A Nice Problem


OK, so I'm flipping through blogs and come across this nice problem (above) and I print it out and play with it and I'm thinking, "Wow, this is nice." It's not out of this world hard, not trivial for any high school student, and they can almost all do something on it to come up with a boundary on the answer (an Alg II student in less than five minutes comes back with, "It's more than ten and less than fifteen"..}

OK, so I'm going to write about it and I'm on the net searching for the blog??? where did it go? Sorry someone, would love to find your blog again... The guy (I think) teaches a course that seems to be all problem driven (I think I would really like that) and I would love to find out more... Help!!

Anyway, enjoy...
