If you thought it should be 48, then it would be 100% more. Thank you Capt. Obvious. Let me straighten this out for you. 50% of 24 is 12… so if you add 50% of 24 to 24.. you get 36.

I find that pretty funny.

The question goes something like "You have one bucket that's half full and one bucket that's 3/4 full. How many buckets do you have?" He gets the right answer and is declared a genius. That's the road we're going down. The elephant sweater is beyootiful. And, I learned something new about both of you this month - you both bristle against intarsias. Who would have known??

Yep, I'm right when I tell my kids you'll use your math facts every day of your life--unless of course Mountain Dew is there to "Dew" it for you. I LOLed at Kristy and debsnm comments.

You've done a marvelous job, and deserve all the whoop-de-doo you feel like doing! And for the Mountain Dew - the Darren Stevens school of marketing/advertising strikes again!

I've never done intarsia before, and I'm especially impressed with those who do. As for the Mountain Dew.... if there isn't anything else worth mentioning, you just state the obvious? Maybe they'll come out with a "Same can, same great taste" campaign? The elephant really looks great! I’ve never done intarsia before, and I’m especially impressed with those who do.
