This Theory About Neville Longbottom's Wand Explains Everything About Him
When we first meet Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter books, it's clear that he isn't that bright or great with his wand and magic. He constantly forgets items, manages to make a mess out of spells and potions, and is perceived as someone who is on the edge of being a squib. However, an old theory going viral on Imgur suggests that it's not Neville's fault at all, but rather his wand.
The theory, originally posted in 2004 by Soggy Old Coot on the Harry Potter Theory blogspot, explores the background of Neville's wand. As we all know, the wand chooses the wizard, and if you don't win a wand or buy a new one, it won't respond to the new owner in the proper manner. These laws of wands apply to Neville as well. His wand isn't his own, but his father's, meaning his trouble with magic might be because of this law of wands.
The story about Neville and his wand goes on further to connect it to Neville living under his father's shadow. No one thinks he's as good as his dad, and people take great pains to remind him of it. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Neville says, "Gran's always telling Professor Marchbanks I'm not as good as my dad . . . " Of course, later in the book, Neville's wand breaks in the Department of Mysteries, and he starts to become more apt at using his new wand that chose him.
All of this means that Neville is definitely capable of magic and using a wand correctly. "Hence, it is only logical to assume that in ideal conditions, Neville is just as talented as Harry," writes Soggy Old Coot. "We have proof of this in that every instance in which Neville has demonstrated his potential or existing abilities has been in relation to Defense Against the Dark Arts, excepting his talents with herbology, which match those of Harry's at athletics." The books after Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix go on to show this, especially in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where Neville manages to help win the war and make Voldemort vulnerable by killing Nagini.
Oh Neville, you're the wizard we should've had more faith in!
Lauren Conrad's First Maternity Dress Says A Lot About Her Future Style
After seeing Lauren Conrad's baby announcement, we dreamed up a whole handful of maternity looks for the mama-to-be. With that one blissful snap, we could already tell Lauren had embraced a pregnancy glow. She brought it along to Rebecca Minkoff's fashion show in LA, taking a spot in the front row where she showed off her white crochet minidress.

It got a touch of her signature feminine flair with dainty jewels. And Lauren used neutral sandals and a tasseled Rebecca Minkoff messenger bag to sway on the bohemian side.

Queen Letizia's White Dress Looks Pretty Darn Simple - Until You Zoom In
No, your eyes are not tricking you. At first glance, Queen Letizia of Spain seems to be wearing a plain little white dress - A-line, sleeveless, to the knees, with a split collar - but if you look closely, you'll see the royal's outfit is far from simple.

Kristen Stewart Blasts Trump After He Dissed Her For Cheating on Robert Pattinson
Kristen Stewart did not hold back when it came to hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time ever this week. The Personal Shopper actress kicked things off by taking a walk down memory lane and recalling the tweets Donald Trump sent out about her in 2012. The tweets in question encouraged her then-boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, to leave her after she was caught cheating on him with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders. "I don't think Donald Trump hated me. I think he was in love with my boyfriend," she said. Things only get better when Kristen calls herself "so gay" and accidentally drops the f-bomb. Honestly, you just have to see the whole thing for yourself.
Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again--just watch. He can do much better!

7 DIY Hair Remedies Your Grandma Always Talked About That Actually Work
It's safe to say we've spent our teen and adult lives on a quest for the secrets to silky, shiny hair. Wouldn't you know, the secret to achieving ultimate softness or the perfect hue could be right in your refrigerator or pantry, and your grandma might have been telling you about them for years! You may have rolled your eyes at her ideas growing up, but as an adult you're surely willing to try anything. Read on for 10 abuela-approved DIY hair tricks.
1. Honey and olive oil give hair shine:
Honey is not just for tea and olive oil is not just for salad. The kitchen staples are well known for their softening properties, so grandma was right when she would suggest you sprinkle a mix of the two on your strands to make them healthier. Follow a simple heated recipe for the ultimate deep conditioner.
2. Mayonnaise works wonders as a conditioning treatment:
Unlike chemical-laden salon treatments, mayonnaise is chock full of oils and proteins to leave your hair strong and well hydrated. "The oil softens the hair, making it shinier - and the protein in the eggs will make strands stronger," says hairstylist Nathaniel Hawkins.
3. Adding avocado to a deep conditioning mask will boost results:
Nature's butter doesn't just taste great, it also does wonders for parched skin and hair. Try a homemade mask made with honey and olive or coconut oil to achieve amazing softness.
4. Coca-Cola can give your hair a healthy shine:
What the what? But it's true, even stars like British supermodel Suki Waterhouse turn to the soda for a just-back-from-the-beach look, thanks to its acidity. Just be sure to rinse your hair immediately after trying it!
5. Eggs help your hair grow:
Who wouldn't love to speed up hair growth while dodging damage? Eggs are loaded with protein, a key ingredient your hair needs to regain strength. Mix one with olive oil to do the trick.
6. Lemon juice can lighten your hair:
Skip the bleach for more gentle solution for natural highlights. It's just like a natural version of Sun-In.
7. Apple cider vinegar helps to detangle:
We all know the frustrations that come with brushing out the tangles in your hair every morning. Try a few spritzes of apple cider vinegar as a natural remedy that will also add softness and shine. Bonus: apple cider vinegar is also known to help with dandruff!

