ummm.... what's that got to do with monkey island.

 

Anyway, there could be a whole host of reasons:

 

B didn't want Q to eat ice-cream for 102 minutes.

6 didn't pick up B 49 minutes after he got the car or 6 minutes before.

6 didn't keep the car for .....

 

wait a minute. What am I babbling on about??? What's the post for, anyway ???

um..., no one seems to take into account that the guy may have just been late, i haven't worked it out yet, but that's probably it.

 

hmm..., then again, maybe not, i'm not really in the mathematical mood at the moment, i'm listening to Bob Marley.

There is none......its not mathmatically possible, there is no other explanation........

 

you're just trying to get out of the fact that you don't know the answer aren't you? (busted)

No.......you do the math.......there is no sense in it.

 

i already told you, i can't be bothered, i'm listening to Bob marley, who wan't to do math when listening to him, most people are so relaxed they can't be bothered to work out why he's talking about a Buffalo Soldier!

im guessing you dont know what a buffalo soldier.......either that or you dont know the lyrics

 

"he was a buffalo soldier, in the heart of america, stolen from Africa and brought to America" ........um, gee, I wonder what continent Bob Marley was from....

 

btw, my favorite quote of Bob Marley is "The more herb man smoke the more babylon fall" which basically means the more weed you smoke the more rascist assholes burn in hell........sweeeeeeeeet

actually i guessed that, i was just showing the fact that his music was relaxing but they also have a lot of meaning towards them. i guess 'Afroman' has the same idea about weed.

 

BTW, you were right, the problem is mathematically impossible. sorry for doubting ya!

 

see ya

why?

This isn't a mathamatical question is it? We know 6 gets the car back early, and even fixed the flat tire.

ok,, if we analyse carefully this sequence of events. we see that 6 made many errors, startin by having a friend whose name is B. first of all, every1 knows that B-6 is the unluckyest square to put a boat in, when playing battle ships. bsides, B is not a name, its either a letter or a verb, while 6 is a number, a WHOLE number, not unholy as B can b. besides, since the start, B could not C Y he should lend his car to a number, since every other character in the story is a letter.

also, if M is the same M from James Bond (which i assume it is, since hes staying at block45), 6 wasnt supposed to talk to him, cause his working as a spy, to uncover B's secret plans to kill A and become the first letter in the alphabet. Now B knows everything, and is pissed of w 6 for not telling him.

B also got pissed of because 6 got a flat tire, and no1 likes a flat tire.

He also did some bad stuff to the poor little Q: we all know that Q always needs U to help fit in. U couldnt not b there, since U N I are just one, and I never came along in thta trip. Bsides, Q is sick, and she cant eat icecream. And if M is M from James Bond, Q must b too, and if thats the case, 6 shouldnt take Q to Qs home, but to Bs home, so they can fight in peace.

 

Over all, 6 got a speed limit ticket.

 

Finally, his last error, was giving a lift to a guy that looked like this :bdroid2:

 

now they r not friends anymore, 6's new best frined is Niko, to whom he told that story not understanding anything, and now, hopefully, i understood, and by explaining everything, i may win a house to block45, because M is not living there anymore.
