WELCOME to TUESDAY JUNE 3, 2025

Here’s The Story….
Last week I purchased a burger for $1.58. I handed the cashier $2.00 and started digging for some change. I pulled out 8 cents and gave it to her. She stood there with $2 and 8 cents. She looked bewildered, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register.

I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she burst into tears.

The incident got me thinking about how our kids were learning math in school…. (or not).

Teaching Math In 1950: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5ths of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1960: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5ths of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1970: A logger exchanges a set “L” of lumber for a set of “M” of money. The cardinality of set “M” is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set “M.” The set “C,” the cost of production, contains 20 fewer points than set “M.” Represent the set “C” as a subset of set “M.” Answer this question: What is the cardinality of the set “P” of profits?

Teaching Math In 1980: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math In 1990: By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees. (There are no wrong answers)

Teaching Math In The 2000s: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $120. How does Goldman Sachs determine that his profit margin is $60?

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a HAPPY TUESDAY people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

people. Which should make for an interesting Mother’s Day for
my mom and her six kids.” -Conan O’Brien

Of course, Chipotle already has a breakfast option. It’s the half a burrito you woke up next to.” -Seth Meyers

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
Bad weather meant I was stuck overnight at O’Hare airport in Chicago. Along with hotel
accommodations, the airline issued each passenger a $10 meal ticket, or “chit.
” That evening after dinner I presented my meal ticket to the cashier.
“Is this chit worth $10?” I asked.
Looking up nervously, the cashier responded, “I’m sorry, sir. Was the meal that bad?”

Monday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day!
A large, blond, goofy member of which extremely popular breed is Marley, “the worst dog in the world”?

Answer: Labrador Retriever!
“Marley & Me” was first a best-selling autobiographical book by John Grogan (2005), and then a Hollywood film starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston (2008). The incorrect answers are all real breeds, Fila Brasileiros unusual in that they have been purposely bred to “dislike” humans they have not been brought up with…not one to meet in any kind of alley!

Tuesday Movie Trivia of the day!
Which state did Forrest Gump call home?

Monday’s Quizzler is….​
The first lunar base was completed last year. One company, aptly named “Out Of This World Vacations”,
offers tourists a week-long visit to the Moon. The cost of such a vacation is extremely high.

“It was awesome! Wait till I show you the Moon rocks I brought back,”
Alex boasted as a crowd gathered around him on the school grounds.

“What’s going on here?” Kari whispered to the person beside her.

“Alex is telling us about his experience on the Moon.”

“I felt like an Olympian; I was able to jump more than a metre straight up!” The crowd was clearly impressed
so Alex continued. “There are no clouds and no light pollution from big cities, so there was an amazing view
of the stars. And while you were here, possibly watching the moonrise, I watched the earthrise – right
from when it was just visible on the horizon until it was overhead.”

“Why should we believe you actually went there?” one sceptic asked.

“I knew there would be doubters, so I brought back a few Moon rocks. I collected these while on a
moonwalk in the Sea of Tranquility. Hey, Jack, you collect rocks, this would be a stellar addition
to your rock collection! I’m willing to sell you a rock for only…”

“I’ve heard quite enough,” Kari interrupted. “Jack, save your money for your own vacation.”

What had Kari heard that indicated the story wasn’t true?

ANSWER: If you are standing on the Moon, you will never see the Earth rise or set. One side of the Moon always faces the Earth, while the other side always faces away. So depending on where you are on the Moon, the Earth will either always be in the sky, or never be in the sky; it will not rise or set.

You may have seen the famous “Earthrise” picture; it was taken from a spacecraft orbiting the Moon. Since the spacecraft was moving around the Moon, it was able to see the Earth rise as it moved.

The other parts of the story could be true. Because of the lower gravity on the moon, you can jump about 6 times higher than on Earth. Even though they don’t contain water, many craters on the Moon are called seas, so you would be able to walk in the Sea of Tranquility.
