Jan 18, 2022. Rereading the journal, I stumbled upon a tricky math problem that my friend Jason asked me back in April 2021. I had fun talking about it with my girlfriend and her fams earlier. This brings me back to my time in grade 5, solving math riddle from teacher Dan’s class with my mom.

5 Machines make 5 toys in 5 minutes. How many minutes does it take for 100 machines to make 100 toys?

A good one to think about. And I want to share some thoughts about the benefit of solving real-life math problems as well.
