Best one was the Jake Gyllenhall one, MILK...YOU SO SAD =(
Kolopotho: I will find it incredibly shocking and rare if some guy walks up to a girl in a pub and says "i play a level 80 druid in world of warcraft" to which she will respond with "TAKE ME NOW".

Bleh
Actually, if you do it the way the person you are quoting did it, then the second board you are cutting would only be half the width of the previous board, therefore taking half the time to saw.
ex. The original board is 10x10. You cut it in half, getting two boards of 10x5. If it took 10 mins to cut through 10 inches, it would take 5 mins to cut through 5 inches, leaving you with one board of 10x5 and two boards of 5x5.
Yep that's the correct answer IF the problem was with a square board, totally.
Since that isn't specified and the picture shows a slat, the problem is a perfect example of why bad teachers make many people hate maths.
Being a math tutor, I've come across many examples similar to that. Of course in the teacher's mind 10/15/20 is correct, but then ask the right damn queston and don't put a freakin' clipart of a slat next to it if you're talking about a square board...
Who takes 10 minutes to cut through a stick of wood that size as shown in picture? (I will not call that stick a board)
Need realistic math problems!
Johnny ate 200,000,104,294,209 cans of paint yesterday every 3 hours.
Then he ate 15 trucks every 15 seconds.
How many cans of paint and trucks will he eat in 10 days if he eats at least 91,982 times as many trucks as cans of paint?
This entire page has been full of people arguing how long it will take to cut the board.
If she cuts vertically the first time and horizontally the second, the answer will be 15.
If she cuts vertically the first and second time the answer is 20.
The question is just terrible. Good explanation of why math sucks and how little the teacher actually knows.
