how is that a brain teaser? i kept looking for some kind of hidden trick that I was missing that was going to make me get a wrong answer, then realized this is about as straight forward as you can get.
:p

D-money.........


Good for you for standing your ground.


Yes, it's 'd'.

But did you see how many lurkers were hangin' out ready for the rest?? :p

The mess was the way the problem was written. It actually looks much better printed on screen, but on paper & w/ about an '8' point font, it was almost impossible to see the 'colon' (;) and I couldn't figure out what the heck they were tryin' to ask. I told my daughter to skip it & came back & figured out what they were trying to say.

It probably *should* have read:

Choose from the values on the FAR right of this question block (the way they were situated on the paper) and find all of the appropriate values that will make the statement on the IMMEDIATE right, true!

(And I deal with decimals all day..........EVERY day) :laugh:

Well, I know to use a condom, so (if the current status is any indication) I am smarter than at least 50% of 6th graders.
