Two Question Tuesday - 9/27/11

Two Question Tuesday – 9/27/11

Here's the deal - I really liked Mama M.'s Five Question Friday - but that's just too many questions for me.  So I'm going to do my version - and without the linky thingy.

I'll ask two questions and then give you my answers.  If you want to play - you can give me your answers in the comment section.  If you have a blog and would rather answer them there - just leave a link to your blog instead. I don't know how to do the "Linky" thing like Mama M. yet - and to be honest - I would rather sew than find out - so I'll do it this way until I figure it out.

Two questions for you this Tuesday -

1.  Are you math-challenged?

2.  WARNING - This next question is a math problem - but please keep reading if you want to see/hear Grandson #3's answer.  ;))

If a bat and a ball together cost $1.10 and the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball – how much does the ball cost?

==========

1.  Are you math-challenged?
Not at all.  I LOVE MATH.  I think that there’s just something magical about numbers and how they work - they fascinate me.

2.  If a bat and a ball together cost $1.10 and the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball – how much does the ball cost?

Just so you know – I got it WRONG -
My brain instantly said – TEN CENTS -
It’s NOT ten cents.
That would make the bat cost $1.10 all by itself - 
and the bat and ball TOGETHER cost $1.10.
So it's NOT ten cents.

Again – just for fun –

I asked Grandsons #1 - #2 - and #3 what they thought the answer was -

#1 and #2 each thought the ball cost ten cents – same as me - 

#3 agreed – then said, “Plus tax!”

I laughed so hard - I damn near fell off my chair! 

As you already know -

#3’s brain doesn’t work quite the same as the rest of us –  ;))

I really can’t wait to see who/what he grows up to be!!

OK - your turn.



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

P.S.  BOB will tell you the answer - here - if you want to know or even care.
