JENNR8R 0 #5 January 23, 2007 Is that a math problem that asks something like if Train A left Dayton at 10:30 a.m. and Train B left Sacramento at 3:00 p.m. What was your bus drivers name when you were in the third grade?What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.

NWFlyer 2 #6 January 23, 2007 QuoteSeriously, I really don't know what you mean by "story problem". What is it? Walt Walt's large turd was 3 times the size of his small turd. His small turd was half the size of his medium turd. If his medium turd was four inches, how long were his small turd and large turd? Something like that.

Yeah, ok. large_turd = 3 * small_turd small_turd = (1/2)*medium_turd medium_turd = 4 in. small_turd = 2 in. large_turd = 6 in. In the real world, though, 6 in. is not a very large turd.
