WORK PROBLEM. CHOOSE ONLY 1. SHOW ALL WORK. DO NOT FIDGET. 5 POINTS ON YOUR LICENSE IF YOU SCREW IT UP.

A.  Global temperatures were 2.3 degrees cooler in 1776 than they are today. One day, Benjamin Franklin left a 12 ounce glass of beer filled to the rim outside in the sun when it was 78 degrees outside. If left untouched all these years, allowing for only 38% spillage and 50% (to make it easy) evaporation, how much time would it take you to consume the remaining beer using an 8 inch straw with a .3 millimeter diameter sucking away at 13 pounds per square meter?


B.  Draw a map of the original 13 colonies. Locate the capitals and draw a continuous line without picking up your pencil through all capitals without crossing over your line. Now, be honest. What do you see when you look at your drawing?

STOP. YOU MAY GO BACK IF THERE IS TIME AND GUESS AGAIN. IF YOU'RE FINISHED, LOOK AT YOUR WEB CAM AND SAY, "OPTION NUMBER  4."
