Rebus Equation Perhaps?
WARNING: SOME BASIC MATH RULES REQUIRED TO SOLVE THIS REBUS. THE HINT WILL GIVE THESE RULES IF NEEDED
The following is a Rebus Equation, where one side is a Letter Equation and the other is a Rebus. Can you decipher the phrase?
The L OF M = (Satan + Sin + Immorality + Impiety + Vice + Cruelty... ) ^ 1/2
The following is a Rebus Equation, where one side is a Letter Equation and the other is a Rebus. Can you decipher the phrase?
The L OF M = (Satan + Sin + Immorality + Impiety + Vice + Cruelty... ) ^ 1/2
Hint
If you raise anything to the power of 1/2 you are taking the square root of it.Answer
The Love of Money is the Root of all Evil.The L of M is "The Love of Money". Satan + Sin + Immorality etc etc represent "all evil". These are raised to the power of 1/2 which is equal to square rooting it. And since the "=" is the equivalent of "is" in words, The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil comes about.

Nice.
A nice touch combining the language puzzle of a Rebus with mathematical concepts. I really liked it!
haha very funny. j.k. it was a cool teaser.
very good. some insist that LACK of money is worse. LOL.
thanx grip!
nice teaser!
glad you found your roots
GOOD ONE!
Don't mean to be pedantic but impiety isn't necessarily evil.

So close, yet so far... I figured out "The L of M is the Root of Evil". I guess I love my money too much to figure it out (not that I am rich).
nice one. i got tne root part without the hint but never coorelated satan, sin.. to evil :-(
Nice one! That was fun.
Deep.
WHAT??? AM I THE ONLY ONE SO FAR TO COME OUT AND SAY ...DUH...???? TALK ABOUT TUFF ONES.... PLUS ITS FRIDAY... FRIDAY THE 13TH NO LESS.... ITS OFFICIAL - IM A DUMMY.... I DIDNT GET IT AT ALL... KUDOS TO ALL YALL WHO DID.... BRING ON THE WORDS LEAVE OUT THE NUMBERS.. IVE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT MATH....LOL, HA HAH LATER GATORS, KITTY (A TRUE BLONDE)
You are not alone Kitty. I only fitured it out by shear chance.
STUPID
I did not get it either. I couldn't figure out what "L of M" was suppose to be.
I liked it though. Very good job!!
I liked it though. Very good job!!
didn't bother trying...no way I could have gotten that
Great teaser ...and oh so true!
Excellent teaser!!!
Even though I didn't get it I appreciate the fact that you did a very good job coming up with it. My brain just doesn't work that way!
Good one though!
Good one though!
whoa. i got the l n the m but i was not able to put the last part together. this was a great head scratcher.
Ditto doehead's comment
Good Job!
Haha, got the root of all evil part, but not the love of money. Good one!
cool teaser good work
Real cute. I enjoyed it!
I got 1/2 of the equation but i didn't get the square root part
o well
great teaser though
o well
great teaser though
Loved it!
Cute & clever! Got the love of money immediately and the clue gave me the rest. I seldom do this well on a rebus or math category...maybe the combo works for me..
awesome!
haha funny
I arrived at an almost answer, I knew what it was but didn't get the = is "s" part( just guessed ) "Root" of all Evil. I found it a fun one for Friday l3th . Sorry if you're supersticious !!
I'm finally getting to this on the 14th so that's why I didn't get it. Friday the 13th is my lucky day but since I didn't get this until the next day, I blew it. But you did a good job.
(1/2) needs to be in parentheses because x^1/2 = (x^1)/2 or one half of x, but you mean the square root of x, which is actually x^(1/2). The way it is written, the teaser is actually incorrect. My correction was rejected though.
On a brighter note, I really enjoyed this teaser.

I loved the concept - but was unable to execute! Very difficult. Thank you.
rofl, that the correction of having the 1/2 in brackets wasn't accepted! oh well
Neat teaser. I actually got a rebus~!! Maybe because it had mathiness to it..
