It has been my drug, my meditation, my weapon and my best friend. It fed and dressed me, led to travel, men, lavish parties and even Cuban cigars. It has placed my name on a movie screen, put my work in museums and allowed me to manipulate things deep inside the human brain. It is called Math.

Romney, Obama and Your Cup of Tea

Rate: 0 Flag
We try to keep a tradition of celebrating everyone who wins 10 puzzle points on these ages with a puzzle. This week we are wrapping the Mathmover in our puzzle.

The Mathmover has been watching the Presidential debates on TV and sipping a tea with milk. More precisely, he started with a full cup of a strong tea to keep himself alert to any surprises on the TV.  He drunk one-sixth of the cup during the first two questions and added some milk to fill the cup.  By the time Presidential candidates went aggressive he finished one-third of his cup and re-filled it again with milk to keep calm.  Later on, when the heat picked up and candidates accused each other of lying, the Mathmover had only half-a-cup of liquid left and topped the cup again with milk to sooth himself toward the bedtime.


The question is whether his wife will have any milk left for her morning-after coffee if they only had a cup of milk left before the debate started.

Your answers are accepted any time until midnight Eastern Time on Sunday, on our Family Puzzle Marathon.
