The answer is zero. Al washed the car. Fred washed the car. How long would it take them to wash the same car together? The car is already clean. No time at all! :)
metro121482 See, this is what I hate about math problems. How long would it take to wash the car together? It makes it seems like the two are gonna wash another car.
Hahahaha yes. Wow even the way Minkus said things like "hold your applause" and "Wrong, as in not right?", and "Nurse", it's such the Minkus way of saying things. Farkle acted the same way, so yes indeed, like father like son indeed. Only difference is that Girl Meets World didn't axe Farkle's character after season 1, they gave Farkle the chance to GROW and mature.
MusicLover_KB and you saw how that worked out overall...cancelled after 3 seasons. Not solely based on the character, but it definitely did not help to give him an identity crisis and try to make him seem eccentric after a few episodes. Topanga was allowed to GROW and mature over the first few seasons, but Farkle was scrapped and given a whole new character style. In BMW, Minkus’ role was done and no longer needed with Topanga becoming the love interest and “third wheel” instead of him. Plus the boys grew out of teasing him all the time, which showed growth for them too, plus it would be redundant for all 4 main characters to be in the same classes every single year (too many main characters as is too!)
@@collegebro85 yeah but I’m Girl Meets World you got the chance to see Farkle grow out of being his father’s carbon copy.

***** Nah, it doesn't work that way. Suppose they both took five minutes each. Now suppose they worked together. You don't think it would take them five minutes together, would you? That would be a waste. One would wash half, the other washes the other half, they'd be done in 2.5 minutes. Now, for the correct answer, you use the "work principle": If someone does a job in x minutes, 1/x is done in one minute. (For example, if you can do a job in 7 hours, 1/7 of the job is done in an hour.) Then you just determine how much work Al and Fred do separately, add them, and use that to determine how long it takes them both - assuming they cooperate and don't fight or something.
"I'm not interested in the answer. I'm more interested in how you arrive at the answer." We need more teachers like this. Learning the procedure helps in the long run rather than just getting the answer.
Well Al in a minute can wash 1/6 of a car and Fred 1/8 of a car Now to convert these factions to the same denominator. So we find the common denominator by multiple each other denominator so 48 And the numerator by the corresponding democratic to To make Al 8/48 of a car in 1 minutes and Fred 6/48 in 1 minutes or 14/48 together in 1 minutes So now how to calculate a full car. We swap the numerator with the denominator 48/14 ≈ 3.43 so the answer is 3.43 minutes. Yep I had a good maths teacher Thank you Mr Joans.

@@christinadoxstader1787 that answer only works if we assume that person a and person b wash the car together at the same rate as if they were washing it alone. If Person B decides to slack off because A is doing more work,then Minkus was partially right. It has to be lower than person A, but theres no definitive answer because B might be a lazy asshole.
I love how Feeny just lets Minkus go to the nurse. I know it's a TV show, and in real life, or at least at my elementary school, there's no way that would fly lol. But in the show, it's the trust and acknowledgement that Feeny has, knowing what a good student Minkus is, and how much he cares about school, he lets him go. Gotta love that lol.
I was tempted to say "7" at first, but then, I realized that the answer is actually 3 3/7 minutes. 1/6 is the rate one person washes the car while 1/8 is the rate the other person washes the car and assume that X is the the number of minutes it takes for both of them to wash the car at the same time. (1/6)X+(1/8)X=1 X(1/6 + 1/8) =1 X (7/24) =1 X=24/7 X=3 3/7 It takes 3 3/7 minutes for both of them to wash the car.
This is why Mr.Feeny was my favorite grown-up character on BMW he just didn't a simple answer to the questions he asked because he wasn't looking for those he was looking for a life important answers to his simple asked questions.
Loved the throwback to this episode in GMW. I suck at maths so it's interesting to read the comments and see all the different ways people came to an answer which is sort of the point. A maths book may give you a set answer but as BMW & GMW pointed out life doesn't have a set answer which is the whole point of the question. I believe the GMW quote is "people change people"
I felt like in these early days, Minkus and Topanga were both just oddball nerd side characters with funny voices. I didn't realize one would become so incredibly important or that the other would disappear entirely.
They saw something in Fishel. Good thing she and Savage had the chemistry to get by such a ridiculous name. The Minkus character was seen at least one more time when they went to High School.
