Does that effect the answer, Gordy?

And even a thread on a simple maths question is turned racist by the usual suspects.

I suspect it's because they don't know the answer .. or in Grappler's case, understand the question.

I really don;t know how i could have made it simpler.


Why are you asking a question on 6th grade maths?

Do you know how to use a calculator?

Maybe an Abacus would be more suitable for an old Boomer like you

According to Lisa Jones, it's year 12 maths.

I used 6th grade maths but got a different answer to her.

What answer did you get?

Grappler, you don't need to know the overall population at any point to work out the answer.

It has no bearing on the answer.

Christ on a bike!



Read back as you were instructed to do.... what about births and deaths.... population has many variables ...


Jesus. It's a straight forward question. There are no tricks.

How many people overall moved out?

If you don't know how to work it out there's nothing to be ashamed of .. just for crying out loud, keep your head below the bunker.


That's not what was asked:-

"If 23,858 people move into a city yet 31,726 leave, by how many  people is that city down on overall?"

The question was - by how many people is that city down on overall - I repeat - without consideration of  births and deaths we cannot know. It's not like adding neutered Abos to a reservation and taking a few away, you know.... not as clear cut as that ...... taking ten Abos into custody and doing away with four... you know... not that simple...

Obviously if the 23,858 people who move in are muslims or Africans, it will create a large amount of white flight so way more than 31,726 will move out.

Oh whatever you old pedant. I said no trick questions. It was straightforward, you're just deflecting because you don't know how to work out the answer.

Yet they didn't.

Can't work out the answer either, Gordy?

Nothing pedantic about it.... it's not like taking fifty Abo perps into custody and somehow losing ten... not as simple as that. would you like your pizza in eight slices or twelve, or can you only eat eight?

The question needs to state clearly the parameters or it is void..... just like any idea of a Voice.... silly idea, but still... we have to put it to bed somehow....

You know the parameters now, not that they were unclear.

Can you answer?

I think not.

If 23,858 people move into a city yet 31,726 leave, by how many  people is that city down on overall?

Is it:

a) 55,584   

b)  7,868

c)  Something else


Please tell us how you arrived at your answer.


Well, if you take 23,858 Abos into custody in the NT, and 31,726 are released on bail...by how many Abos is your prison population down overall?

Are they all in the same city?  Without parameters..... you know.... been over the Voice without parameters clearly laid down and indestructible... you know - no parliament may alter from time to time..... as it suits them only..... and without influence on ministers direct....

Coming from a supporter of FutureTheLeftWanks with his vile antics, something for which you have lost any entitlement to respect - that is high praise..... youcan always apologise for supporting that prick with his vile ageism, racism, genderism and generationalism...

Might  get some badges made... Proud Racist Courtesy Of Mothra

Um... is this a trick question?

If 31,726 people leave the city, as cited, then the answer is in the question.

IE:  31,726
