Quality Engineer Math
A Quality Engineer goes in to apply for a job at Wal Mart after being laid off due to downsizing, but the manager won't hire him until he passes a little math test.
"Here's your first question," the manager said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Without numbers?" the QE says, "Dat's easy." And he proceeds to draw three trees.
"What's this?" the manager asks.
"Ain't you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine," says the QE .
"Fair enough," says the manager. "Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99."
The QE stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree "Ere ya go."
The manager scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?"
"Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat's 99."
The manager is now getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire this QE , so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100."
The QE stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Ere ya go. One hundert."
The manager looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!"
(You're going to love this one!!!)
The QE leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and says, "A little dog came long and pooped by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, dat makes one hundert. So, when I start?"
