Clever Vandalism by Sombrero Guy

April 13th, 2008 8:17 AM / Location: 50.719640,-1.843153

INSTRUCTIONS: Vandalize cleverly. Go beyond simple graffiti and do something extra special.

A while ago, I promised that I would graffiti Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient in Bournemouth. It is most certainly clever, although very complicated.
Remembering my promise, I set off for Boscomebe pier, beneath which is a graffiti hot spot as there always are under piers, with a large lump of chalk and wrote this:

I also wrote the formula for a circle while I was there, because it was the most clever thing I could remember at the time (I was having a dull moment, obviously).


I then left the pier and my equations behind to confuse the next dull person who comes along to write the same old dull graffiti as usual.

The two closest pillars in the middle of this picture are the ones I wrote on.

I could have sworn circles were x-a and y-b, not plus.

Anyway, vote for MATHEMATICS!

What I wrote is what we were taught at school, although my Dad said that he was taught (x-a)²-(y-a)²=c or something.
I think it works out the same, anyway...
