5 * 7 = 35 = 11

I feel a fool, but I can't wrap my head around this right now. can someone please explain?

Where did the 11 come from?

>> No.5577353

modulo 12

>> No.5577354

It's true, mod 12.

>> No.5577368

It's 11 on a clock
35 means two full 12 spins = 24
35-24=11
So it's eleven.

Is that some sort of logic puzzle or something?

If you're told that you're working mod 12, it's just modular arithmetic. Otherwise, someone's just being a douche.

Nahh from what I've been told it's a way of counting someone once thought off, don't see the point myself. If someone uses 5 * 7 = 35 = 11 as a puzzle it seems like a pretty lame one.

No, he means "the english language" as the three words to choose from. The rest of the sentence is a distraction. It's poorly worded and an bad way to communicate, which is why the other guy cuts his hand off.

>The rest of the sentence is a distraction

The rest of the sentence cannot be seen as an independent structure. "... three words ... that ..."

>> No.5577510

>>5577488
I think he meant the next sentence, ie. "Two of them are..."

>> No.5577528

>>5577488
Exactly. That's why the other person cuts off his hand as says that communicating poorly is not cleverness.

The guy telling the joke is murdering the Queen's English, as it were.

this reminds me of high-school where at one time it was popular to ask people (translating) "Where were you?" it doesnt work in english but in my language "were" and "wash" are the same word, and the grammer works, but the sentice can then mean "Where do you wash?" so if someone asks you it at school of cource you are going to assume that they are asking "Where were you?" and you would anser something like "When?". then they would laugh and tell you wat? i wash in a bath.". it was so annoying being asked it 10 times a day by retards thinking they can continue to ask everyone in school and people wont catch on.
