Wow. This is what it says. "It took Marie 10 minutes to cut a board into 2 pieces." Tell me how many cuts it would take "to cut a board into 2 pieces." A picture to help you visualize... Spoiler
<br> That's exactly it, and I think that's the truly worrying part of all of this. The fact that the teacher was unable to produce a problem that would be able to ask the question that was in mind is absolutely ridiculous. <br> That's definitely true. Basically the student was punished for actually reading the problem...
^^ Exactly...and the fact that the teacher failed to realize this AFTER being presented with the correct answer is even more troubling.
Yeah, so pretty much, there is "fail" all over this thread. Teacher, reading comprehension, the English language, CF.net members, etc... Oh well, F education...I gotta get back to my Halo Reach Team Slayer match...
I don't think a teacher produced that problem at all, it seems like some junk that is certified for all students. The answer in the key was probably 15.. I wouldn't blame the teacher for making the question, but I would blame her for her horrible explanation. Throwing the question out of the test I completely agree with, dumb question is dumb.
<br> Rez you must tell me, should I buy Reach so we can pwn nubs now or should we just wait for Black Ops?
I think probably just wait another month bro...Reach is a fun game, but with Black Ops right around the corner, just get ready to tear that up. We'll make kids cry.
Bonus Question: It took Marie 9 months to gestate twins. If she works just as fast, how long will it take her to gestate triplets?
The question is a trick question. Maybe it could be worded better but I don't really see much wrong with it, I would of also said 20 min, not 15. Regardless, why is this still being discussed. This should have ended back in post 3 or 4 lol.
what's so complicated? cutting apiece of wood that's half the size of the original piece should take half as long right?
