Becket Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 You guys are serious! And I'm flashing back to ninth grade where there is a test with word problems! In Algebra! The panic I felt was worse than Mama leaving me in the Kmart by myself when I was five. Just went next door for a moment. Left me with the manager. I thought I had been sold off! The best thing about being in your sixties is that they promised me I never have to see, or do, a word problems ever again. Until today. My therapist will be sending you the bill. HORRIBLE!!!! + MysticMenace and samhexum 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wan't bad at math by any stretch, but it wasn't my favourite or best subject. It is the one subject that I still periodically have nightmares about all these many years later. Always a relief to wake up from those! Becket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made it just before me because I had to take the time to change the color of my answer to match the numbers in the problem. The price of being an empath, I guess... + MysticMenace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ MysticMenace Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 I actually don't know the answer to what I posted. I first got 40 like @MikeBiDude, and I tried other patterns and got 96 like @samhexum and @azdr0710, but I also got 32. MikeBiDude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
