ZigZagMarquis 9 #27 September 28, 2009 Maybe it would have went better for Nick if the question would have been phrased like, "If Nick can drink a case of beer in 4 hours and Bob can drink a case of beer in 6 hours, how long would a case of beer last Nick and Bob?" Of course, they probably would have rather solved the problem via experiment, as opposed to mathimatically. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
