Reply #81: Yes, I considered posting in the lounge, but

I rarely post there and know more DUers here in GD. Thought I'd give it a try -- two hours up late last night with a tearful teenager, re-reading on a subject I haven't cracked open a book for in 20 years or more had us both feeling a bit desperate for guidance. And, I considered other message boards, but, again, I thought I'd stick to what I know. She's a bright kid -- she's just stuck on these two problems out of, like, 50 or so problems that were assigned as summer work. She has appreciated all the responses, and especially the ones that make her think about it and work through those areas she's stuck on. She's got the answers in the back of the book -- she just needs help getting from point a to b on these 2, so to speak.

And least anyone think she's lazy, this is a 16 yo whose worked f/t as a lifeguard all summer long, and has been taking AP History, Chem and English -- which all required summer assignments. This is just the tailend of it all.

Thanks, BlooInBloo! for your kind advice.
