Day 4- Wednesday, May 14

OMG. 4th grade math is killing me! Does anyone know what this means or how in the heck I'm supposed to explain this (or even check) if Erin got it right?...

Rule: j= q-10
input q 26 ? ? 66 73 74 ?
output j ? 29 45 ? ? ? 83

Rule:
input b 2 4 ? 16 32
output a ? 2 3 ? ?

I should have paid more attention in math class. Does this now explain to everyone why I decided to be an English major? Calgon take me away! (or, Chris...come home soon so I don't mess up our kids!) Just kidding. I'll ask some math experts that I work with tomorrow.

The kids had a nice meal for dinner tonight. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and corn. Did I mention is was a Banquet meal? I haven't eaten dinner yet- it's already 9 pm! I'll probably have cereal for dinner. Tomorrow is a long, busy work day- it's late registration for all our students who waited until the last minute to register for a summer class.

Hang-in-there...just get through tomorrow. I can explain the math problem to Erin. Call me and I will talk you or Erin through it.

Love you all bunches, Janet

j=q-10

Case #1: If q=26 then j=26-10=16
Case #2: If q=? and j=29 then 29=q-10 so q=39
You have 5 more cases.
For the second problem you didn't post the rule ...

From another crazy who will be crossing USA in June. Luis.
