It's a trick question, right? Really, if you can't get this one, you should have a very serious chat with your academic advisor.

30.24 - 1.65 = ?? -- That's one hour

30.24 - 1.65*2 = ?? -- That's two hours

30.24 - 1.65*3 = ?? -- That's three hours

See the pattern. Be the pattern. Free the pattern.