8 Disturbing Bombshells From Leah Remini's Scientology Documentary Series
Image Source: Getty / Noam Galai
When you think of Scientology, a few people probably come to mind: Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and Leah Remini. While Cruise and Travolta are partly known for their unwavering devotion to the "church," Remini publicly split from Scientology in 2013. After having doubts about things the church was doing and questioning the church's leader, David Miscavige (which is apparently a big no-no), about the unknown whereabouts of his wife, the actress had had enough.
In addition to speaking out about her experiences with interviews and a book, Remini decided to dive even further into uncovering the church's corrupt reality with her A&E documentary series, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. On the show, she travels around the country with Mike Rinder, Scientology's former senior executive and one of Miscavige's right-hand men, to talk to former church members about the horrors they allegedly endured over the years (the church denies all claims made in the show). See the biggest bombshells below, which include forced abortion and physical abuse.
- The church's leader, David Miscavige, reportedly beats his staff. Several former church members have spoken out on the show about the physical abuse they endured at the hands of Miscavige (he's 5'1", by the way). All of the situations they described include the church leader's attitude changing at the drop of a hat and him punching, shoving, and choking them in front of other Scientology staff members. Whenever someone even looked like they were about to fight back, a group of Miscavige's men would swoop in and immediately remove that person from the building. One former church member, Jeff Hawkins, recalled that Miscavige looked at him after physically assaulting him and said, "Do you know why I did that? To remind you who's boss."
- Women in the Sea Org are reportedly forced to have abortions if they get pregnant. In the show's fifth episode, Remini sits down with Marc Headley, a former event coordinator and video producer for Scientology, and his wife, Claire, a former Sea Org member. While working in the Sea Org, a now-land-based organization of the church's most dedicated members that control management operations, and living at the church's international headquarters in Hemet, CA, Claire became pregnant with their first child. But since Claire alleges that Scientology thinks women in the Sea Org who get pregnant actively want to leave, she was forced to get an abortion. "If a woman got pregnant, she would instantly be scheduled to go and get an abortion," she said. "If she refused in any manner, she would be segregated, not allowed to speak with her husband, put under security watch, put on heavy manual labor, and interrogated for her crimes." Marc and Claire managed to narrowly escape the church (he says he was run off the road by church members in an SUV; she says she snuck out of Walmart and hopped on a bus), but that will never take away their pain. "I can go, 'Well, now I have three beautiful children who are my life,'" she continued. "But it doesn't make me feel better about not being strong enough to tell them to go f*ck themselves."