Another way of looking at it is to consider each one's time to finish washing one unit of car in the sense of velocity and the equation d=rt, where "d" = the units of cars completed (in this case, 1), and "t" = the time one of them spends washing the car. "r" therefore, is the "speed" at which it takes each one to complete the car. Do a bit of algebra so that r=d/t, and you get the speeds of 1 car per 6 minutes and 1 car per 8 minutes, or 1/6 and 1/8. Since we are treating them as vector quantities in this situation, you can add them together, so both boys working together would have a combined speed of 1/6+1/8, or 14/48 = 7/24 cars per minute. Since you only care about how fast they can complete one car, the final equation will be 1 = (7/24) t This simply results in the reciprocal, 24/7 minutes for the combined efforts of both boys to complete the car.
If Al washes a car in 6 minutes, and Fred does it in 8 minutes, that means Al washes 1/6 of the car every minute, and that Fred Washes 1/8 of the car in a minute. If both of them wash the car together, they wash 1/6+1/8 every minute. That means our equation, if we want to know how long it takes for them to wash the entire car, is: t(1/6+1/8)=1. After clearing t, t=24/7 minutes. That is: it takes them aprox 3,43 minutes to wash the car together.
It's actually about 3.26 minutes. 24/7 equals 3 and 3/7 minutes. Remember, there are 60 seconds in a minute, not 100. 3/7 of 60 seconds is about 25.7 seconds.
@@BrandyBrandalia 3,43 is 3 minutes and .43 minutes, or 43% of 1 minute, not 43 seconds. Similarly, writing 3.26 minutes does not equate to 3 minutes 26 seconds, it equates to 3 minutes 15.6 seconds
Nice direction. Look at the face of the kid behind Minkus when he's told he's wrong. He's a nobody in the scene, but instead of skipping back and forth between Minkus and Cory/Shawn, the boy behind Minkus was directed to provide the reaction, while maintaining the continuity. Nicely done, all 'round. "Nurse," was brilliant.
That’s false people I look him up Minkus played by Lee Norris. Lee didn’t change his gender at all I wonder who keeps thinking that Chanel is actually Lee that is a rumor people. They may look alike but they had no affiliations to each other or him having his sex change that’s false
Not a bad concept at all: have teachers get their master’s degrees and start teaching from kindergarten to 12th grade. If they teach three classes all the way through that would make them 63 and eligible for partial retirement. Then they could spend the next few years subbing. This would also allow for consistent discipline during childhood and adolescence rather than having all these fatherless children get a blank slate every year with a new teach who doesn’t really care about them.
For those wondering about the right answer: Only the speed of washing is additive. Al washes 1/6 of a car per minute. Fred washes 1/8 of a car per minute. Combining their effort they wash 1/6+1/8=7/24 of a car per minute. So together to wash one car they would take 1 car / (7/24) car per minute = 24/7 minutes = 3 + 3/7 minutes.
3 minutes, 25.7 seconds. It's a deceptively difficult question because you have to think about fractions of percentages over time. In 1 minute, Al can wash 1/6 (0.1667) of the car, and Fred can wash 1/8 (0.125). This makes 29.16% of the car washed every minute, or .486%/second. That gives you (roughly) 205.7 seconds or 3:25.7
I was wondering when somebody would bring this up. (A*B)/(A+B)=X (6*8)/(6+8)=X 48/14=x=3.42857142857 mathematically speaking, based on the information presented.
@@LucianDevine man I just found the LCM of 6 and 8. LCM is 24. In 24 minutes they could wash 4 and 3 cars respectively. So 7 total cars in 24 minutes is 1 car in 24/7 minutes. 3 3/7.
@@jakefromstatefarm6969 I understand the logic, but my brain latched onto the formula that I already knew. It involves no extra numbers, just the 2 that we are given, 3 if you count the minutes.
@@LucianDevine oh yeah your formula is awesome, something I didnt think of. I think my logic is more intuitive for someone learning the idea though. It's how I always did it on math team.
