...and Dreamers amongst us.

How to calculate an Imaginary Number, call it I.

1) State your real age, A;

2) Subtract from that an arbitrarily fanciful number of years, Fy;

3) The number you have left is Imaginary! :p:p:p

That is:

I = A - Fy

Have you tried to solve any other number puzzles, like:
Why do we sometimes feel much older than we are :umm: :confused013 :(

Anyone else know of any? :p

I suppose that simplified hypothesis may be controversial :eek:
A more text-book treatise may be had here:
