Chapter 4: Week 3 and some serious fashion statements

Day 1 (2/21) : Day 1 was very pleasant and "Mr. Novak" was back in class today, however this time he was much more kind. Did he take off last class to get a massage to relieve stress? I think so and I'll stick by that assumption. Well philosophy was as pointless as ever because we have been going over the first 15 pages in the book for the third straight week now. When we aren't talking about foolish philosophers from way back in the day we are looking at riddles. The one we got last class was as follows: Three guests check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 for himself. Now that each of the guests has been given $1 back, each has paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. If the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?
That problem is far less complicated than it seems and you could solve it by doing simple math. If you get the answer quickly, I applaud you because I didn't quite understand it at first.

The rest of the day was just like any other normal day, everything went according to plan I took my math test, ran a snake at practice and then scrimmaged.... classic Barlow.


I did encounter something that made me reminisce about my elementary school days... no not a child playing with other children, no not a pb&j sandwich (although I even had those in my lunch in high school), BUT THE CLASSIC ROLLY BACKPACK....

Here are two pictures of the rolly backpack being used by those adult students I've previously mentioned. Now the one on the left is just brilliant. It is being used by a 60 year old woman (or so) but is it really a rolly backpack.... NO! It is actually a lovely multicolor suitcase... true innovation on her part, well done. Now the one on the right is also great but for a different reason. She's matching so well! You got the nice red sweatsuit going with the rolly backpack... honestly I can't think of anything better than that. This week was pretty ordinary, but as they say "quality over quantity".
