Leonhard Euler
1707-1783 Switzerland, Russia, and Prussia Famous for Eulers Formula, which defines the relationship between trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function: = +

Im innocent !

Pythagoras of Samos

570BC - 495BC Samos, Egypt, Greece, Croton Famous for the Pythagorean Theorem, which defines the relationship of the three sides of three sides of a triangle: + =

This wont add up to me!

Rene Descartes
1596-1650 France, Dutch Republic Famous for notating unknowns a x,y, and z and knowns as a, b and c; also, Descartes Rule of Signs, which determines the number of positive or negative roots of a polynomial

Youll have zero evidence for me!

Euclid of Alexandria
Flourished in 300BC Greece, Egypt Famous for being on of the founders of geometry: Euclidean Planes, Euclidean Geometry, Euclidean Algorithm, Euclids Orchard, Euclids Formula (for Pythagorean triplets), and more (full list:

Find the length of x:

d=10 50 x

Turkey: 31.415, I love pi. Yum Mathed Potatoes: 0.70? Is that right? Green Beans: 2.18, Im pretty sure Onion Rings: 4.36 sounds about right

What area of yams is showing if each marshmallow is 0.5 in radius?

7

16

Turkey: 343.21, but who cares about yams? Mathed Potatoes: 8.64, marshmallows are
great!

Green Beans: 351.86 is the right answer Onion Rings: 360.50 is the area of visible
yams

What is this number?

Turkey: 1,673,052,179 Mathed Potatoes: 9,712,503,761 Green Beans: 1,233,012,135 Onion Rings: 5,312,103,321

A cranberry sauce cylinder has a circumference of 8 and a volume of 96 . What is the height?
Euler: 8, duh. How could you think otherwise? Pythagoras: 4! Its 4! Descartes: Beyond a doubt, the answer is 12 Pascal: 6, of course

Euler: Um, lets see 16 Pythagoras: Maybe 136? Descartes: 256, 16^2 right? Pascal: 4096, without a doubt

At a restaurant, you get free refills on eggnog for Thanksgiving. The drink sizes are 16oz, 24oz, and 32oz. Which size would you order to get the most eggnog?
Euler: It doesnt matter; they all get equal
eggnog

Pythagoras: Im going to go with the middle. Descartes: Clearly the 32oz gives the most Pascal: The smallest cup, 16oz.
