Math Quiz ( not really a Test ) My Dear Wife,
You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 64 years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with
you, and I value you as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter I
hope you will not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the
evening with my 18-year-old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel. Please don't
be upset - I shall be back home before midnight.'
------------------------ (When the man came home late that night he found the
following letter on the dining room table:) 'To My Dear Husband, I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my being 64 years old. I would like to take this opportunity
to remind you that you are also 64 years old. As you know, I am a math
teacher at our local college. I would like to inform you that while you're
at the Comfort Inn, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my
students, who is also the assistant tennis coach. He is young, virile, and
like your secretary, he is 18 years old. As a successful businessman with an
excellent knowledge of math, you will understand that we are in the same
situation, although with one small difference; 18 goes into 64 a lot more
times than 64 goes into 18. Therefore I will not be home until sometime
tomorrow. |
