Just want to post a quick contest and send 5 or so sticks to the first person who can come up with the same answer that I came up...hopefully my answer is right!

I was helping my 5th grader with math homework tonight and this one had me thinking..i was able to break it down for her and I think she got it..just wanna test you all as well.


Galinda guzzled 1/17 (one seventeenth) of the guava juice in Gulliver's glass. Drew drank 6 times the amount that Galinda did. Dory downed half as much as Drew. Grover spilled the rest. How much juice did Grover spill? First one with the same answer that I came up with wins.

Good luck.

    That was fast. I think the thing that was throwing her off was the 6 times part. She got the 6 but didnt add the part that Galinda had already drank!! Thanks for the reply. I will get your sticks out tomorrow.

    Its a little known fact that Gulliver was a raging alchoholic so its understandable why None of them could figure this out amongst themselves and the rest of his "juice" was spilled..

    X would be the hypotenuse in this example...
