Proof (ing) = The New Math



Most times, editing means subtraction, but in Gyllenmath it means addition and division.
Check it out:

Original Version

"Jake Gyllenhaal, enjoying a late lunch with a guy pal on the patio at Gjelina restaurant on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, Calif. The actor sipped water with lime during his quiet meal of thin-crust pizza. "It seemed like a really relaxed lunch," says an observer, noting that even ultra-trendy patrons of the hip local spot were rubbernecking for a peek at the actor. "They lingered for a while."
-- People

Revised Version
Jake Gyllenhaal, enjoying a late lunch with a guy pal on the patio at Gjelina restaurant on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, Calif. The actor sipped water with lime during a quiet lunch of thin-crust pizza which the table split. "It seemed like a really relaxed lunch," says an observer, noting that even ultra-trendy patrons of the hip local spot were rubbernecking for a peek at the actor. "They lingered for a while." -- People



Now what's math class without a word problem.

People writes two blurbs about two pals having one late lunch on Gjelina's patio on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice which 3.43 miles from Ocean Drive in Santa Monica . If one sipped water with lime and both lingered, what do the four new words mean?



Extra Credit:

Jake is driving traveling at 39 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone. He is followed by 5 paparazzi traveling at 37 miles per hour. Jake accelerates to 43 miles an hour and flags down a police officer 3.5 seconds ahead of the paparazzi. How many people where in the car?


(Please don't mock or throw things if the actual mathematics don't work, I was a liberal arts major for a reason people. I was breaking out in a cold sweat just trying to make up "made up word problems.")


More Notes from a Small World
Something about Gjelina : Many diners mention and compare the restaurant to Pizzeria Mozza. Who likes Mozza and hangs in Santa Monica?
