The skill testing question

a4l · 4-21-05, 2:31 PM

For those who know about my luck at rolling up the rim to win at Tim Hortons. Today is the day that I had to answer the skill testing question. When the representative told me it was a three part math question my mind went back to my high school math exams and I broke out in a sweat. All I could think of were those stupid related rates questions in calculus, or even worse second derivatives.

I got really scared when he told me that I only had 5 minutes to answer the question. With pencil in hand and much trepidation I copied down the question exactly as asked.

I had the answer figured out before he finished giving me instructions.

Cool tent, a4l.

Mine's a little less portable . . .

Needless to say, we don't camping that much

You're driving the right kind of truck Rusty.

Your picture reminds me of all the camping I did back in Alberta. We'd do the trailer thing too (although not a fifth wheel), in places around Cold Lake and Bonnyville. Muriel (sp?) Lake comes to mind. We spent a lot of summers there.

That sucks!

Then again you don't have to pay for the gas that it would consume.

Did any of you haer about the woman who was having financial problems and rolled up the rim and won $1,000.00? I love it when people who really deserve it win something.

Muriel Lake is right, it is right outside Bonnyville.

I prefer Cold Lake Provincial Campground, it is where the pic was taken last summer.

Your accomodation seems to be too much like roughing it for my taste.

When I was younger we had a trailer too and I must admit it was comfy but I like tents better, especially when they cost $1.25 plus tax.

BTW congratulations on winning the muffin.