Given that the car as whole can be represented by 100%, then on average, Al washes 100/6 ~ 16.67 percent of the car per minute, while Fred was 100/8 = 12.5 percent of the car per minute. Together, Al and Fred each wash a proportion of the car simultaneously, until it is 100 clean; this equates to the algebraic expression [16.67*(time to clean car)] + [12.5*(time to clean car)] = 100. Combining like terms and solving for t, we get that t ~ 3.43 min, or ~ 3minutes, 26 seconds. So together, it takes approximately 3 minutes, 26 seconds, with Al cleaning 16.67(3.43) ~ 57.1% of the car, and Fred cleaning 12.5(3.43) ~ 42.9% of the car
I stumbled across this clip and am glad I can still do basic math word problems. All can wash 1/6 of the car per minute and Greg can wash 1/8th of the car per minute. Let X = the total time to wash the cars. They can do 1/X per minute. So you have 1/6X+ 1/8 = 1/X. Or 7/24=1/X so X=24/7=3.43 I'm surprised MinKus needed a calculator to do 1/4 * 6 or 3/2 = 1.5. Isn't he supposed to be a genius?
Mathematically, I agree that approximately 3.43 minutes is correct if both individuals work without rest until the car is completely washed. You could also argue that Al will only agree to wash half of the car, and he would take 3 minutes to do so. Fred would need 4 minutes to wash his half of the car, so the total time to wash the car under this scenario would be 4 minutes.
Shared work formula (which is typically beyond the scope of 6th-grade math curriculum): 1/Time1 + 1/Time2 = 1/SharedTime. We plug in our times: 1/8 + 1/6 = 1/x Get an LCD: 3/24 + 4/24 = 1/x Add: 7/24 = 1/x Cross-multiply or just reciprocate everything: x = 24/7 (the ~3.43 which people below have already found). Multiply 0.43 min by 60 sec/min to get roughly 26 sec, So the combined time rounds to *3:26**.*
0:47 Cory's not using his noodle. They're working together, so it has to take less than six minutes. If they both took ten minutes, it would take five together. 1:23 Minkus forgets: If you can do a job in x hours, 1/x of that job is done in an hour. (Substitute "minute(s)" as appropriate.) Farkle gives the correct answer in GMW.
Al washes half a car in 3 minutes (6/2=3). Fred washes half a car in 4 minutes (8/2=4). If they wash the car together Al will finish his half at the 3 minute mark. At this point, Fred has completed 75% of his side (3/4=0.75). If Al then helps Fred with the remaining 0.125% of the car (1/2 of 0.25%(cause he started with 1/2 the car)), and if we treat this last 0.125% as a completely new section with two halves... Considering Al's pace of 0.166% per minute and Fred's pace of 0.125% per minute, if they worked at the same speed they would average out the last 0.125% at 51.6 seconds (0.125/0.145=0.86) (60x0.86=51.6s) or 25.8s each, but since Al works 25% faster than Fred we can offset the average 0.25% or 6.45s in Al's favor meaning Al will be done with his half of the last 0.125% or 0.0625% in 19.35s while Fred will only have completed 0.75% of his half of the last 0.125% or 0.0625% or 0.047% leaving 0.015% of the car remaining. If we then treat this remaining 0.015% as a new section split into two halves we would get Al completing his half of 0.015% or 0.0078% in 2.25s while Fred will only have completed... wait for it... 0.75% of his half of the last 0.015% or 0.0078% or .0.00585% leaving 0.00195% of the car remaining. And this gets split in half again and again and again. That was a long way of saying that it will take Al and Fred an infinite amount of time to wash the car together. However, a more practical answer would be 3 minutes and 30 seconds. 7 minute average divided by 2 cause there are two people washing the car.
I'm pretty sure Corey learns from this episode that there is no right answer sometimes, and that's the answer to the question there is no right answer sometimes

the answer is "the secret of life" and that "people change people" according the GMW s2 e3
mikey muralidharan No GMW has this question because this show was before girl meets world, a reboot
This is why Mr.Feeny was my favorite grown-up character on BMW he just didn't a simple answer to the questions he asked because he wasn't looking for those he was looking for a life important answers to his simple asked questions.
1:33 the kid behind Minkus is so excited to hear that.
Loved the throwback to this episode in GMW. I suck at maths so it's interesting to read the comments and see all the different ways people came to an answer which is sort of the point. A maths book may give you a set answer but as BMW & GMW pointed out life doesn't have a set answer which is the whole point of the question.
I believe the GMW quote is "people change people"
Minkus was in One Tree Hill ! Mr. Feeny was voice of KITT in Knight Rider & was in The Graduate with Dustin Hoffman!
Hears minkus explaining how he arrived at his answer
Breaths in deeply and shouts
"NERD!!!!"
“I’ve been waiting to hear those words until preschool” yea that sounds about right
Cory and Shawn truly what everyone should base their friendship on.
