Childish Math Problems

I was bored today so I decided to go through my old Multiply blog, and found this problem set I made a few years back when I taught incoming Grade 6 students Mathematics. It was actually my dream to make problems since I feel like I’m in power. lol

Here are some which I made :> My students’ favorite was the Naruto problem.

  1. Rachel is excited to see her math crush-mate (crush classmate). However, there are still 6 hours to go before her math class. Her crush is also habitually late for 15 minutes in class. How many seconds does she have to wait too see him again? (There are 60 seconds in 1 minute and 60 minutes in one hour.)
  2. Professor decided to give his three daughters investment money so they would have something else to do besides fighting crime. He gave Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup $60,000, $40,000 and $50,000 respectively. After one year, Blossom earned half of the amount she invested. Bubbles lost one-fourth of the amount she invested because she bought too much candy and bunnies, but recovered and eventually earned one-third of the remaining amount. Buttercup was able to earn as much as he invested. If they were to pool together all the money they had after one year and divide them equally among them and Professor, approximately how much will each receive?
  3. Marlon is looking for his son Nemo. He has one problem. There are a billion fish in the sea! So he decided to search at one fish town at a time. If each fish town has an average of 8 million fish, how many fish towns should he go to?
  4. Naruto decided to go to the Sand Village to visit Gaara. Konoha is exactly 12,500 km away from the Sand Village. Because Naruto aspires to become the Hokage, he trains well and therefore can travel at the speed of 250 km/hr. How much time did Naruto need to arrive in the Sand Village if he also stopped at 5 ramen stores? Each time he stops at a ramen store he takes 2 hours. Express your answer in days and hours.
  5. Harry Potter wants to be an honor student, and he needs at least exactly an average of 90 to enter the honor roll. He had high grades: he got 100 in Defense Against the Dark Arts, 87.32 in Transfiguration, 95.16 in the Care for Magical Creatures and 93.15 in Divination. However, Professor Snape gave him a grade of 67.79 in his Potions class. Harry’s hope lies in his Charms grade. At least what grade should Harry have in his Charms class so he could be an honor student?
  6. John won P 1,258,530.75 from the lottery. While he was claiming his price, John said that he wanted his money in coins to make sure that they won’t be giving him fake money. He told them that P 1,000,000 of his money should be in 5-peso coins, while P 200,000 is in 1-peso coins. The remaining money should be in 25-centavo coins. How many coins in total would John have if they gave him what he wanted?

I think I did not change at all through these years. I’ll still definitely make problems with known characters so the problems will be a little more appealing. It’s not that I will teach again though, I don’t feel like stepping back into our department unless really necessary.(=_= )

I won’t say anything except that I’m a genius and I can make a living out of this, but you can pretty much guess what I could probably say from this post. I’ll probably only post these pictures here in Tumblr since I have overbearing friends who can’t stop talking about how fat I am or how I remind them of a suman. I swear I’ll lose weight someday and they’ll repent.(ノ `Д´)ノ ~┻━┻

So what’s up? I know I haven’t been blogging about any of my current addictions (I have tons of new stuff I’ve been fangirling on like Dream High and Ao no Exorcist), but motivation is hard to find lately. I’m even working up the motivation to attend our college graduation tomorrow since I can’t  believe how racist (lol) our college is! Only honor graduates can do the offering during the Thanksgiving mass! Talk about adding salt to open wounds. For someone who got a GWA of 1.7513, this is an unforgivable shenanigan! I’m just complaining but I’ll attend it anyway—I already have a dress prepared. But still, BOO!

Finally, I got my graduation pics taken!:”> I have been waiting for this moment for five fucking long years.♥ Two months ago I had no idea I can already have these taken.

For our graduation pictures, we patronized the Agencie studio. Well, if I think about it, the pictures are really good. They made us look like decent people and the staff were really amiable. I’m just a little enormously disappointed because I wanted a creative shot that’s really creative, if you get my drift. Mine is just a glamour shot that does not hold any ounce of uniqueness in it. I asked my makeup artist to imitate at least the makeup in this, but my pleas were ignored. Actually, my pleas that the dress he told me to wear is too small for me were ignored too. Thus, here lies the dilemma that I can only post the edited creative shots since I’m really fat in the raw shots. Which is a shame, really, since I look godlike in the pictures if you ignore my flabby stomach. I do not intend to boast in any way, but make up really has unknown wonders.(=3=) My only consolation is that I finally got to wear false eyelashes.

I need someone who can edit my flabs away. Will pay food to any volunteer.

Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest—

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!

Drink and the devil had done for the rest

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!

I wish I could go Jack Sparrow myself and drink myself senseless around a bonfire in some island. I wonder when have I become this pitiful, that whenever I feel like crying I have nobody to share my pains with. It is just at that exact moment when I feel myself falling apart that no one is conveniently available, adding salt to the already salty seawater. These moments are becoming too frequent to ignore and I scold myself for living with the delusion that I have enough friends. Apparently I don’t.
