I got the math one right. The first two I did what it said I would. The last one I just kind of stared blankly at it and decided I spent too much time so looked at the answer. How about the rest of you?
It's not my fault! It's Spring Break, AND I just woke up! My brain is in uber-shutdown mode or something!

Actually, my teacher read that out loud to some people.
And some got 5000.
It's just how some people's minds work I guess. [ 04-02-2003: Message edited by: Soldar ]

Doesn't matter how you do it, the given is that you've done it. So, the trick "answer" given here is wrong. Without more information, there can be no correct answer.
