    Calvin is better off breaking stuff for a living.

    I thought Calvin was running away from home in light of that parent-teacher conference. What happened??

    Nice to see Watterson using ‘lose’ and ‘loose’ correctly. Unlike a lot of people posting online.

    Being the first problem is difficult enough. Now there’s math.

    If this were not just a cartoon comic, Calvin’s parents would need to enroll him in an afterschool tutoring program to raise his grades.

    If only Hobbes was there to help Calvin. I’m sure he could have gotten the test finished much faster. Accuracy, on the other hand, wouldn’t necessarily be the main priority.

    I have to empathize with Calvin here. I never experienced time going by so fast as I did a looooong time ago in college when taking some of my exams in physics and organic chemistry.

    Well, his version of addition has some nice properties. It is commutative and associative, for example.

    To be clear, both would be destroyed, if they hit hard enough to destroy either, and millions of years later we would have a new planet coalesce from the remains. But, you could, potentially, drag them together slow enough that they would just join and eventually gravity would tug them into a new sphere in the upcoming millions of years.

    Somehow my theory that math should be taught to develop basic problem solving skills is both proved and disproved, as only Calvin can do.

    maybe he should have used his imagination and counted out six planets then five more. after that would have been more fun crashing them altogether!

    Calvin, you should have noticed the particulates: Planet 5 broke into 5 pieces, add Planet 6, and then you have 11 new planets. I love new math!

    When one of my children was about 7 years old his school called in a neurological phsychiatrist to explain some of his behaviors. The doctor’s first comments were that he was extremely bright (knew that already, gets it from his mom) and that he was likely to end up as the next Albert Einstien or Genghis the Khan. The doctor seemed a bit non-plussed when my instinctive reation was “and?” All turned out well, a great relationship with the doctor and the son a very successful applied scientist.

    If 6 smashed into 5, breaking it into N pieces, the answer would be: 6 + 5 = 6 + 5/N + 5/N + 5/N … The answer would still be 11.
