Gmat Math Question of the Day

If x + y = 8z, then which of the following represents the average (arithmetic mean) of x,y, and z, in terms of z?

(A) 2z + 1

(B) 3z

(D) z/3

(E) (3z) / 2

Doh! This seemingly easy question stumped me and took me way more than the alloted 2 minutes to figure out.

hi, my name is michael, and i’m addicted to pixel junk monsters.

oh, and i love hate this game. it drives me nuts! i’m ready to pull my hair out! why do i keep playing it? because it’s like crack (except you have dancing villagers and oh so annoying flying what-cha-ma-call-it thingys). the game looks innocent enough. i mean, how can you get angry at such a cute monster:

If you see this guy on the street. avoid at all costs! he will stomp on you and munch on you! he did that to my villagers! i had a perfect game going (on a level i must have tried over 15 times on) until he couldn’t be stopped by my six seven mortar guns! you would think a “snail” would move slow.. but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he danced his way through my six seven mortar guns. who does he think he is? jackie chen?

argh! i am soooooo mad! anyway, i need to get my fix.. who wants in?

…but..wait!

Yes, I know! You’re thinking to yourself.. just what the world needs.. another wordpress blog. Well boo-hoo.

I know we haven’t been backpacking in a long time recently, but summer is quickly approaching and we just *might* be able to squeeze in a few trips. Plus this gives me us a chance to get back in shape. I know Mo wants to go in April, but perhaps we can wait until after my GMAT? Pretty please?

You won’t freeze and die a horrible death.
It’s too rushed to plan a trip in April.
It will be summer-time and we’ll all feel more relaxed.
We can ALL go.
Did I mention we can ALL go if we schedule it at a later date?

Death Valley does look like a nice trip, though I’m not looking forward to carrying 50 gallons of water on my back.

I’ll do some more research on possible trip locations.
