Random Idiot: That dog's barking kept me up all night.
Puddinhead Wilson: I wish I owned half that dog.
Random Idiot: Half a dog? Why would you ever want to own a half a dog?
Puddinhead Wilson: I'd kill my half.
LOL. Weird one for sure. I got the same answer explained in the article.
Total Dogs Large Dogs Small Dogs
49 L 36+L
49=L+(36+L)
49=36+2L
2L=13
13/2=6.5
36+6.5=42.5 dogs...?????!
Yup, this would be a question I would ask to students in 7th to 9th grade. 7th if they were very bright and 9th for an average student. It is basic algebra and requires understanding of fractions and the 4 basic math functions which usually doesn’t happen until 6th grade.
I'm thinking that would be an automatic disqualifier, but that's just me.
