This is an original created by me. There was a painter arriving at work. He looked at his to-do list which read: He has 10 walls to paint and 6 hours to finish all by himself. Each 12' by 13' wall required a half gallon of paint. Once he was halfway finished with the job, he got high from the paint and spilled 1 and 1/4 gallons of paint. He then fell asleep for two hours, then woke up and realized he's in big trouble with the boss. Why is this so? The trouble was over 3 strikes on his to-do list. P.S. This should determine who is wide awake at this time or not.

Any questions? I would recommend this for pre-adolescents in school, except for the getting high part.

Very good idea but that did not mathematically pertain the list.

Assuming he painted half of the walls in half of the allotted time, he now has only 1 hour left to paint 5 walls with a quarter of the paint (which is half of what he needs).

Inside the job that he had.

He can only do 2 1/2 of the 5 walls left with the amount of paint he has. The amount of time he has would only allow him to paint 1 2/3 walls. And that's without taking the time to clean up his mess.

1 hour to paint. 5 walls with how much paint.