- Despite escaping the church, some people are reportedly still tracked down and brought back. Claire and Marc also went into detail about the heavy security that Sea Org members are reportedly under when they live at the base in Hemet. In addition to security cameras being everywhere, their outgoing mail is always read before being sent, they are on strict meal schedules, and the fence that surrounds the property has large spikes on both sides, which prevents anyone from entering or leaving. Claire revealed that when her friend tried to escape, she fell in a ditch outside the property and was brought right back in by church members and put on heavy labor duty. She also said she knew one member who fled all the way to South Africa, where he was tracked down and brought back.
- Private investigators reportedly hired by Scientology followed Remini during the filming of the show. In the fifth episode of the show, Remini and Rinder are driving when they notice a suspicious-looking car close by. After signaling to the car several times that he can pass, he refuses. When they pull up next to him and ask him who he is, he says he works for TMZ, but suspiciously doesn't have a camera and quickly drives away. When they then pull into their hotel, two men are sitting in the lobby with their phones pointed at Remini's car. The hotel manager asks if they are guests, and they both quickly get up to leave. Rinder confronts them, they act like they don't know anything, and Remini later reveals that one of the men is a private investigator (oh, and the TMZ guy was driving the PI's wife's car).
- Church members will spend thousands of dollars trying to reach the highest level of spirituality in Scientology. Scientology was founded by a man named L. Ron Hubbard, who believed that you need to clear yourself of your "reactive mind" in order to advance up "the Bridge of Total Freedom." People do this through auditing sessions, where a Scientology auditor asks the person a series of questions while they hold two metal cans attached to a machine. The machine tells the auditor if the person is telling the truth, and in order to continue to grow spiritually, church members have to pay for expensive courses in order to improve. It also should be noted that Hubbard holds the Guinness World Record for most published works by one author (and they're mostly science fiction) . . .
- If you leave the church, you will most likely lose your entire family. If a member of the church speaks out against Scientology or decides to leave, they will be labeled a "suppressive person" (watch Tom Cruise talk about it at the 4:29 mark). If the rest of that person's family is still in the church, they will be pressured to disconnect from that person, which means cutting off all communication and essentially never seeing them again.
- David Miscavige reportedly told private investigators to let his father die. David's father, Ron, was the one who got his son involved in Scientology when he was a young boy. But after years in the church and being heavily monitored while living at the base in Hemet, Ron and his wife, Becky, decided to plan their escape. In episode four of the show, Ron told Remini that he knew he needed to get out after he walked by his son one day and decided to say hello. "Dave looked at me and I knew that I had done the wrong thing," he said. "By calling him Dave," Remini clarified, to which he replied, "Yes." After Ron and Becky finally escaped, his son hired private investigators to follow him, one of whom was brought in for questioning by police and revealed everything. According to Ron, the investigator told police that when they saw Ron have what appeared to be a heart attack (he was simply holding his cell phone in place in his chest pocket), they called David to see if they should intervene, but David replied, "If it's my father's time to die, let him die."
- Scientologists believe they have the cure for mental illness. In the show's season finale, Leah sat down with Brandon Reisdorf, a former church member who suffers from bipolar disorder. At the time of their interview, Brandon was in psychiatric care but his family agreed to let him tell his story. While Brandon said he's doing much better now that he's in the care of actual doctors, he detailed his horrific time in the church. After one of his mental breakdowns, the church decided to give him an "introspection rundown," or what they think is the cure for mental illness. It involves locking the person in a room until their "episode" passes, which they think means their body is rid of the illness for good. Scientologists are also well-known for hating psychology and thinking you can treat mental illness with vitamins and intense auditing sessions (as seen in this infamous Tom Cruise interview with Matt Lauer).
We Need to Talk About the Dress Emma Stone Wears in La La Land
La La Land took home best picture at the Critics' Choice Awards, but if you need another special reason to see the film, perhaps this style tidbit will do: Emma Stone's signature dancing dress was selected for a reason. Emma plays Mia in the movie, and though she partakes in plenty of dancing acts, the one set in front of a lit-up Los Angeles seems especially romantic. Costume designer Mary Zophres spoke to Fashionista about her wardrobe choice for the scene, explaining that she was inspired by an Atelier Versace gown Emma wore to promote The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014:
"It's stunning on Emma and I pitched [that color] to [director Damien Chazelle] for that sequence. We had our first fitting and Emma started spinning around in this dress. She loved it. I loved it. She and I thought at the same time, 'Why don't we just use this fabric?'"
After hiring Rob Phillips to hand-paint florals onto the fit-and-flare, the look was just as flattering as Zophres imagined it. Read on to see the La La Land costume once more, then check out the red carpet number that inspired it, along with more of Emma's recent appearances in yellow. One thing's for sure: regardless of the silhouette or occasion, Emma looks downright gorgeous in the shade - the same goes for her new character, Mia.
50 Best Weight-Loss Tips
What to know the one secret to losing weight? The secret is - get ready for it - there is no one thing that does it. It's a lot of little things that add up to big results. And here are some ideas.
Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Benjamin Stone
- Follow the 80/20 rule, which means eating clean 80 percent of the time and indulging a little 20 percent of the time.
- Every time you get an urge to eat when you're not hungry, do 10 push-ups.
- Choose a whole-wheat wrap instead of two slices of wheat bread.
- Chew gum while cooking to keep from snacking.
- Keep cut-up fruits and veggies in the fridge to grab for snacks or easy meals.

