Patricia Heaton: good actress, bad at math

Video gone.

The title of this vid cracks me up. "staggering ass?"

It's not harder than anyone thinks. At $1.50 each, five euros is $7.50. A roll of quarters is 40 quarters for $10, so 30 quarters is $7.50.

If you've rolled coins more than once in your life, like all of us smart people here in real middle America have, this should have been trivial.

On first glance, it was harder than I thought -- converting $7.50 into different denominations of coins -- but it's much easier if you work from the answers backward, e.g. eliminate ninety pennies ($0.90), seventy nickels ($5.00) and fifty dimes (also $5.00).

I wouldn't give her too much of a hard time over this one.

Patti Heaton is no bimbo. she is a doll! (I am alful at math too) Just need some time to figure it out.

Really?
I think it's kind of tough without pencil and paper, if you do it the actual calculation way. I'm sure I couldn't have provided an answer in 30 sec, like her husband.

(Eliminating choices makes it alot easier, but if you're fixated on that math, $1.50 x 5, divided by 30, 50, 70 or 90, it's pretty tough.)

I saw this last night.what a way to come across as a bimbo which is too bad since I doubt she really is one.Hope she has someone with her when it comes to contract negotiations.
