I didn't even have to do the math - I already know that I'mnot smarter than a fifth grader (but I might be smarter than a 1st grader).

A high school has a strange principal. On the first day, he has his students perform an odd opening day ceremony:

There are one thousand lockers and one thousand students in the school. The principal asks the first student to go to every locker and open it. Then he has the second student go to every second locker and close it. The third goes to every third locker and, if it is closed, he opens it, and if it is open, he closes it. The fourth student does this to every fourth locker, and so on. After the process is completed with the thousandth student, how many lockers are open?

10990 in total. 10976 cat legs and 14 human legs.

Think in terms of a math equation and look at the numbers from 1 to 1,000 that have odd number divsors. Or find the perfect squares from 1 to 1,000. Besides the square of 32 is over 1,000 so it has to be 31.

Good grief!!! It's Friday night and I am enjoying an adult beverage. I'm not even going there.

My brain hurts!

Bob and John form a team together. Bob is as old as John will be when Bob is twice as old as John was when Bob was half as old as the sum of their current ages. John is as old as Bob was when John was half as old as he will become over ten years.

How old are Bob and John?

I taught math for a while to high school students in the Ivory Coast.Itwas a long time ago. My DH was just laughing at me for doing math problems

I think I will join Patti and go make an adult drink.

Can't resist a riddle. John is 30 and Bob is 40. It comes down to 2 equations..... Figure out John first then add 10 for Bob.

That is what i was thinking,lol, i seen the title and thought oh a riddle, then it said about being smarter then a 5th grader and i figure oh well that leaves me out. My son is in the third grade and there are days that i cant help him with his homework because they do it so differently then when i did it.
