Puzzle Description:

Saw a picture with some math equations that represented movie titles and the movie title series and thought why not. Answer in the comments.

Cool puzzle Mallory,i just noticed your name(goalie-31),are you a goalie?,or is it perhaps you have a favourite player that is a goalie who wears #31? What a coincidence,please check out my recent puzzle #17845,maybe he's the one?

Thanks. I am a goalie, and have had the number 31 on my back for about 12 years now. I did choose the number based on my favorite goalie which I've based a few puzzles of my own on (#8525, #8559, and #8698). I will definitely check out your puzzle though!

Hi Mallory...help me out here...I'm not understanding how this represents "Mean Girls". One of my daughters is on a hockey team and she love to play! She had never played hockey until she went north to college.

I don't get it either JoDeen. My youngest granddaughter has been playing hockey since she was old enough to stand up on skates. She sometimes gets called up to a higher level for an extra game and I have seen her play back to back games with no break. Love to watch her - she plays defence and wears Bobby Orr's number 4.

(1/n)*(SUM(girl) from i=1 to n)

=(1/n)*(girl,1 + girl,2 + ... + girl,n)

= mean girls (mean = average)

I'm guessing this isn't really an explanation unless you understand the math behind it. I'm currently taking a third year partial differential calculus coarse at university for engineering. Sadly, I wish this is still the kind of equations I had to solve.
