After 12 leaps, Kangaroo is at 144 feet.
June 08, 2015
Rabbit is at 234 feet (150 + 84)
Now, I will add another 12 leaps
144 + 144 = 288 feet (24 leaps)
234 + 84 =
318 feet (24 leaps)
288 + 12 = 300 (25 leaps)
318 + 7 = 325 feet (25 leaps)
300 + 12 = 312 feet (26 leaps)
325 + 7 = 332 feet (26 leaps)
312 + 12 = 324 feet (27 leaps)
324 + 12 = 336 feet (28 leaps)
336 + 12 = 348 feet (29 leaps)
348 + 12 = 360 feet (30 leaps)
332 + 7 = 339 feet (27 leaps)
339 + 7 = 346 feet (28 leaps)
346 + 7 = 353 feet (29 leaps)
353 + 7 = 360 feet (30 leaps)

Every hour, Seamus makes 15 snowballs. However, since 2 melt every 15 minutes, he ends up with only 7 complete snowballs at the end of he hour. There are 4 groups of 15 in an hour, so 2 x 4 = 8, and 15­8=7.
Now, since he has 7 snowballs left per hour, take 210 and divide it by 7. This gives 30 hours to complete the fort!

Last week, in Go Math Lesson 6.5, we read that a garden snail can travel at a rate of 2.6 feet per minute. We later were asked to find how long it would take the snail to travel 65 feet. Using this same rate, figure he questions below:
1. How long would it take the snail to travel one mile? Round your answer to the nearest minute, then convert to hours.
2. How far would the snail travel in a year? Record our answer in feet.
D = r x t
5,280 = 2.6 x t
5,280 feet / 2.6= 2030.769230769231 minutes ≈ 2031 minutes
2,031 = 33.85 hours (33 hours_51 minutes)
D = r x t D = 2.6 x 525,600
D = 1,366,560 feet per year

Which Seeds Reach the Final Four Most Often?
The better the seed, the more often it reaches the Final Four. Here's a quick rundown of seeds and the number of times each one has reached the Final Four:
#1 ­ 43 appearances (44.7%)
#2 ­ 20 appearances (20.8%)
#3 ­ 12 appearances (12.5%)
#4 ­ 9 appearances (9.4%)
#5 ­ 4 appearances (4.1%)
#6 ­ 3 appearances (3.1%)
#7 ­ 0 appearances (0%)
#8 ­ 3 appearances (3.1%)
#9 ­ 0 appearances (0%)
#10 ­ 0 appearances (0%)
#11 ­ 2 appearances (2.1%)
No team seeded higher than 11th has ever reached the Final Four. George Mason in 2006 and LSU in 1986 are the only teams to advance that far as eleven seeds. Interestingly, that makes the eleven spot more successful than the ten, nine or seven seeds.
Which Seeds Win the Championship?
Again, top seeds win most often:
#1 ­ 15 championships (62.5%)
#2 ­ 3 championships (12.5%)
#3 ­ 3 championships (12.5%)
#4 ­ 1 championships (4.2%)
#5 ­ 0 championships (0%)
#6 ­ 1 championships (4.2%)
#7 ­ 0 championships (0%)
#8 ­ 1 championships (4.2%)
