As we sat having dinner at IHOP, my mind wandered as it often does.
I began to ponder the cubic volume of milk that I had consumed.
My parents and I had a long talk about our differing strategies to solve the problem. At one point the manager of the store came over to ask us what we were doing.
We had a great time, but couldn't agree on a strategy.
When we got home, Mom took out one of her old text books.
Dad searched the net for clues.
I simply began to write down everything we knew for sure....
....in order to come up with a logical solution.
****We never found out if our answers were correct, but thanks to one of the bright young men at our church, we found out that Mom was on the right track. I also learned that I really don't have to worry about problems like this until I'm in Calculus!
