    WTF this is a 3rd grade problem...


    Jim is going on vacation to China, his flight departs from NY at 3:12 pm on August 10th and will arrive at Beijing at 11:50pm on August 11th.. Jims flight stops in Vancouver for one hour and 58 minutes .. beijing in in a time tone 12 hours ahead of NY ... what is the total flight time without the connected service in Vancouver?

    um I am too sleepy ... but I am sure it is not the answer Evan put.

    Jim's cancled his trip, last minute

    I'm horrible in math. This is the way I figured it:

    I went to Expedia.com and searched for flights. They show hours in air not including the connection, so I figured out how you do it.

    11:50 - 3:12 + 12 hours = 20 hours and 38 minutes?

    I dont know... I let his answer stay .. it was a math sheet with 20 questions... all were right except one ( and I fixed it ) and the flight question... so if he missed one... fuck it

    but I am really worried at how retarded I am ... I mean this is 3rd grade math ... wtf - its only going to get harder

    I think she is right.

    EXAMPLE:

    10:03 am Depart New York (LGA)
    Arrive Beijing (PEK) 10:15 pm +1 day Tue 16-Feb
    Duration: 23hr 12mn

    10:15 PM - 10:03 AM = 11 hrs and 12 min + 12 hours = 23 hrs and 12 min

    I went to Expedia myself to check her.

    I just want to know what the correct answer is so I can know if I was right or not. I have always sucked in math... like so bad that I was put in retard classes. All A's and B's and then I would have like a D or and F in math. That's when I gave up trying.

    Now I think it's 19 hrs and 38 min.

    I dunno. I am dumb in math but I will ask a couple of people.

    D'uh yeah the connection. 19 hrs 20 min or 18 hrs 20 min?

    I am so glad that I am finished with school and that algebra wasn't required to graduate.

    here is my math...

    Evan has 20 questions... he gets 19 right and says fuck it on one... so he makes a 95. Thats good enough for me

    that question is so stupid. But I do noticed no one here has tried .. I am now up to 9 -10 replies from facebook and friends on yahoo messenger.

    best reply was from my 62 year old uncle ... " who the hell is Jim ?"

    Well, everyone saw my retarded thought process on that one. And Expedia's time included the connection. Not until after you select the outbound and return flights do they tell you the total air flight time. I feel even more embarrassed about that for different reasons.

    So I was wrong and Homewrecker was wrong but her head is made of plastic and I have no excuse.

    what is funny... a few others have reposted it on facebook. I think we are up to like 20-22 answers. One retarded guy (friend of a freind) replied with ... " This is a trick question, right .. like is Vancouver even on the way?"

    I think it was a trick from the teacher... see who lets mom /dad answer problems for them .. I do not think a 3rd grader could do that alone...

    My thought process has been the same everytime, just my math skills suck.

    I took the arrival and subtracted the departure, added 12 hours and subtracted the connection.

    18 hrs and 40 min

    18 hours 36 min. dumb asses



    This is kinda funny... we called one of friends and his mom if she thought that question was a little hard- she did not get that sheet... turns out Evan was the only one... she said her son had to do his 8 times tables

    That teacher is a cunt and I know she is doing shit to piss BIGMAMA off

    Actually, I would be the only dumbass since no one else attempted it.

    They are what I would consider candy asses.
