Aahh!!!

I love it when people get the references I never tried to make!!

Waits for noon, e?

For some reason, I read funny as furry!

He doesn't say 'give me one beating of half to death'. If he had said that then his brother would have received double i.e. two beatings of half to death.

Since, he said 'beat me half to death'. Hence, its double would be full to death.

P.S.: we both must be fun at parties!!

You are probably thinking about two half to death beatings. But that's not the essence of the joke.

So let me clear it for you. I can clear it using maths as well but for the starters let me try it using words only.

Double of half is full. So if I'm getting beaten half to death, my twin would get beaten full to death!

I hope you understand now. If you still don't, let me use maths.

Consider health of both twins(T1 &T2) to be exact same at 100.

Let us assume that it takes 50 punches to get T1's health down to 50. (Considering 100 as full health and 0 as death, 50 has to be half to death)

Now, since T2 get twice of T1, T2 would recieve 100 punches which will bring his health to 0 and hence, death!

It's 50*2.

Write that in a form of a mathematical equation.

Double of half is one.

Half of half is quarter.

For a minute, I thought I was on r/offmychest
