What is with the rocket ship?

May 9, 2012

We met a friend for lunch in Toledo. It was extra nice of him to come from Ypsilanti (near Ann Arbor) Michigan since adding an hour and a half to our drive was not a happy thought.

Even though we stopped before our goal of Cleveland yesterday, it was a long day, mostly due to the difficulty of driving in the rain through most of New York (which is a surprisingly large state). Today has to be shorter or my tush will rebel.

Anyway, lunch was good, visit was great. It was nice to chat with someone about math and the sadness of innumeracy (our lunch date is a math prof).

Here is some math for you. Match the value in set A with the description in set B.

Set A:
315.6
14.149
52.50
22.3

Set B:
Miles per gallon
Gallons put in the car
Miles traveled since last gas
Dollars spent on this transaction
