I'm curious if anyone noticed the name of my paper.

As we all know the best jokes require long and tedious explanations so here goes:

You have your times tables (1x1=1,2x1=2 etc etc) and sometimes they're called multiplications tables. Your multiplications are when you times two numbers together. Now, my name is 6times5is30 so that's how that's relevant.

The joke is, "Times" could mean multiplying numbers OR it could just be part of the title of a newspaper eg. The sunday times.

So there you go, aren't we all better for having that one spelled out?

'Cheerio
