I've noticed many kids hanging around The Rocketry Forum at odd hours throughout the day. When do you all go back to school? Some of the schools in my area started last Wednesday, luckily for me my school starts at the end of the month .

##### Catching up and tripping all over myself.
I think we're trying to go towards "year round school", with a month during the summer, winter and spring...

Here in Northern Virginia (Fairfax County), my kids always start the day after Labor Day.

You've got a while to go, how bout a warm up, gettin ready question...... A gourmet jelly bean company can produce 100,000 pounds of jelly beans a day. One ounce of these jelly beans contain 100 callories. If there are 800 jelly beans in a pound, how many jelly beans can be made in one day?

Or, using 8 coins how can you maake change for 65 cents that will not make change for a quarter??

(my pre algebra homework.. haha)

And im too lazy too even try the second...

I thought a quarter could make change for a quarter, plus, that's only 4 coins.

now, one fifty cent piece, two nickels and five pennies=
$.65 and is 8 coins at the same time the answer to the other one is 160,000,000 calloriepounds #### karatekicker271 ##### Well-Known Member I thought it would be funny, know ya'll are jus confusing me!!! #### xenon ##### Well-Known Member 25,600,000,000,000,000 ouncecallories if you need another way to state it #### karatekicker271 ##### Well-Known Member Originally posted by xenon I thought a quarter could make change for a quarter, plus, that's only 4 coins. now, one fifty cent piece, two nickels and five pennies=$.65 and is 8 coins at the same time

Your answer is right, but the 100 callories was in there as extra info/ confusion tactic. And now my dad is tellin me the answer to the jelly bean queston is 80,000,000? I dunno, lol

Oh I figured it out, it's very simple. The calories is extra info to throw you off. Thing about it. They make 100,000 pounds in a day. There are 800 beans a pound, so its just 800 times 100,000. Once I actually looked at it, it makes me really want to be in your math class! (going to geometry)

Actually, to answer the question, Jen goes back to school (college) after labor day and Joe the last week of August. Me? I've never left school, be it the "School of Hard Knocks, U." or some accredited school...

Now, on to the fun stuff...

I have a coin in each hand. One of them is NOT a nickle. Together they total $0.55 (55 cents). What are the two coins? Yes, we are talking standard U.S. money here... #### BlueNinja ##### Well-Known Member I saw that, i tried to divide 100k by 800... I knew the calories had to be throwoff data though. #### Justin Horne ##### Well-Known Member Originally posted by jflis This is a great thread even if it *isn't* about the thread topic...
