OT- how much
How Much Dirt?
=============== I want to test your mathematical skills Calculate the amount of dirt in the following size hole in cubic feet or cubic yards: 6 ft long x 3 ft wide x 18 inches deep Don't use pencil or paper; calculate it in your head. This tests raw calculating ability. Scroll down for the answer... 0 There is no dirt in a hole. -- John Rutz Z5 New Mexico good judgement comes from bad experience, and that comes from bad judgement see my pond at: http://www.fuerjefe.com |

No dirt -- you'd have an empty hole.

This tests raw calculating ability. :-( I failed miserably -- never was one to read word problems carefully. Read too quickly, and missed a key word in the direction sentence. Thanks for the self-laugh this morning. -- zookeeper |

Actually I did. Your testing folks knowledge of language. I gave the cubic volume measure, and said it can hold UPTO that amount of dirt. As I don't know how much dirt is in the hole, that is the answer, although I'm willing to bet, it ain't much more than a measuring errors worth. Language Lawyering is an old game, it goes both ways. Gotcha. |
