pearandson, through your explanation of why you picked parents i really got the feeling that you over analyzed and assumed too many things...

well it's only 1 question and i myself actually over analyzed a MATH question; i thought the german is 3 more than italian meant that total number of german takers are 3 more than total italian takers...needless to say it took me forever to reach a decision.

2400 duh

no im just kidding, i'd like 2250+ but i'd be happy with 2200+ too. according to my dad i'll at least have hope then...

naturally smart? i wish. but sat has nothing to do with smartness , at least thats what i think

lol narcissa.
i think i just hit some kind of mental barrier on that question
i mean, if theres 6 italian only and 9 german only, how can we distribute the 15 both takers to mantain a diff of 3? oh well, i didn't really care about math this time anyways.

I got a good analogy from my student today:
if
those who study only German have right eye only, and
those who study only Italian have left eye only, and
those who study both languages have both eyes,
then this question translates:
the total number of students = 30,
the number of right-eyers is 3 more then the number of left-eyers,
the number of two-eyers is the same as the number of one-eyers,
everybody has at least one eye.
==========================================
9 right-eyers, 6 left-eyers, 15 two-eyers, 30 altogether.