Now he runs Minkus International

I felt like in these early days, Minkus and Topanga were both just oddball nerd side characters with funny voices. I didn't realize one would become so incredibly important or that the other would disappear entirely.
They saw something in Fishel. Good thing she and Savage had the chemistry to get by such a ridiculous name. The Minkus character was seen at least one more time when they went to High School.
always good to see shows today have throw back from the same producers to keep the spirit of the show alive
-Where are you going?
-Nurse
😂😂😂😂😂
1:34
That kid's reaction in the background cracks me up.
Another way of looking at it is to consider each one's time to finish washing one unit of car in the sense of velocity and the equation d=rt, where "d" = the units of cars completed (in this case, 1), and "t" = the time one of them spends washing the car. "r" therefore, is the "speed" at which it takes each one to complete the car. Do a bit of algebra so that r=d/t, and you get the speeds of 1 car per 6 minutes and 1 car per 8 minutes, or 1/6 and 1/8. Since we are treating them as vector quantities in this situation, you can add them together, so both boys working together would have a combined speed of 1/6+1/8, or 14/48 = 7/24 cars per minute.
Since you only care about how fast they can complete one car, the final equation will be 1 = (7/24) t
This simply results in the reciprocal, 24/7 minutes for the combined efforts of both boys to complete the car.
The answer could be anything from 8 minutes until forever, so there really is no answer.
Very good. I got the same answer of 24/7 as well.
He is very minkus she is very minkus they are very very very very MINKUS
This is probably one of the BEST moments in television history
I love that Girl meets World took a spin on this.
The boy behind minkuses face was priceless, he was Like what do you mean
Sounds Familiar...
Cory: I've been waiting for those words since preschool
Gospel choir: hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah 😁😁😁😁
The memories from this show❤
When he said mr. Minkus your wrong i was like are we in another dimention
If Al washes a car in 6 minutes, and Fred does it in 8 minutes, that means Al washes 1/6 of the car every minute, and that Fred Washes 1/8 of the car in a minute. If both of them wash the car together, they wash 1/6+1/8 every minute. That means our equation, if we want to know how long it takes for them to wash the entire car, is: t(1/6+1/8)=1. After clearing t, t=24/7 minutes. That is: it takes them aprox 3,43 minutes to wash the car together.
ver nice
It's actually about 3.26 minutes.
24/7 equals 3 and 3/7 minutes. Remember, there are 60 seconds in a minute, not 100. 3/7 of 60 seconds is about 25.7 seconds.
@@BrandyBrandalia 3,43 is 3 minutes and .43 minutes, or 43% of 1 minute, not 43 seconds. Similarly, writing 3.26 minutes does not equate to 3 minutes 26 seconds, it equates to 3 minutes 15.6 seconds
Actually, it's 3.43 minutes.
It's close enough.
Which equals 3 minutes and 26 seconds.
The answer is 2 mins.
3.5 minutes. Their average time/2 because theyre both washing the car.
They_Call_Me_ Pebbles yes.
Nice direction. Look at the face of the kid behind Minkus when he's told he's wrong. He's a nobody in the scene, but instead of skipping back and forth between Minkus and Cory/Shawn, the boy behind Minkus was directed to provide the reaction, while maintaining the continuity. Nicely done, all 'round. "Nurse," was brilliant.
Minkus look like Chanel west cost from
you can keep your ring you deserve it😂
+Wolfghosts Sounds like her too.
+Pro God Pro life Pro Gun lol it is her
Was she orginally a boy or girl?
That’s false people I look him up Minkus played by Lee Norris. Lee didn’t change his gender at all I wonder who keeps thinking that Chanel is actually Lee that is a rumor people. They may look alike but they had no affiliations to each other or him having his sex change that’s false
As a kid who was labeled smart getting the wrong answer was the worst because everyone made a big deal out of it XD
RIGHT!?!
This was the best 90s show
We need to clone Mr. Feeny and put him in every school.
This clip reminds me why I loved this show growing up.
Not a bad concept at all: have teachers get their master’s degrees and start teaching from kindergarten to 12th grade. If they teach three classes all the way through that would make them 63 and eligible for partial retirement. Then they could spend the next few years subbing.
This would also allow for consistent discipline during childhood and adolescence rather than having all these fatherless children get a blank slate every year with a new teach who doesn’t really care about them.
