    Only in math problems can you buy 50 cantaloupes and no one asks, "What is wrong with you?"

    Well, I have questions— is it 50 or 60 cantaloupes? It’s crucial isn’t it?

    Sjoerd, 50 or 60, that's what I get for posting in the morning before I'm fully awake!

    Cackle. Oh dear me, Jane.
    But the comment really was a funny observation.

    That's funny, I thought you grew them, then I read that you bought them.

    Willow, when in elementary school, students are asked "If you buy 60 cantaloupes for X amount of dollars, what does each cantaloupe cost?" It is an exercise in division.
    I didn't buy any cantaloupes, much less that many of them!

    Those math questions often were pretty silly.
