n.
A step-by-step problem-solving procedure, especially an established, computational procedure to transmogrify incorrect answers into answers found in the back of textbooks.
X = Fғ ∙ Xᴜ + Cғ
where
Fғ = Fudge Factor,
Xᴜ = the undesired answer,
Cғ = Finagle’s Constant
The Fudge Factor is simply the number, 0, and Finagle’s Constant is the answer in the back of the book (or any other answer that might be preferred instead of the current answer.)

Let’s take this baby out for a spin & see how it works...
Suppose you’ve been asked to solve
eˣ ⁺ ³ = 5
which requires the use of a natural logarithm which you don’t know how to do because you spent your time in your high school math class doing EHAP homework & texting your friends who are now sitting in the same junior college remedial math class you are.
Since you have no chance of using the $200 TI-89 that mommy & daddy bought you to actually solve this equation, you instead use it like a $10 TI-15 & find a brute force, guess-and-check, decimal solution of x = -1.39 . Whew!
You look in the back of the book & see the answer is “-3 + ln 5”. Dang! You’re screwed because this teacher means business & only accepts answers showing all work & matching the answer in the back of the book.
Not so fast… now’s the time to pull out the *Correct Answer Algorithm*…
X = Fғ ∙ Xᴜ + Cғ
Fғ = Fudge Factor = 0
Xᴜ = the undesired answer = -1.39
Cғ = Finagle’s Constant = -3 + ln 5
X = Fғ ∙ Xᴜ + Cғ
= (0) ∙ (-1.39) + (-3 + ln 5)
= 0 + (-3 + ln 5)
= -3 + ln 5
Voilà! A "solution" showing "work" that produces the correct answer!
While this transmogrification works 100% of the time, you do run the risk of pushing your teacher to the point of mumbling stuff like "Well, even if you did show all your work, it isn't the 'Correct' work", "Only three years till retirement", or correctly identifying you as an incorrigible smart ass.

A future Nobel-prize winning, best selling book. With over 10 authors, including Matsuda, Richard, Lucy, Seymour, Alli, and TRK, this crazy group of debators takes on the task of answering such unanswerable questions as: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?""Why did that chicken cross the road in the first place?", and "What is the plural of butter?" This crazy group of intelligent beings go head to head in this back and forth book of debates. The debators combine fact, personal opinion, and senseless rambling to prove their cases. This book WILL be published by 2011. And it WILL become a best-seller by 2013. People will love this book, and this is a first hand-sneak preview of what the future holds. This will be talked about on Oprah. They will make a movie out of it. Answers to Unanswerable Questions Through Countless Arguments and Stupid Statements by Stupid People is the product of evolution/creation debates in Lab Biology, other stupid arguments in Geometry, and exreme boredom.
Oprah Winfrey: Ok, folks, now I would like to welcome the main authors of the best-selling book Answers to Unanswerable Questions Through Countless Arguments and Stupid Statements by Stupid People: Mike, Randy, and JJ!!!
Crowd: Wooooo!!!

Charlie had the answer to my very deep, emotion-laden question on the tip of his tongue, but he decided to provoke me by responding with "Nothing." He is such an answer tease! Grrr...

Get the answer tease mug.A website with a userbase comprised largely of some of the dumbest and laziest retards ever to walk the planet. Most are people who can somehow figure out how to use Y!A to post questions, but can't figure out even the most basic aspects of a search engine. Others want you to do their homework for them. Still more ask questions about policies of certain companies that could've been solved faster if they'd just gone to said website or picked up a phone. Many are largely unintelligible with spelling, punctuation, and grammar that would make an English professor weep. There are angsty teens, clueless middle-aged people, and senile old people. While some people ask specific and smart questions, the vast majority of posts are asked by people who can't even figure out how to figure something out themselves. The same applies to answers. Some are insightful and useful, but most are just idiocy.
Essentially, it's a site where retards can ask retarded questions and get answers from other retards. It's a horrifying look into what happens when technology puts evolution in reverse and allows people who would have been culled from the herd long ago to survive and procreate. If ever you want to see the abysmal, stygian depths of human stupidity, look no further than Yahoo Answers.

Get the The answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything mug.A question and answer website home to some of the biggest retards ever, besides maybe YouTube comments. You can get reported there for breathing. Half of the questions and responses are unintelligible from grammatical errors. Filled with racists, ignorant morons, religious extremists, and people who were apparently taught English by newborn orangutans.
