How many centipedes does the Knight gain in Blitz and in Rapid?

Okay, so 6 score and 5 eighteenths of a gross is 125/18 OF 144

144/(125/18)

And that would be what... about 20.7 thousandths of an inch in one thousandth of a meter? I think there should be almost twice that many. If I remember correctly there are almost 40 inches in a meter... 39.3?

Edit: 39.3701 inches = one meter

No.
(125/18) of 144

= (125/18) * 144

= 1000

It started as a joke - I didn't realise it needed that much explaining!

I know it's a joke, but sometimes I still need to have everything explained to me. I have a slight touch of aspergers and it acts up from time to time.

If "of" means *, then what does * mean? I thought "of" meant divided into.

half of six is 3 isn't it?

half divided into six is 12.

half multiplied (*) by six is 3.
