It reminds me of that joke about engineers: an engineer is someone who will assume that a horse is a sphere to make the math easier.Eight is a numerical value, not a variable. You can't apply limit theory to it. Eight will never approach nine, because it's a set number, whereas a variable could approach nine, because its value is not preordained. You can only find the limit of f(x) as x approaches a certain value, given that a variable x exists to begin with. If there is only a set number, then there is no limit, the number is set. There are infinite degrees of freedom with a single variable, with a number there are zero, so you can't say find the limit of 8 as it approaches 9, since it will never approach 9.
Maybe that over-complicates it.
Absolute genius, I agree - but one particular has been left un-dealt-with: Urinal height.Discussion question: This is obviously a male-specific issue. Can you think of any female-specific experiences that could benefit from some mathematical analysis, experiences which — being a dude — I might be unfamiliar with? Alignments of periods with sequences of holidays? The patterns to those playground clapping rhymes? Whatever it is that goes on at slumber parties? Post your suggestions in the comments!
Edit: The protocol may not be international, but I’m calling it that anyway for acronym reasons.

He's left more than that undealt-with, but rather than take this thread off-topic, I've given my objections here.Absolute genius, I agree - but one particular has been left un-dealt-with: Urinal height.
A farmer is having problems with his chickens. They are all suddenly getting very sick and he doesn't know what is wrong with them. After trying all conventional means, he calls a biologist, a chemist, and a physicist to see if they can figure out what is wrong. The biologist looks at the chickens, examines them a bit, and says he has no clue what could be wrong with them. Then the chemist takes some tests and makes some measurements, but he can't come to any conclusions either. So the physicist tries. He stands there and looks at the chickens for a long time without touching them or anything. All of the sudden, he starts scribbling away in a notebook. After several gruesome calculations, he exclaims, "I've got it! But it only works for spherical chickens in a vacuum."
