conkers maths ... one for the boys

[joggerjayne]

If my conkers is a 3er

And yours is a 2er

And I smash your conker ...

Is mine a 6er ?

[redman41]

My Conker is bigger than yours !! He He

[joggerjayne]

Thank you, Redman.

That's the sort of hilarious gag that makes me glad I was at an all girls school.

Hello JJ....How's sunny Brighton !

[joggerjayne]

Brighton isn't very sunny today, redman.

... made all the gloomier bygetting a stuffing from Leeds Utd yesterday.

Do you go to the Home Games JJ ? ....Was not a good day for the Seagulls Yesterday !!

JJ, in my younger days that would have been a fiver, the oppositions conker would have been added,not multiplied by.

[joggerjayne]

One of my gal pals and I go to quite a few home games, redman.

We go out for lunch in the town, cane a few bottles of wine, and then go to the game, and then on to a Bar afterwards.

Yes, yesterday was bad. We cheered as loud as we could, but Leeds are about fifty points clear at the top, so we didn't really expect much of a result.

Last season, we went to one away game, at Bristol.

Yaayyy ... Vulcan ... a real answer.

So here's the dilemma.

If a two'er beats another two'er ... shouldn't it be a five'r ?

[joggerjayne]

BanGrubby ...

Was that post meant to be on a different thread?

[vulcan]

No JJ, 2 + 2 =4, so it would be a four-er.
[this was in the south of England,perhaps there are different rules elsewhere].

you can play conkers on line without breaking your fingers.

Vulcan ...

If you have a brand new conker ... unblooded ... a "Nought'er"

And I beat you with my Two'er ...

Do I stay a Two'er ?

2 + 0 = 2

[joggerjayne]

If a group of boys meet up with all their new conkers ...

... all "Nought'ers"

And they have a tournament ...

Will the winning conker, that beats all the others, still be a "Nought'er" ?

Game 1. 0+0 = 0

Game 2. 0+0 = 0

Etc ...

[joggerjayne]

Or does the winner of 2 new conkers become a One'er ?

0 + 0 = 1

?????????????

[joggerjayne]

The maths only works if the winner gets a point for winning the fight,

PLUS ... inherits the accumulated points of the other conker.

So ..

A 2er beating a 0er becomes a 3er

A 2er beating a 0er becomes a 3er

A 2er beating a 1er becomes a 4er

A 2er beating a 2er becomes a 5er

A 2er beating a 3er becomes a 6er

Etc ...
