New Math=The Debil

Problem 1.

Game B starts at 4:00. Game A starts at 5:00. How much hair will the Parents of Children A & B pull out while attempting to make it to both games?

Problem 2.

Chelle needs to make Gatorade Knox Blox for 42 volleyball players and 31 football players. The recipe calls for 6 cups of Gatorade. The recipe will need to be quadrupled to make enough Knox Blox. How many children will complain about the Knox Blox being fruit flavored instead of (insert flavor here)?

Problem 3.

The Teenager needs a dress for Homecoming. Dress A costs $98. Dress B costs $198. Dress A must be ordered online for an additional shipping cost of $12. Dress B costs $198 but is available locally. How many additional dollars will Chelle have to pay in probable marriage counseling if she caves in and purchases Dress B?

Math is hard.

  1. The math isn't so hard. The answer to each question can be summed up in 3 words - "All of them". It's accepting the answers that sucks.

    Glad to not be you this weekend!
