Take for instance, figuring out how much paint you need to cover a certain amount of wall space. Oh, then the teachers tell you that math problems help you in real life. The fainted engineer's locamotive's emergency brake takes over. At the same time the train caught in the snowstorm has slid off the right track and onto the dummy tracks. Add to that the fact that the engineer has blood sugar problems and he eventually faints and his foot leaves the pedal. Then add to that the fact that the engineer chewing the gum was doing so because he forgot to eat breakfast. And the other train has just hit a snowstorm icing the tracks. Such as: Supposing that one engineer is chewing gum. The books always tell the speeds of the trains and pretend that nothing else could ever be a variable. Bane of my existence! Take the story of the trains leaving their stations heading toward each other. It is how I have always viewed the subject. What a fun book! I loved the illustrations and the convoluted way of looking at math.
