18 GREEN APPLES AND 90 RED APPLES equals 1/? GREEN APPLES ? = 3.14 because that's too many apples for a pi. Well. This depends on if you're selling/buying them by the pound or by the each ("they're $1.30 a pound each" I actually heard the produce guy say) not to mention which kind of red apple (gala=yum; delicious=not). This might require a brisk walk or obscure calculus symbols. I'll be right... OK, obscure symbols it is: if so then which makes no sense until Paradigm shift! This calls for more symbols so?=5 because well, duh. [though if apple rhymed with orange, UU] And a Venn diagram! XZY Caulfield: You said to show my work. You didn't specify method. Mrs. Olsen: That's the last time I ask Caulfield up to the blackboard to solve a problem! Frazz: Nice work.
After all that he got it wrong: 90+18=108, so 18/108=1/6 and ?=6, not 5. So was Caulfield too clever (she didn’t notice his error) or not clever enough?
