While some students would solve the problem right away, others would struggle all semester. It had taken Dr. Duke well over a year himself, and he would always explain that the smarter you were, the longer it took to figure it out.

I guess I'm really stupid. I did over complicate it at first; but, it's simple really.

Ha, I read all the over-analyzed crap, and still brought out the calculator, spent time adding and subtracting for about 3 or 4 minutes. Then it hit me!

Simpleminded little puzzle for simpleminded people like us.

You can't figure it out because you attend Call Me Stupid University in Warrensburg........lol

I'm just joking, I can say that because I went to school there too......lol.