- Keep snack centers in the fridge and cupboard to avoid grazing and eating out of containers.

- At the beginning of the week, prepare a big container of salad to keep in the fridge. If the salad is already made, you're more likely to get greens with your dinner.
- Brush your teeth right after each meal and snack to avoid noshing on your co-worker's bowl of M&M's.
- Before your entrée arrives, ask the waitperson to bring you a to-go container so you can package half to save for later.

The Story Behind This Rainbow Baby's Photo Is Even More Beautiful Than the Snapshot
Baby Charlotte is certainly a ray of sunshine to her family! And not just because she's decked out in bright colors for an adorable newborn photo shoot but because she herself is a rainbow baby.
When a little one is referred to as a "rainbow baby," it's because they were conceived after a miscarriage or a stillbirth. This sweet expression honors the parents' struggle to bring this bundle of joy into the world and recognizes that bright sunshine follows even the worst of storms. Even though this can be a difficult expression to illustrate, photographer Jen Priester perfectly captured the idea beautifully.
When Charlotte's mom brought the rainbow headband to her newborn shoot and explained that it was because of her rainbow baby status, Priester asked if they could explore that idea further in some of the photos. The photographer placed the baby girl on a gray fur rug to represent the gray skies that come with storms and positioned her on wool to represent the clouds. She then used extra newborn wraps to make a rainbow, but if you look closely, you'll notice it's backwards.
"The rainbow comes from heaven to earth - red by heaven, violet by earth - to show God's faithfulness," said Priester. "Here I chose to have it start from earth to Heaven to show a receiving of God's faithfulness and gift that comes in the midst of a storm."

Feel Like You're Using a Typewriter With This Trendy New Gadget
We get nostalgic about a lot of devices from the past, like our CD players, flip phones, and even Walkmans. One gadget we didn't think we missed? Typewriters, until we saw this new keyboard from LoFree.
The gadget is called LoFree and self-describes as "the first mechanical keyboard inspired by typewriters."

The Play-by-Play of Janet Jackson's 2004 Super Bowl Nip Slip
Can you believe it's been 13 years since that infamous nipple slip during Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson's Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show? Well, we can hardly either! That's why we're taking it all the way back to 2004 and reliving the moment as it happened, picture by picture. Janet kicked off the performance, singing "Rhythm Nation" solo, before Justin joined her on stage with "Rock Your Body." The gasps came during the grand finale, when Justin ripped off part of Janet's top, revealing her right breast. When the racy moment was met with outrage by fans and the media, apologies and excuses were made, and the whole thing was deemed a "wardrobe malfunction." It looked pretty planned to us, but see for yourself when you check out our play-by-play of the controversial Super Bowl moment, which isn't the only sexy thing that's happened over the years.

Definitive Proof That You Can Treat the Cursed Child Like Fan-Fiction (Because It Is)
After reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, many fans were left upset and with plenty of questions. Namely: why ruin the magic of Harry Potter with the insufferable Albus Potter? However, a closer look at J.K. Rowling's ebooks of Hogwarts prove that everything Albus did in Cursed Child shouldn't have happened.
For those of us who read through the play fast and forgot what happened: Albus uses a Time Turner to go back in time and stop Cedric Diggory from dying. The Time Turner is used again to go to the day Harry's parents died and to stop Voldemort's daughter evil plan (commence my eye-rolling).
However, according to Cosmopolitan, Rowling wrote in Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide the following: "All attempts to travel back further than a few hours have resulted in catastrophic harm to the witch or wizard involved. It was not realized for many years why time travelers over great distances never survived their journeys." Essentially, Albus and everyone else involved in traveling back in time twice (!) should've had "catastrophic harm" done to them.
But considering this isn't Hogwarts: A History nor a book on a list of school supplies needed at Hogwarts, we might not want to take it so seriously. After all, it does say "incomplete and unreliable guide."

