My recipe says to dice them, but my hand is getting sore drawing all the dots.

This is going over my head, I need a math tuber.
5 cubed as in 5 to the power of 3
The response is clever because to reverse it you say you're looking for the cube root of 125
Interestingly, the page says regular potatoes are stem tubers, differentiating them from and acknowledging the existence of root tubers, which includes sweet potatoes.
Yeah but normally root alone refers to the square root, so you'd still end up with just over 11 potatoes
This is where precise language is important! The recipe should have specified 5 cubic potatoes, to distinguish them from the 1-dimensional kind
The profile discrepency makes this even funnier.
Real "streets vs sheets" energy here.
Potatoes are not vegetables, they are tubers; the leafy green matter is the vegetable.
in you apply quantity calculus you can see why this argument is nothing more than a joke, became the potato is in the base of the exponent operation.
