OMG! When I read in yahoo news that Stephanie March will guest star in Law and Order: Special Victims Unit for six episodes, I squealed, shrieked and cussed! It's about damn time that they bring back the kick-ass Alexandra Cabot in the fold. Let's admit it, ADAs Casey Novak and Kim Greylek are not half as good as Cabot; hell, not even a quarter as good! They can and never will, fill in Cabot's shoes. Novak realized this early on and I bet Greylek will too, sooner or later. Or maybe she does already; I wouldn't know, I boycotted the show. I mean, I wasn't following every episode as religiously as I used to. I guess people will remember Novak as the ADA who replaced Alex Cabot and Greylek as the someone who replaced a replacement. What can I say? Cabot completes SVU; she sets the bar. Even the ratings are proof enough and numbers don't lie. It literally swan-dived after she was forced into Witness Protection Program. So after hearing that she will return for six episodes I am grinning rather widely it hurts! I guess saying that I am excited is honestly an understatement.
Ok, moving on. The problem below merits posting simply because we encounter it way too often. Well that, and the fact that I can't find the list of math problems I compiled a long time ago. Anyway, this problem illustrates the use of the technique known as working backwards. Read and try solving it and you will know what I mean. I can't help it, I just have to name the character, Alex.
Alex bought a bag of apples on Monday and she ate a third of them. On Tuesday, she ate half of the remaining apples. On Wednesday when she looked inside the bag, she found that she had only two apples left. How many apples did she have at the start?
