proves only that c2 > a2 + b2.
I love it!
I've got another maths type joke..
An accounting firm is going through the recruiting process.
The boss interviews the first candidate and asks:
BOSS: How much is 1 plus 1?
ERIC: Well let's see. 1 plus 1 is 2.
BOSS: (Shakes his hand).. Thanks for your time. We'll let you know.
The same question is put to the second candidate:
BOSS: How much is 1 plus 1?
SHEILA: Easy! The answer's 2.
BOSS: (Shakes her hand).. Thanks for your time. We'll let you know.
Again, the question is asked to the third candidate:
BOSS: How much is 1 plus 1?
MIKE: (Pauses).. Whatever you want it to be, boss.
BOSS: Congratulations! You're hired!
Ok, so it's more of a business joke.
Anyone else got any maths jokes? I'm partial to a bit of differentiation humour myself.
(har-d-har-har!)
This isn't really funny, but...
Everyone in the world falls into 1 of 10 categories.
Those who understand binary and those that don't.

That reminded me a semi-joke about remembering multiplies of 2 by heart:
1, 2, 4, 8,
10, 20, 40, 80,
100, 200, 400, 800,
......
