Testimony Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 My son got the game "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" for me for Christmas. The family has been playing this game during family night. This past weekend, my son was given a fifth grade math question which went like this: Gabriella bought 2 pints of red paint and 4 pints of yellow paint. How many quarts did she have altogether? My older son figured 3 quarts. The card said that he was incorrect and it was 1 1/2 quarts. Well, I just looked up on ask.com how many pints are in a quart. Guess what? My older son was right. Some conversion site came up and it said, "6 pints equals 3 quarts." So, what do I do? My husband suggests that I write a letter to the company because they bought the game at Five Below. He feels that it makes no sense to go there. :confused: Anybody have any advise???? Should I write to the company?:bigear: I'm all ears. Blessings to all!

Ailaena Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Whenever dd catches something like that I have her write the company a letter. We don't see things like that very often, but she usually gets a nice reply and a couple of coupons, so it can't hurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I would have your son write the company a very nice letter pointing out the error. Who knows? They might appreciate the fact that someone out there is actually playing their games enough to notice slips like that! -Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
