FoxTrot by Bill Amend for January 13, 2019

Was the class before biology class math class? Paige must’ve had math on the brain and could not concentrate on biology at the same time.

Cute. Weird, but cute!

Surprising, given Page’s aversion to math.

The actual cell mitosis diagram would have been easier to make

Did she divide using meiosis or mitosis?

Decoded: 650 divided by 25 equals 26 with 0 remainder.

Can’t wait for group theory!

With the FDA laid off, the problem is multiplication.

Hate to tell all you budding scientists and mathematicians, it also looks like several older game controls, or parts of them, that used to lie around here.

This’ll show up in the teachers’ files of “clever but wrong answers”

This had to be Jason’s work. Paige probably made the fatal error of asking him for help.

As a retired teacher (general science for middle school) I find this one hilarious

Oh c’mon, Teach, she should AT LEAST get a few bonus points for creativity.

First panel reminds me of XKCD

Okay, clever.

You math is infectious.

Cell reproduction: when a mommy cell & a daddy cell love each other very very much, they get married and make a baby.

Ew! Wash your hands after lab.

I think she has mitosis psychosis.

Dont worry, for most teenage girls it is just an anaphase.

I’m such a geek. It looks like binary division to me, except that it’s wrong. Oh well. My mistake.

As an amateur cartoonist, I envy Bill Amend’s clean, straight lines. He must have amazing coordination!

Hahaha, thats genius

Late to the party, I know, but when this first came out, I wrote an Excel spreadsheet to solve by trying every digit in the dividend, the divisor, and the quotient. Once I had the program debugged, it took a whopping 49 seconds to solve. In a way, I’ m as big a math geek as Jason. :)
