Was it a special o-cajun ? If so, maybe someone can bayou some more veggies to jazz it up.

It's something like squash, with snot.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Yup, that's for the "do not buy" list.

Actually more closely resembles a frying pepper or chilli pepper, usually green, and yes . . . it produces snot when boiled . . . a whole damn pot of boiling snot.

Done some googling, and the stuff is even popular?

It can be awesome, my wife's aunt makes a Greek baked okra dish that's fantastic. Deep fried is also fine table fare along side some good BBQ.

I take the BBQ.
..but not desperate enough for Okra.

All you need to do is think of "Escargot" and suddenly Okra sounds more like mannah.

My teacher asked me to write a program on the board and solve it. I wrote:
230 - 220 x 0.5 and announced that the answer was 5!
My teacher claimed I was incorrect, but I was not.
Can you please explain it to him?
Thanks
Hint: My teacher was quite embarrassed when I actually said the answer out loud.

Explain what to him? You are wrong.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|
|
|

That's what he thought, too, until I actually said the answer out loud. Then he was quite embarassed.
Obviously, this is a puzzle with a correct solution and not a real life experience.

You must have said "five factorial".
|
|
|
|
|

"5 factorial" is not a solution; it is simply representing the answer (120) as a different equation. If you were set a problem in a mathematics test
300 - 0.5 x 150
and answered that it is 450 / 2, the teacher would be justified in marking it incomplete because it has not been reduced to the simplest terms.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

My college math professor always told us to leave the simplification to the accountants, at least when it came to tests. No time for that.
He was a great person. He later became the grad student ombudsman after putting up with us (rowdy undergrads) for three straight semesters!

I thought about that...but who provides answers as a factorial?
|
|
|
|
|
I think it was meant as a riddle rather than something that actually happened.

Sometimes I'm just being a little bit too literal.
Daniel's answer above suggests we're both on the same page on this one.

Yeah, you're both on the AR page.

A statisticus / mathematician will provide answers as factorial as often numbers are too big to write down.
E.g. 5! is quite easy but 7000000000! is huge. Assuming the world population is 7000000000, 7000000000! is approximately the number of ways you can put their names in a list. As there are people with the same name the number is actually less but still huge.
There are even statistic problems where numbers like n!! (n factorial factorial *) are used which can be even "bigger than huge".
*) besides "n factorial factorial", there exist "n double factorial" which is n x (n-2) x (n-4) ... x 1)
