I'm pickin' up what you're layin' down, but it won't result in the same answer without getting as tricky as solving it outright. You have to proportionally increasing their rates of work to match the increase in the total job. Furthermore, you have to maintain the 4:3 ratio of their rates of work.

vontar knows...anyone else?

I enjoyed reading this and if I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I'm looking for Vega's. In the meantime, I'm stuck with La Siesta.

A man gave his his wife a botomless container to put flesh and blood in. What did he give her?

what if the house had been 21 sq. ft. then....21/7 = 3 = wrong answer?

I got one of them ugly things too. I agree...nothing can help it look pretty. I thought at least nothing can make it uglier, but then I put on one of those $15 flea market lasers that attach to the trigger guard. I was wrong...it gets uglier! Darn shame mine shoots so good or it would have been gone a long time ago.

Yeah, but in all fairness...try buying an American flag that isn't made in China. I don't disagree, though...I'm just saying...too

I'd hate to see Elly Mae, Jed, Granny, and Jethro die, but I'd go with the Cartwright sons and let pops sit this one out. Now, if Miss Hathaway and that monkey help...it would be a little closer. P.S. I love the show!

I like this one, but it's a trap (the wording tricks ya into forgetting the real price = $25, not $30). Eeach man overpaid $0.666666667 on the $25 dollar room leaving enough for the clerk to get a coke and a candy bar from the vending machine.

I think it's simpler to say: Jimmy's rate = 1 house per 4 hours Jane's rate = 1 house per 3 hours Unknown = 1 house per x hours Jimmy + Jane = unknown: 1/4 + 1/3 = 1/x or 3/12 + 4/12 = 1/x or 7/12 = 1/x or 12/7 = x = 1 + 5/7 hours or 1 hour plus (5/7*60min/hr) = 1 hour 42 min 51.4 seconds (1'43" is close enough for a DIY project).

A 12th floor tennant takes the elevator down to the lobby every day when he leaves for work. When he comes home he has different rituals. If it rains, he rides the elevator all the way back up to his apartment. Every other day he takes the elevator to the 8th floor and walks up the remaining 4 floors. Why does he do this?

Not sure if I'm falling into a trap on the 2nd one (i.e. why would Jane paint the same house?) If it's legit, my guess is an hour and 43 minutes.

Friday is a dumb name for a horse.

Looks like a lot more work than my lazy butt would do. I dug one horseshoe pit last summer and still haven't started the other...dang that sounds lazy.

My 16 yr old has been trying to get me to read this. Have you actually read it? If so, is it entertaining? I am too, now. Thanks for the heads up. I'll watch anything with zombies in it.

+1 sage advice I'd still sign him up online for a Rainbow vacuum demonstration and schedule it right around supper time, LOL

I helped out my favorite sector of the economy. I bought 300 rounds of ammo, a Hogue grip, and some targets. I also paid for admission to the TWRA shooting range to sight in a scope I bought earlier this week for my S&W M&P 15-22. After that I ate lunch at a local non-franchised restaurant. I also took a short nap, so I can stay up late to drink beer with the neighbors, thus strengthening my community ties. Do those count?

I got this old gun... It's an Ithaca single shot 20 guage. It's killed many a deer, rabbit, fowl, and won several turkey shoots. The pics of the barrel didn't turn out, but is REAL ugly.

Drove Recklessly Today

Welcome, from just down the road in La Vergne.

Jamie, you are absolutely right. This whole conversation has gotten way too serious. Please let me be the first to offer you a sincere apology, if my comments have offended you or if you feel like I have attacked you unfairly. Far too often strong beliefs in anything cause a person to get defensive. If we had a differing opinion on illegal immigration, tax rates, universal helathcare, or 2nd ammendment rights, this would likely have gotten just as heated. So, again...sorry if I became overly defensive.

Very nice pistol! It seems like few .45's are that small, but to hold 11 rounds too is awesome.

You absolutely have a right to air your opinion, but you don't have to be so combative. I am not threatened by your position, only your demeanor. Nobody has attacked or ridiculed your position on religion. If you feel antagonized b/c someone else stated their beliefs, that's on you. You have repeatedly made insulting comments and references to others' beliefs, not the other way around.

Jamie you have done more preaching, posturing, and antagonizing on this thread than anyone. OK, we get it you're an atheist, but please note that no non-atheist on this thread has ridiculed your lack of beliefs or invited you to Church.

I decided to go with a 3-9X40 NcStar scope on a 1" Leapers riser with a Leapers vertical foregrip.
