Just like the eggs and four of their friends, yes. The frog escapes on his 28th jump and therefore does not slide back down the well.
The eggs? I'm not so sure about them. Maybe eggs were smaller in 1921. |
If a hen and a half lays an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many and a half that lay better by half will lay half a score and a half in a week and a half?

Re the slaves picking oranges.... Another 3rd grade homework on that test was:
"If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in 1 week?" The Principal is collecting the homework and destroying it, and looking for a teacher named Fred. |
A high-school science teacher in Western Australia got in hot water a while back.
Use "problem-based" teaching, they had told him. Make it interesting, they had told him. Quote:
