Mathematically, how do you work out 'three quarter pace"?
Let's say (for the sake of easy calculations) your best time for an event is 1 minute. In practice, you want to go three quarter pace. So a 100% effort will result in a time of 60 seconds. A 75% effort should result in a longer time. My rudimentary maths tells me I should divide 100 by 75 and multiply the result by 60. That works out to 80 seconds, which is a minute and 20 seconds. Why does that sound much slower than what I would normally envisage three quarter pace to be? Or is my maths completely messed up?

He buys his maths supplies from the local maths supply warehouse, Maths Is Us. A rival chain, Maths R Us, was so roundly ridiculed by Europeans that it had no choice but to shut down. The former manager is in hospital.
I used to have a head for maths, but of late maths is flying out my ears. Wait, that is impossible. Maths is flying out one of my ears.
If a maths is cut in half and each piece regenerates, are you left with two mathses?
And so wiles away the waning hours of a long day spent looking at the maths in my checkbook. Given the negative numbers featured therein, the plural implications of "maths" seem particular cruel to me now. But perhaps I am being overly sensitive.
Perhaps some warm milk and a biscuit and bed, that's the ticket.
