antony1969 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 After a viscous attack at a Canvey Island School where one pupil suffered eye injuries the school has seen sense and banned ( not before time ) the deadly weapons that caused the injury . Teachers and governors took the drastic step to ban triangle shaped flapjacks and now only have square pieces on school property . Well done to all of those involved in this decision and in doing so no way means you have far too much time on your hands . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 47 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 It clearly wasn't Maths teachers who made the decision - with four corners there is 33% more chance of injury. Any fool knows they ought to have ordered round flapjacks (lol) PS It's a good job they haven't seen my wife's custard - now that really is lethal!

Dave Oh dear....... jokes tend not to be funny if you have to explain them (lol) But here goes..................Triangles have three corners. If you add one to make the figure a square that is an increase of one over three, or 33.33%. Funnily enough, though, if you them remove one from that square to turn it back into a triangle, then that is indeed a reduction of one over four, or 25%. Anybody still awake?

Surely you must realise that it is Society's job to make sure that the objects are not potential harmful. The taxpayer funds the wonderful people that police the dangerous world of cake fighting. As for the suggestion by others that round FlapJacks only should be used this is also inappropriate as a thin oven hardened flapjack can be used as an effective and lethal Frisbee.
