A Mathematical Wish :)











I knew someone once that knew how to crack it...

Comments on the demonstration of this equasion are very welcome! ;-)
We're having a bit of trouble cracking the last bit...

If (force/acceleration) = mass and
(s/ss/s) = s/(ss*s) = 1/ss, then
(force/acceleration) times (s/ss/s) will be smth like
mass * 1/ss = mass/ss = ma

Hum. There must be smth wrong here :s
Any ideas?

I think I have an explanation, but it is VERY far-fetched ;-)

I have seen several copies of this riddle, but without the (s/ss/s). So the result is 'Merry x mass'. But look there:
php version

This is a PHP version of the equation. You can see the result there:
Test

BUT the (s/ss/s) in the code is NOT to be taken as mathematical notation, it is a complicated (stealth) way of calling a PHP function that replaces all occurences of 'ss' by 's' in the final string!!

It seems someone blindly turned this PHP code into a picture, thus making it wrong??? Weird...
