For each bird that comes to the bird feeder, 2 cats visit her yard. Ms. Sunny counted 3 birds visit her yard in March. She watched the amount of birds grow each month: 9 in April, 27 in May, 81 in June and so on until the end of August, when she took down her bird feeder.

Due to all the birds, tons of cats visited her yard at an alarming rate. Her neighbors went to her house to complain about the excessive meowing but Ms. Sunny refused to keep the birds away next summer.
But there is one way to solve this dilemma. Ms. Sunny is always impressed by (good) math. 

Therefore, if you are able to tell her the total amount of cats that have visited her yard during this summer, she won't put as much food in the bird feeder next year.

If you wish to rid the cats and birds, show your work below.

If you want Ms. Sunny to have less than 21 cats visit her yard each month, answer this question:

If Ms. Sunny lived in Florida, keeping her bird feeder running for a whole year, from the beginning of January to the end of December, and the amount of birds started at 2, growing to 4, then 8, then 16 and so on as well as the ratio of birds to cats being 1:2, How many cats and birds would have visited in Ms. Sunny's yard in total at the end of the year?]]> 2019-04-21 00:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bokhariz/o2gl0ipmwyzp/wish/352886011 Benjamin 1xingjas https://padlet.com/bokhariz/o2gl0ipmwyzp/wish/352886617 Benjamin can kick a soccer ball 30 meters before it stops. Benjamin is trying to cross a field that is 14.32 km long. Benjamin is a fast and strong boy, so he does not stop in between and continues at a consistent pace. There is no wind and no one to obstruct the ball, so it moves at a consistent pace. Also, it can never roll backwards. 

Benjamin starts, but then realizes he needs to use the bathroom. He stops for 20 minutes and then returns to kicking the ball. Then, he gets hungry and stops to get some lunch. He goes, but then gets carried away because of the new clash royal update. He comes back to the ball 2 hours later from when he took his lunch break. Then, he continues kicking it without anymore stops. How many times does Benjamin have to kick the ball for it to reach the other side of the field? 

Bonus: Now, Benjamin has to return, but suddenly, a strong storm kicked in. He still kicks the ball 30 meters and the field is still 14.32 km long. How many times does he have to kick the ball if it also rolls back 10 meters each kick?

Since this piano has endured extensive speed-increasing modifications (removing a leg) it can move 20% faster than a normal 4-legged piano. Also, since this is a Grand Piano, it can move an extra 40% faster than that because of its sheer dominance over the ground. Pianos aside, Vincent is a normal sized 8th grader at 160cm tall. If Vincent erodes at a rate of 0.45cm per millenia, which of these options is going to occur first? *The piano is also 160cm away from Vincent*

1. Vincent is going to take the mortifying hit of a stubbed toe from the speedy grand piano

2. Vincent is literally going to turn into sand before the Piano hits him.

(Optional) If there is also a piano falling from the sky at a rate of 0.51cm per millenia, which piano is going to hit Vincent (Or a pile of sand that used to be Vincent) first? *This piano is also 160cm away from Vincent*

(Incredibly Optional) If Big Man Matei has a gravitational pull of -0.05cm on the piano falling from the sky but makes it accelerate by 0.05cm per millenia after it gets 10 cm away from Vincent, does the answer change?
