Johnny and three friends, Tom, Julia and Matthew went to the cherry grove on Tuesday.
If they left Julia’s house for the cherry grove at 2:15 pm, driving 50 miles at 70 miles per hour, in a vintage VW van with daisies and peace signs painted on the frame, how high would the cherries need to be to be too high in the trees for Johnny and his cherry-picking friends to pick?
Solution: My head just exploded!

For some reason when I saw this photo I thought of those insane word problems in math class. There is a reason I am an artist! You lost me at Johnny and three friends! This Three Line Tale is for Sonya at Only 100 Words based on this photo by Inma Ibáñez.

I was never a good or even a great student of Math, but I did enjoy reading those troublesome mathematical equations.

I have never been good at math. Though I have improved when it comes to applied math. But the word problems were always so confusing to me. I think I tended to overthink them! 🙂

HaHa! We just finished annual testing for my children and the story problem you related in your lines reminds me of the tests I took as a child, making me wonder what on earth I was looking for 😉 Great take on the challenge this week.

If it eases your mind at all, we’ve not come to the super confusing ones again yet, but maybe since those of us who lived with the ridiculousness are now writing the tests, maybe – just maybe – they are no longer so ridiculous 😉
