Ice Storm of 2009

What started out as a few snow flurries and maybe a little bit of ice quickly turned into the worst ice storm in Kentucky's history. Oldham County was hit pretty hard with power outages, icy roads, and snow-packed roads on top of the ice. Those who were lucky fired up generators and huddled next to gas fireplaces. Some of us wrapped up in layers of clothing and blankets as the temperature sank to the teens outside and not much above inside. As miserable as it was, there was beauty to behold as well. Tell us about your story. What did you experience during our week off? did you notice the sivler shimmering of the ice covered trees as the sun started to sink in the early evening? Lets hear your story...

Math Problem of the Week

Three children in the neighborhood decided to throw a party and share the expenses equally. Susan bought $3.oo worth of ice cream, Janet bought a cake from the bakery for $5.oo, and Sharon bought $1.oo from the candy shop.

How much did each person pay the others so that each of them spent the same amount?

Share your thinking and your answer.
