If a train leaves Miami, Florida traveling to Ecuador an average speed of 55mph, and an another train leaves Chicago with an average speed of 56.317mph, which train will arrive at the pineapple plantation on Oahu first?

These “word” problems drive me crazy.;-)

Have a great Sunday!

> Let A = any arbitrary number
> Let B = A the same number
> multiply both sides by the same quantity, A
> AB = A^2
> Subtract B^2 from both sides
> AB-B^2 = A^2 - B^2
> factor each side
> B(A-B) = (A+B)(A-B)
> divide out the common term
> B = (A+B)
> Substitute using original identity A=B
> B =2B
> Divide out the B
> 1 = 2
> Q.E.D.

> I still remember this one and didn't have to look anything up.

your formula diverges from logic at "factor each side"

B(A-B) = 0

Pick any number from 1-9.

Multiply by 3.

Add 3.

Multiply by 3 again.

Now add the two digits of your answer together.

Using that last number, you will find your predicted favorite movie in the list of 18 movies below.

Movie List:

1. Gone With The Wind

2. E.T.

3. Blazing Saddles
