Not sure if anyone watches Futurama, but the latest episode, one of the creators (who has a PhD in math) created a new theorem for the show. The problem was, when 2 people switch minds and bodies, they cannot switch directly back. So is it possible for them to use more people to get their minds back into their own bodies. When I saw that, I said outloud "my god, this is a question I'd see on the GMAT."


You can watch just that clip here:

Thought some of you would enjoy.

Pretty neat, Makushr1 - thanks for sharing!

In that same vein, is anyone reading that Steig Larsson "Millennium" trilogy? In the second book, "The Girl Who Played With Fire", each act leads with a mathematical property, and one of them prominently featured is the ever-important GMAT concept the "Difference of Squares" rule: x^2 - y^2 = (x+y)(x-y)

I was reading that on a beach last week and realized that you just can't escape the GMAT!
