A Word Problem:

Kristine is weeding in her backyard. Occasionally she takes a break and plays fetch with King. King's favorite stick is a small log, about a foot long and two inches in diameter. The bark is stripped and the wood is well-dried. The stick weighs approximately 12 ounces. Kristine's backyard is approximately 130' wide and 45' deep. In the middle of the yard is a garden area consisting of several small trees, a birdbath, some shrubs, a birdfeeder, and a solar lantern hanging from a post. The lantern is approximately 70" above the ground.

I always want to solve the story, not the math...

You may, but [livejournal.com profile] bevhale and I already use it, which confuses poor [livejournal.com profile] incandragon terribly.

It really covers a lot of bases, doesn't it? ;^) If Bev was a cat, this would be Bev when faced with uggh chores.
