questions from the math bee!
Hosts Abbi and Jen with winner Keith
Enjoy these questions from Wednesday's math bee!
You are a sex slave, and your master has chained you to the corner of a house on a 10 ft chain. Assuming the corner of the house makes a 90 degree angle and is more than 10 ft long on all sides, what is the area of the space to which you are confined?Next Wednesday: Team Trivia.
You have three kinds of human teeth—front teeth, bicuspids, and molars. You are making a necklace in the pattern front, bi, molar, molar. What is the 26th tooth in the pattern?
You are a serial killer who only kills on prime-numbered days of the month. If you are caught on July 22nd, how many people will you have killed that month?
You breathe one cubic foot of air per minute, and are imprisoned in a cube with a side of 5 ft long. How long, in hours and minutes, do you have to live?
If you walk 12 blocks to a booty call at 2 blocks/min and do the walk of shame back home at 1 block/min, what is your avg walking speed for the entire trip? (The answer is not, of course, 1.5!)
If laser hair removal depilates 40% of your bikini area the first visit, 40% of what’s left the second visit, and so on, what percent of your bikini area will not yet be hairless after the third visit?
If you saw SATC in a theater with 400 other people, 80% of whom squealed obnoxiously an average of every 10 minutes, and an hour into the movie you’re ready to kill someone, how many squeals have you heard?
You are a player who intends to schedule one date every day of the week, plus an extra on Saturday. If you have already made plans for Sunday-Thursday, and have 10 people on a waiting list to go out with you, how many social schedules could you arrange this week?
You tip 15% if the service is okay, and 20% of the service is okay and the waiter is hot. If you ate a $50 meal and had okay service and a hot waiter, and ate a $100 meal and had merely okay service, how much did you tip for both?
If Adam and Eve have three male and three female children who marry in male/female pairs, and each of these pairs has three female and three male children, how many people are in this incestuous family?

How much flex is there in the chain, and what body part of mine did she use to chain me?
Also, may I get a picture of my master or do I just have to imagine that part?
In the sex slave scenario surely you'd need to know the height and flexibility of the slave to get an accurate area? That isn't even taking into account movement in three dimensions. The apparatus to which the slave is chained might afford some degree of vertical movement, particularly if they are hanging from a frame of some kind.
You have to account for these things with your slaves or you could pack them too close together. Then where would you be?
Also for the prime number killer you don't make it clear if I, I mean he only gets to kill one person on each of the prime numbered days. Gunning down the patrons of a McDonalds on the 13th might make all the difference to your calculations.
