But is there a prize for getting the correct answer? A doofusaurius would be nice or even a ration of farkleberrium. Yum. This quiz reminds me of the adage: You can lead a hore to culture but you can't make her think.

Oh, my, I'm so glad those math word problems are many days behind me. Please don't hold it against me if I pass on it rather than pass it on! lol

re: "hore" -- did you mean "whore"? Kind of a silly "adage" when one considers how little thought there actually is in so-called culture.

Your quiz was Greek to me so I sent it to my younger brother who is much smarter than me. Not only did I not understand your question, I don't even understand his answer but here it is:
Okay, here's the answer to the problem - The delivery truck traveled a
total distance of 10,800 poppyomiscus or 720 pansyometers using 70
marigoldums per poppymiscus.
([distance] if 5 poppyomiscus = 1 lilly-pilly and 3 lilly-pilly's = 1
panysometer, then 15 poppyomiscus = 1 pansyometer;
[time] if 1 rosehorum = 6 pineyosa and 1 pineyosa = 8 petuniaminiums,
then 1 rosehorum = 48 petuniaminiums;
[volume] if 1 cedariter = 7 begoniolas and 1 begoniolas = 2
marigoldetum, then 1 cedariter = 14 marigoldetums )
My formula went like this: 4.5 RO x 50 PO/PE = D
convert RO to PE by multiplying 4.5 by 48 = 216
216 multiplied by 50 = 10,800 [or 720 PA]
10,800 / 10 = 1,080 CE/MA (divide by 14 = 77.14 PO/MA)

That was a real mind bender. In my younger days it would have been easier. I did come up with the same numbers as eddie's kid brother.

A short list of questions for gardenguru:

What's the difference between a duck?

How many pancakes does it take to cover a doghouse?

How long is a submarine? ___ true, or ___ false

Do you think it will be any more like yesterday than it was tomorrow?

"What's the difference between a duck?"

It depends a great deal on its religious affiliation and sexual preference. But the more important question is, "How do you get down from an elephant?" and the answer is, "You donÂt; you get down from a duck."

"How many pancakes does it take to cover a doghouse?"

Since youÂre talking pancakes, IÂm assuming that pi has something to do with the formula.

"How long is a submarine? ___ true, or ___ false"

False; a submarine is not long, itÂs deep

Should have known I couldn't stump you. ;o)

Joe: Oneduck55 asked a good question about using rubber tire pieces as mulch. You responded that the question was out of place in this forum. I found your reponse unkind, unhelpful, and out of place and find this question "a long question for the experts" totally bogus.

"How many pancakes does it take to cover a doghouse?"

That depends on whether the dog helps or not. My dogs all know the word "pancake" and consider it a delicacy.
