> [@burpo\_the\_wonder\_mutt](#): > > The only scientific way to arrive at that number is to use Paulynomials. (Groan)… * * * For any specific number (x) to be determined from the scientific way, the solution can be reached by adding the greatest chosen whole number divisible by the mean of the least whole number(s) that is (are) evenly divisible by the product of the first whole number and the rounded up square root of that larger whole number. Now, subtract the larger of the resulting digits of the first computed number from the second necessarily whole larger number and there is your answer according to _Mathematica Scientifica_, 3rd edition.

According to _Principia Mathamatica_, 5th edition (edited by Cal Q. Lutz), all sinkholes can be predicted using an advanced probability equation where x is defined as the level of water in an average acre of soil and r is the density of the soil. When x sub r is calculated using inverse manipulation, the derivative annex becomes fixed. Scholars are divided on these results and the resulting quotient has been deemed, quite positively, as irrational. ---

Pauly Shore has been divorced 22 times - once, by Griselda Addams Stanwick Delgada Phartuccio, ten minutes _before_ they were actually married, when she got out of the limo, saw the church and finally came to her senses.
