My solemn promise to you is to never try doing MATH as a topic again. But Clayton Castle went to Walnut Hills High School, where seventeen juniors and seniors scored a perfect 36 on the standardized test used for college admissions, and he wanted to see if anything rubbed off. It sounded like a good idea, like “New Coke” must have at some point. Then things got worse when I read CC a story about Millenials thinking they will be millionaires. Clayton doesn’t agree. See…he is good with Math! Along the way you’ll find Dr. Ruth, Dr. Who, and Dr. Phil. And a celebrity cameo by Local 12’s Brad Underwood. And a hearfelt message from me buried in the middle. Tonight’s meal: Five Guys. BTW: If Five Guys get into a car that gets 32.5 miles per gallon and go on a cross-country trip… Oh never mind.

I graduated high school in earlier than you Paul and we took the ACT and SAT
Paul Poteet Local 12 says
I only remember the SAT. It was the 70s…maybe there’s a reason I don’t.
Mistique Pullen says
Think my aunt in 80 (she graduated in 80 instead of 81)
Connie Dilworth Haist says
Those tests were available in the 70’s . I took both.
Paul Poteet Local 12 says

Ginger Parks McGee says
I actually checked this out once. By today’s standards, my 1993 act score would NOT get me accepted into my college alma mater. In 1995, I did get in by skin of my teeth.
Paul Poteet Local 12 says
Grade inflation!
Donna Wolford Elmore says
Divide 2727 by however many miles it gets per gallon. Then multiply by $4.04
Thomas Imhoff says
Good thing it’s not metric
Peggy M. Graham says
What size is the tank
Elle K McVay says
Yes..you have to show your work
Elle K McVay says
let’s do something other than math
Mistique Pullen says
I could be watching local news channel. I choose you.
Ginger Parks McGee says
I’d need to know his blood type and his mother’s maiden name
Thomas Imhoff says
When I lived in Buffalo in the mid ‘70s we traveled to Canada where the speed limit was only posted in km/h
Elle K McVay says
I am going to turn the channel
Thomas Imhoff says
3 x why?
Mistique Pullen says
-6
Donna Wolford Elmore says
I can’t do math that mixes the alphabet with numbers 🙁
Kathleen Brennan says
I give up….this is over my old feeble brain
Mistique Pullen says
Actually -6
Thomas Imhoff says
I sorted my pennies by year
Elle K McVay says
Somebody help us
Janet Wolford Sollmann says
I went to my granddaughters track meet
Mistique Pullen says

Rita Sebree says

When they started including letters in math I knew I’d never need algebra.
Elle K McVay says

Donna Wolford Elmore says

Ginger Parks McGee says
And here I am 25 years later I’ve never used algebra in ‘real life’
Paul Poteet Local 12 says
Y=why? lol
Ginger Parks McGee says
Paul Poteet Local 12 As a teacher’s assistant in an elementary school, the most difficult math topic is multiplying/dividing fractions. Fortunately, the manipulatives the kids use are available to the adults as well.
Peggy M. Graham says
$449.00 approx. For approx 111.111gallons
Donna Wolford Elmore says
No more math!!!!
Ginger Parks McGee says
I’m so glad I learned all about algebra and geometry, who needs to know how to balance a checkbook.
Elle K McVay says
I am barely watching any longer
Mistique Pullen says
Stats. Ugh
Ginger Parks McGee says
I’m just here to say the funny stuff
Paul Poteet Local 12 says
That comes in handy when the hosts don’t.
Ginger Parks McGee says
Paul Poteet Local 12 Well, to be fair, ACT scores aren’t exactly the most riveting topic.
Kathleen Brennan says

Paul Poteet Local 12 says

Janet Wolford Sollmann says

Thomas Imhoff says
Now in retirement. Saved more than I thought
Paul Poteet Local 12 says

Personally, I can’t afford to save anything, everything goes to monthly bills and living expenses
Donna Wolford Elmore says
Lol lol… I married someone younger than me. He still works and I ok early retirement from teaching so no problem here.
