Aiming for the Perfect 10

It's been a looong time since I slept for a Perfect 10.

Tomorrow is a day off and I'm thinking of executing Operation Perfect 10. Let's see. If I go to bed in another hour's time, give take 12.30am then I have to sleep till 10.30am. Hmm...

The Obstacles:
1. Going to bed by 12.30am today.
2. Sleep all the way through for 10 hours.

Now, you will think that no.2 is not that hard. But you see I have an internal alarm clock. Tick tick tick. Regardless of what time I go to bed, it rings approximately after 6 hours. That's how I get up each morning. Simple mathematics. Gotta get up at 6.30am. Count backwards. I'll sleep before 12.30am. Anything earlier, lucky me... extra minutes. Anything later... boohoo.

So, that means I'll wake up around that time again tomorrow morning. Snooze my internal alarm and goes back to sleep. Now, remember when we snooze our alarm, it goes off again in another 5 minutes? *sigh* So does my internal alarm clock. Maybe not in 5 but it bounds to go off again. So reaching 10.30am is easier said than done.

But what's tougher is going to bed at 12.30am. How? How? I'm the perfectionist Virgo. -.-;; I want Perfect 10. Perfect 10.

Gosh I'm whiny tonight. Eww... I'm going to bed.

Good night world.

Let's do Math!

Below is the actual chart that shows the various fare of a KLIA Transit ride. Answer question 1 and 2 accordingly:


Question 1:
Hanako-chan is going to KLIA to meet a friend. If she boards the train from Bandar Tasik Selatan, how much did she pay?


Okay. Got your answer?


Was it RM26.50?


Well, rest assured you would have passed any test paper in school. However, this is the real world we are talking about. Not school. If things are that simple we would have all stayed as kids and never grow up. Money my fellow friends are essential for all working adults.


Answer:
Hanako-chan paid RM11.50 to get to KLIA.


Solution:
Hanako boarded the train at Bandar Tasik Selatan, but only to Putrajaya/Cyberjaya for the price of RM5.30. She then exited and bought another ticket to Salak Tinggi which cost her RM3.00, waited for the next train, exited Salak Tinggi bought another ticket to KLIA which cost her RM3.20, went back in, waited all over again for the next train.

RM5.30 + RM3.00 + RM3.20 = RM11.50

Forget about the weird stares you'll get from the counter dude, watching you walk in and out. You my dear friends have save approximately RM15.00.



Question 2:
After a nice wonderful meet-up and a delicious dinner later, Hanako took the train home. How much did Hanako-chan spend that day on transportation?


Okay. I think this time you should probably get it right?


Answer:
RM38.00


Did you get it right this time?


Solution:
Now remember this is real life we're talking about here. I have even stated in the question that it's after dinner. Hanako-chan is a decent young lady who is as conscious of her safety as much as her money. Knowing that its late, going in and out as well as waiting for the next train one after another will take up the night, Hanako-chan took the direct train home from KLIA to Bandar Tasik Selatan which cost her RM26.50.

RM11.50 + RM26.50 = RM38.00

Now, my dear friends. I am not entirely sure if what we learnt in school actually applies in real life but Maths and logical thinking are ever the important to help you weigh not only money but the pros and cons of things.

End of lesson. =)
