FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Petey the Procrastinator" published January 25, 2015 - Paige: Peter, you had Miss Flood for geometry class, right? Peter: Yeah, why? Paige: She gave us this handout to help us prep for tomorrow's test. The first thing that's strange is there's only one problem on it. Peter: "Petey the procrastinator puts off studying and gets a zero on the first test of the spring semester." "If the test is worth 10 percent of Petey's semester grade, what must Petey's average grade for everything else be if he wants to eke out a 'B' in the class (83 percent)?" Paige: The second thing is what does this have to do with geometry? It's algebra! I think she's losing her mind! Did she do things like this when you had her? Peter: Actually, this DOES seem oddly familiar somehow...

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "The Joy of Mathing" published September 28, 2014 - Peter: Our brother is so weird. Paige: What's he doing now? Peter: He's making instructional videos of himself while he does his math homework. I guess he read something about popular YouTubers making millions of dollars. Paige: Whoa. But Math??? How can you possibly make math instruction popular??? Peter: He says he's doing them artistically or something. He was fiddling with his hair in the bathroom, so it was kinda hard to hear him. Paige: Since when does Jason care about his hair? Jason: Now, let's move this happy little decimal point over two places...

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Server Issues" published July 13, 2014 - Steve: Is something wrong? Peter: Um, yeah. This isn't the pizza I ordered. I asked for one that was 499/1000ths pepperoni and 501/1000ths mushroom. This pizza you brought us is exactly half and half! That's a whopping 0.1 percent error! Listen, I hate to make extra work for you, but if I were to slice off this excess bit of pepperoni, would it be possible to swap it for a sliver of mushroom? Warmed, of course. Steve: Seriously, Peter?!? Do you know how busy I am right now? Peter: The customer's always right...yes? Jason: He's totally going to spit on your mushroom sliver. Peter: Steve? No way! We're buddies!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Parthenotquite" published January 5, 2014 - Eileen: See? It's right here on Wikipedia. The Parthenon's columns are doric, not ionic. A good first effort, though! Marcus: I really can't believe you made this bet with her. Jason: I had an A+++++ average in math! I thought it was a sure thing!

Jason: We'll take these two. Marcus: Starting the school year with smart pencils is key. Intercom: Cleanup on aisle five...