He dribbled a soccer ball like a total pro and tried to engage people walking by to play a game with him with only minor success. He even asked a girl if he could have her phone number and she said no - bad call! Watch the full video above, then check out his amazing body in all its glory.

Chrissy Teigen Spoke For All IVF Couples When Someone Dared to Question Her Method
Chrissy Teigen has never been one to hold back on social media, whether it's about her daughter Luna's eczema or how celebrity moms drop that baby weight so quickly. It's one of the reasons we love her so much - and her latest Twitter takedown is no different.
After Chrissy told Entertainment Tonight at this weekend's Producers Guild Awards that a baby boy would be next for her and hubby John Legend, she had to clarify that this did NOT mean she was pregnant. She took to Twitter to explain to her fans that the reason they know the gender of their future baby is because of IVF.
"Since this is coming up again, I said our next baby would be a boy because that is the embryo we have left," she wrote on Twitter. "A boy. So. Yeah."
Since this is coming up again, I said our next baby would be a boy because that is the embryo we have left. A boy. So. Yeah.
- christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) January 30, 2017
And no, I am not pregnant.
- christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) January 30, 2017
But she definitely did not stop there. Chrissy's interaction with internet trolls never ceases to amaze us as she does it in a way that's so confident and RT-worthy. Plus, a filter never seems to be an option. Following her pregnancy rumor tweets, someone decided to question Chrissy's baby-making skills, and she shut them down instantly. Her response to this woman's ridiculous question will make any couple who's conceived through IVF beam with pride.
The woman wrote, "Did you give it a minute to try naturally or are you avoiding 'the act?' At least no political rants!" Chrissy responded, "Hi Linda, thanks for asking, you complete witch. I tried for about nine years. Anything else, let me know!"

Chrissy and John have been very open about their struggles to conceive naturally as well as their trials with IVF, but her response to this woman's question is just a reminder that their family's plans are no one's business but theirs. Sorry, Linda!

Blake and Robyn Lively Have the Sweetest Sisterhood, and Nothing Can Top That
There are a lot of things we love about Blake Lively (her fashion sense, her adorable daughters, her romance with husband Ryan Reynolds), but one of favorites is her silly and sweet bond with her older sister, Robyn. The two, who are also incredibly close with their sister Lori, have never been shy about flaunting their sisterhood. From Blake channeling Robyn's iconic character in Teen Witch to them giving each other shout-outs on Instagram, we can never get enough of the Lively gals. Most recently, they were too cute for words when they attended the People's Choice Awards together in January. In our opinion, nothing can "Top That" (Sorry, had to).
Kate Middleton Picked Up the Coat of the Season and Mastered Athleisure in 1 Try
For many sporting events, Kate Middleton opts for skinny jeans, a blazer, and wedges. But when she joined Prince William and Prince Harry to promote their Heads Together campaign at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the duchess took a sporty turn. Slipping into New Balance sneakers and movable denim, Kate pulled on her new red puffer coat - an essential most of us were at least planning on shopping this year. Though the trend calls for a slightly oversize fit, Kate's jacket ran snug, giving her outfit (however casual), the polished touch she prefers. Read on to get a look, then browse through similar cherry puffers in a whole range of shapes.

