When you have no idea how to work out a problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around evaluating the expression y = sin(x)/n for n = 3 and x = 3. Participants engage in a mix of serious evaluation and humor, with one contributor jokingly manipulating the equation to suggest y = 6. However, another participant corrects this by stating that since π is approximately 3, the expression actually evaluates to 0. The conversation highlights the importance of maintaining focus on academic discussions in the homework section, with a reminder to keep jokes in designated areas.

E hehe nice joke but this seems to be intended for the general discussion/jokes section. I think some moderators though they might find this funny, won't be very happy that you post it here.
 
Wrong. Since ##\pi=3##, the expression evaluates to 0.
 
@docnet, please don't post any more of these groaners in the homework sections...
 
Yes, we already have a thread Bad Math Jokes. That's the place for them.