You take the equation of axb/a+b 8x6 =48 a+b =14 u get the answer of 48/14 = 3 3/7 min.
Awe! They did this on girl meets world too!
Shouldn't the answer be 0 because it's already clean
mike malice Lel.
Thats not the correct answer!
Someone stole your joke and got like 2k likes
MrNotFunny he didnt say when tha car be clean...he said how will it take both to wash tha car?
Finney: Mikus where you going
Mikus: Nurse
😂😂😂
I m so happy that i started to watch this amazing sitcom
For those wondering about the right answer:
Only the speed of washing is additive.
Al washes 1/6 of a car per minute.
Fred washes 1/8 of a car per minute.
Combining their effort they wash 1/6+1/8=7/24 of a car per minute.
So together to wash one car they would take 1 car / (7/24) car per minute = 24/7 minutes = 3 + 3/7 minutes.
I have wanted to hear those words since the first episode!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Years later, the same thing happened on Girl Meets World, with Minkis's kid doing the same thing. It was a great throwback
I feel that the question itself is a hypothetical as an actual correct answer doesn't exist
In 2019...this show is still awesome!
didn't Cory ask his students the same thing on Girl Meets World? 😄🤣
Fenny broke minkus 😂😂💜👍
3 minutes, 25.7 seconds. It's a deceptively difficult question because you have to think about fractions of percentages over time.
In 1 minute, Al can wash 1/6 (0.1667) of the car, and Fred can wash 1/8 (0.125). This makes 29.16% of the car washed every minute, or .486%/second. That gives you (roughly) 205.7 seconds or 3:25.7
Why do you feel such strong urge to divide though?
If you've ever seen the movie Little Big League back in the day, this math problem should be fairly simple.
I was wondering when somebody would bring this up.
(A*B)/(A+B)=X
(6*8)/(6+8)=X
48/14=x=3.42857142857 mathematically speaking, based on the information presented.
@@LucianDevine man I just found the LCM of 6 and 8. LCM is 24. In 24 minutes they could wash 4 and 3 cars respectively. So 7 total cars in 24 minutes is 1 car in 24/7 minutes. 3 3/7.
@@jakefromstatefarm6969 I understand the logic, but my brain latched onto the formula that I already knew. It involves no extra numbers, just the 2 that we are given, 3 if you count the minutes.
@@LucianDevine oh yeah your formula is awesome, something I didnt think of. I think my logic is more intuitive for someone learning the idea though. It's how I always did it on math team.
@@jakefromstatefarm6969 Yup, makes perfect sense. When in doubt, go with what you know.
On today's episode of:
Why the hell is this on my recommended?
I watch Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World clips, so it makes sense that this was in my recommended. I don’t know about you though.
@@hellod4036 That's probably the same for me then, I watch maya hart edits lol
Mr. Minkus is finally wrong
1:35 ... The kid behind Minkus... His reaction at "you're wrong" is amazing. It's so whaaaaaaaa.... And well get him a better role
now this is making me wonder how many boy meets world references i missed while watching girl meets world
Go back and watch episodes and take good notes.
I caught so many and still missed this one.
lol 😂 I love this!!
It was bound to catch up with you. Lol I loved this show growing up.
He is very Minkus, she is very Minkus, he is very very very very very Minkus 🐸
that shit makes my headache hurt
I just love how Shawn always insults Minkus and he fires back and roasts him😂
No time. The car has already been washed twice.
Given that the car as whole can be represented by 100%, then on average, Al washes 100/6 ~ 16.67 percent of the car per minute, while Fred was 100/8 = 12.5 percent of the car per minute. Together, Al and Fred each wash a proportion of the car simultaneously, until it is 100 clean; this equates to the algebraic expression [16.67*(time to clean car)] + [12.5*(time to clean car)] = 100. Combining like terms and solving for t, we get that t ~ 3.43 min, or ~ 3minutes, 26 seconds. So together, it takes approximately 3 minutes, 26 seconds, with Al cleaning 16.67(3.43) ~ 57.1% of the car, and Fred cleaning 12.5(3.43) ~ 42.9% of the car
I remember this episode. You're wrong.
Minkus where are you going?
Minkus : Nurse
Me : lol
I stumbled across this clip and am glad I can still do basic math word problems.