Frontier Should Be Your Next Netflix Binge and Not Just For Jason Momoa
I'll be the first to admit that, when Jason Momoa's new Netflix show, Frontier, was announced, I only planned to watch for the eye candy element, especially considering that the show hit Netflix on Inauguration Day. I figured that watching my ruggedly handsome celebrity crush throwing axes in colonial clothing would be a welcome distraction from current events. When I sat down to watch it, though, I found myself drawn in by the compelling characters, the Game of Thrones-worthy intrigue and the Vikings-style action sequences.
Now I happily recommend the series to friends and family not just for the Jason Momoa element - though, let's be real, that will always factor in - but for several other factors. If you're considering diving into a new show, read on for six reasons you should give Frontier a shot.
- The powerful women in the show are top-notch. If you're looking for girl-power inspiration, there are several characters in the series who will be your new role models. Jessica Matten kicks serious ass as Declan Harp's stunning sidekick, Sokanon, Katie McGrath usurps the male-dominated fur trade as newly widowed Elizabeth Carruthers, and Zoe Boyle steals every scene as conniving barkeep Grace Emberly.
- It's unapologetic and action-packed. While Frontier spans several countries and boasts a multifaceted plot, it never puts on any airs about what it is first and foremost: a bloody, raw, and dramatic action series. For every love story or tearjerking character development, there's also Declan Harp throwing a hatchet or literally slapping a rifle when cornered. No apologies, baby.
- It features First Nations and Native American actors without resorting to tired, problematic stereotypes or forced accents. When dealing with North American history, far too many film projects rely on troubling stereotypes of First Nations people; sometimes, they even cast nonnative actors to portray important roles. Frontier stands out from the crowd by representing a complex look at native Canadian tribes, their respective hierarchical structures, and unique traditions. Native culture is infused into every aspect of the series, from the music in the opening credits to the intricacies of several plotlines.
- Jason Momoa is truly magnetic. It seems that vengeful trader Declan Harp is the role Momoa was always meant to play; he has talked at length about his deep connection with the character, and it's clear that he has a blast while playing Harp. His acting prowess is on display in this role more than his other high-profile projects (sorry, Khal Drogo), and it's hard to keep your eyes off of him when he's on screen.
- The show features talent from your favorite shows: Downton Abbey, Fargo, Hemlock Grove, and Game of Thrones. It's definitely one of those shows that'll make you say, "Hey, I know them!" Several familiar faces from your favorite TV series are front and center in Frontier, so feel free to let your fandoms collide.
- The plotlines about greed and colonialism are especially poignant right now. The driving force behind Frontier's storyline is the effect of greed and Eurocentrism in the "New World." Considering current events like the Standing Rock protests, now is an extremely appropriate time to highlight such issues.
The Boxing and Toning Workout Victoria's Secret Models Love
The Creation Fit workout is a favorite among the Victoria's Secret Angels and in this Class FitSugar you get try the workout in your living room. The 40-minute sweat session, lead by the workout's founder Giulini Wever, mixes boxing and toning exercises to work every muscle from every imaginable angle. Yeah, get ready to feel the burn!
We provide beginner modifications for all the moves, but Giulini believes in the power of adding resistance bands to basic exercise to work your muscles even more (and we can attest - it works). Her go-to band? The xercuff. But don't fret if you don't have a band, you will still reap the benefits of the moves. Grab a couple of hand towels (or sliders if you have them), some water, then press play and get moving.
6- and 7-Year-Olds Couldn't Solve This Math Test Question, and We're Not Surprised
The internet is having a field day figuring out what the real answer is to a simple math problem. A Twitter user named Louise Bloxham shared a math problem from a Year 2 (equivalent to the first grade in the US) workbook. The tweet and account are now gone but the problem asked, "There were some people on a train. 19 people get off the train at the first stop. 17 people get on the train. Now there are 63 people on the train. How many people were on the train to begin with?"
If you try solving it yourself, you'll probably get this setup: X - 19 + 17 = 63. All you have to do is solve for x, which gives you 65 as the answer:
@rachelrossiter @LouiseBloxham @MichaelRosenYes It is 65. x - 19 + 17 = 63
Therefore x -2 = 63 ...x = 65. Algebraic solution for a y2 Q.- Robyn Duckworth (@DuckworthRobyn) May 8, 2016
But if you look further into the comments, users start arguing that the answer is 46, not 65.
@teach_well @carveresque on a teacher's FB group a teacher said it was on the mark scheme as Being 46
- Louise Bloxham (@LouiseBloxham) May 8, 2016
Other commentators became philosophical and said that the math problem fails to factor in the train driver and inspector:
@PotMoss @MichaelRosenYes @LouiseBloxham Husband says "66, because we've forgotten train driver". But that doesn't factor in inspector...
- Mrs Davison (@Mrs_Dav_I_Son) May 8, 2016
The situation apparently became too much for one person, who said that everyone was "looking at it algebraically for proof purposes," when it was really just a simple equation.
@LouiseBloxham @MichaelRosenYes Question is perfectly fine. We are looking at it algebraically for proof purposes but it's simple add + sub.
- Olachi Akin (@ixXAkinXxi) May 9, 2016
Although the math question has stumped some parents and young children, the main concern here is not whether or not it can be solved, but if 6- and 7-year-olds should've been asked it. That answer to that question is simple: if there's this much debate about it with adults, then it's not suitable for children.
