Hello everyone!
First, let me apologize for my unplanned absence from the blogosphere. I'd like to say that I was busy, but really, I was having way too much fun with my summer off. I visited Walt Disney World for the first time in 8 years in June, went to two D23 events in Los Angeles, and spent last weekend in Disneyland.
To make up for it, I have a slew of ideas for new games, line boredom busters, and even weekly posts. Now that I'm back at work, it's a little bit easier to keep myself accountable for this blog and I've worked out a schedule that will have me posting 3 times per week. On Mondays, I will be throwing out the ultimate Disney observers' math problem. All you need is a keen pair of eyes and a calculator (or if you're the complete opposite of me, you can use your head) to answer the question posed on Math Homework Mondays. On Wednesday, keep your eye out for Wonderful World of Words Wednesdays, where you may need to pack your thinking cap and a pencil to unscramble or decipher Disneyland-related word problems. And finally, on Fantastic Fantasmic Fridays (see what I just did there?), I'll be putting up a new line boredom buster, tantalizing scavenger hunt, or tip that will only increase your fun in the parks.
So, to some up, here's the new blog schedule:
-Math Homework Mondays
-Wonderful World of Words Wednesdays
-Fantastic Fantasmic New Game Fridays
Now that business has been taken care of, let's have some fun with our first Math Homework Monday problem.
As I stated above, all you need for this problem is your eyes, a calculator, and maybe a pencil. This particular problem has several steps and will have you searching out signs throughout Disneyland. Here's the problem:
1. Go to Mickey's House in Toon Town and search the living room for a cork board. On the cork board is a wedding invitation. Write down the RSVP number (without dashes).
2. Head to the queue for Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin and find the recipe for "The Dip." Write down the number of parts of acetone required to make "The Dip." Subtract it from the RSVP number.
3. Divide your answer by the maximum age of child that is required to wear a life vest on the Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes (look for the sign near the queue entrance).
4. Add the digits of your answer together (For instance, if your answer was 362, add 3+6+2).
5. Take that answer and count to find the alphabet letter that corresponds with that number (A is 1, B is 2, C is 3 and so forth).
6. Name a Disney Princess whose name begins with that letter. That is today's Math Homework Monday answer.
I'll give you a week to sort it out and update this post next Monday with the correct answer and the work I did to figure it out. All answers for this problem are whole numbers.
Feel free to post your answers on the comments section below or find me on twitter (@disneylandgames) and let me know there. I'd love to hear from you.
