I do not know her politics, but this actress has substance...

Didn't Punky Brewster (sp?) do something similar?

She has an Master's Degree in Mathemathtics I believe.

You're probably thinking of Mayim Bialik (AKA "Blossom", form the series of the same name) Pursued a Ph.D. in neuroscience at UCLA.

"If it takes Sam six minutes to wash a car by himself," one fan asked recently, "and it takes Brian eight minutes to wash a car by himself, how long will it take them to wash a car together?"
1/6 + 1/8 = 14/48 = 7/24 of a carwash-per-minute. So it takes 24/7 = 3 + 3/7 minutes. Doesn't take a math major to do that in your head.

"If it takes Sam six minutes to wash a car by himself," one fan asked recently, "and it takes Brian eight minutes to wash a car by himself, how long will it take them to wash a car together?" "This is a 'rates' problem," Ms. McKellar wrote in reply. "The key is to think about each of their 'car washing rates' and not the 'time' it takes them."

Golly, if only my math teachers looked like that when I was in high school!

I think it is just a Batchelor's but the theorem was graduate level work.

Headline: Actress can do high-school math. Don't be too quick to scoff -- a *lot* of high-schoolers (probably a large majority) couldn't solve that problem.
To: So Cal Rocket
Why did parents find it necessary to inflict those horrible glasses on their offspring? Even with the glasses she's cute.

Golly, if only my math teachers looked like that when I was in high school! Our high school librarian looked like that (albeit blonde). Luckily I was a nerd anyway and didn't mind spending a lot of time in the library.

Solving the equations is the easy part, it's figuring out which equations to use to solve a problem that is the trick.

"I love continuous functions and proving if functions are continuous or not," she said. *swoon*
The fact that she's also a major babe is just icing on the cake.
To: Owl_Eagle
There's the perv we all know and love. I have warned you about that. JAIL remember?
