Simpsons: Bart the GeniousSimpsons: Bart the Genious When Bart doesn’t have a ticket
and asks how much it will be Martin replies, “Twice the fare from Tucson to Flagstaff minus two-thirds of the fare from Albuquerque to El Paso! Ha ha ha ha!”
One child genius says “Tell you what, Bart, Ill trade you the weight of a bowling ball on the eighth moon of Jupiter for my lunch, for the weight of a feather on the second moon of Neptune from your lunch. ”
A gifted child tells Bart that he will trade him 1000 Pico liters of his milk for 4 gills of Bart’s.

Professor Lombardo, Marge's art teacher comes up to her during class
“You learn to see everyday objects as a simple grouping of geometric shapes. Here we see how two concentric circles, various trapezoids, ellipses and, yes, even a rhombus, can create an adorable little bunny rabbit.”

Homer finds glasses in the toilet and tries to act smart in front of the mirror
Homer: “The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side.”
Man in stall: “That’s a right triangle, you idiot!

Poem on the number square root of three and roots
Kumar uses it to get the love of his life to marry him
The Poem consists of rules in rooting numbers and properties of the square root of three

PoemPoem I’m sure that I will always be a lonely number like root
three The three is all that’s good and right,Why must my three
keep out of sight, Beneath the vicious square root sign,I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,with just some quick arithmetic
I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321. Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see, Another square root of a threeAs quietly co-waltzing by, Together now we multiply, to form a number we prefer, Rejoicing as an integer