All can wash 1/6 of the car per minute and Greg can wash 1/8th of the car per minute. Let X = the total time to wash the cars. They can do 1/X per minute. So you have 1/6X+ 1/8 = 1/X. Or 7/24=1/X so X=24/7=3.43
I'm surprised MinKus needed a calculator to do 1/4 * 6 or 3/2 = 1.5. Isn't he supposed to be a genius?
the answer is 0:00. If the car has already been washed twice, it will be spotless, s why wash it a third time?
i dont know any of this stuff. im a fifth grader
Glitter Girl Fashionista! You haven't learned how to solve basic equations yet? What kind of math have you learned?
maxpowers3732 lol give me a break i just started 5 grade
Mathematically, I agree that approximately 3.43 minutes is correct if both individuals work without rest until the car is completely washed. You could also argue that Al will only agree to wash half of the car, and he would take 3 minutes to do so. Fred would need 4 minutes to wash his half of the car, so the total time to wash the car under this scenario would be 4 minutes.
Oh, my God! This is the same lesson that Cory gave in Girl Meets World, and he actually said, "You're wrong, Farkle"!
Shared work formula (which is typically beyond the scope of 6th-grade math curriculum): 1/Time1 + 1/Time2 = 1/SharedTime.
We plug in our times: 1/8 + 1/6 = 1/x
Get an LCD: 3/24 + 4/24 = 1/x
Add: 7/24 = 1/x
Cross-multiply or just reciprocate everything: x = 24/7 (the ~3.43 which people below have already found).
Multiply 0.43 min by 60 sec/min to get roughly 26 sec,
So the combined time rounds to *3:26**.*
0:47 Cory's not using his noodle. They're working together, so it has to take less than six minutes. If they both took ten minutes, it would take five together.
1:23 Minkus forgets: If you can do a job in x hours, 1/x of that job is done in an hour. (Substitute "minute(s)" as appropriate.) Farkle gives the correct answer in GMW.
Wo?
@@frmda5ive382 It's what I learned in my elementary algebra class.
FARKLE AND STUART GOT IT WRONG
Ahh, math. The only time when you can buy 46 watermelons and nobody wonders why.
Al washes half a car in 3 minutes (6/2=3). Fred washes half a car in 4 minutes (8/2=4). If they wash the car together Al will finish his half at the 3 minute mark. At this point, Fred has completed 75% of his side (3/4=0.75). If Al then helps Fred with the remaining 0.125% of the car (1/2 of 0.25%(cause he started with 1/2 the car)), and if we treat this last 0.125% as a completely new section with two halves... Considering Al's pace of 0.166% per minute and Fred's pace of 0.125% per minute, if they worked at the same speed they would average out the last 0.125% at 51.6 seconds (0.125/0.145=0.86) (60x0.86=51.6s) or 25.8s each, but since Al works 25% faster than Fred we can offset the average 0.25% or 6.45s in Al's favor meaning Al will be done with his half of the last 0.125% or 0.0625% in 19.35s while Fred will only have completed 0.75% of his half of the last 0.125% or 0.0625% or 0.047% leaving 0.015% of the car remaining. If we then treat this remaining 0.015% as a new section split into two halves we would get Al completing his half of 0.015% or 0.0078% in 2.25s while Fred will only have completed... wait for it... 0.75% of his half of the last 0.015% or 0.0078% or .0.00585% leaving 0.00195% of the car remaining. And this gets split in half again and again and again.
That was a long way of saying that it will take Al and Fred an infinite amount of time to wash the car together.
However, a more practical answer would be 3 minutes and 30 seconds. 7 minute average divided by 2 cause there are two people washing the car.
I'm pretty sure Corey learns from this episode that there is no right answer sometimes, and that's the answer to the question there is no right answer sometimes
MINKUSSSSSS
Even in the 6th grade, Corey and Feeny knew each other so well that they predicted the others responses.
shes living her best life these days as the talented chanel west coast. slay queen
This is the same question as girl Meets world
About 3.4 minutes (3 minutes and 24 seconds). That's the answer.
I was washing my car and I was thinking about this scene. I came back inside and now it's in my recommended.

The question in the beginning was mentioned in GMW
Mr. Feeny is my favorite TV teacher
Love this show❤
Farkle answered 3mins25.7 seconds so
This episode was triggering for me! While I totally get the "life lesson" that Mr. Feeny was trying to teach these kids, if I went and told my Math teacher "there is no answer", it would not have flown.
I miss tv shows like this ♥️
