I originally got the "a dozen, a gross and a score" but the rest evaded me until Wade showed how to read the rest of the denominator. The equation is incorrect anyway,
Nope, the math is right.

The square root of 4 is 2, so 3 x 2 is 6.

So 12 + 144 + 20 + 6 = 182

182 / 7 = 26 and then 5 x 11 = 55

26 + 55 = 81 = 9 x 9

-----------

So the 2 short lines of the limerick read... come on guys...
