Why was I not surprised you got this one Laughing Laughing Laughing

I haven't had time to look at everyone's contributions Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad
I found this though and I thought it was cute:

Fifty Ways to Work A Problem

new lyrics by Lawrence Mark Lesser
may be sung to the tune of "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover," by Paul Simon
in The Mathematics Teacher May 2000

Real-life problems are open-ended, typic'ly,
But we can solve them with some strategy.
With the tools and rules between you and me,
There must be fifty ways to work a problem.

We'll divide and conquer till we cut it down to size;
We'll make a model and visualize.
We'll use computers when it seems wise-
There must be fifty ways to work a problem!

Chorus:
Just say what's known, Joan,
and what's to find, Caroline.
What rings a bell, Nell,
to what we've done?
Make a plan, Stan, follow it through, Sue,
Try to extend, Ken, and we'll be done!

Sometimes the key is askin' what something means;
Sometimes analogies or an inductive scheme
-- Sometimes on our own, sometimes in a team,
There must be fifty ways to work a problem.
We'll explore the context, then try a guess-
If our first try won't fly, we won't get depressed,
We'll find a way that works,
there may not be one that's "best"
Of the fifty ways to work a problem!

(Repeat chorus twice)

Sorry about yesterday; the Friday Try guy failed to show. The w/e Try guy might not be so freeking amusing, but at least he doesn't swear.
He will be with you after these messagesÂ…


Mark:

LUBE JOB
$17.50 Cool Cool


Let x = amount of money in the drawer at the start of the day.

After the first customer, there is 2x - 20 dollars in the drawer.

After the second customer, there is 2 (2x - 20) - 20 dollars left,
or 4x - 60 dollars.

After the third customer, there is 2 (4x - 60) - 20 dollars left,
or 8x - 140 dollars.

Set 8x - 140 = 0 and solve for x:
x = 17.50


Tdesitaedte = died intestate Cool



What a great number of wordie things. You should put it in a book.
IMO this one was a gem amongst many jewels :
