Every week, Bennett has a math worksheet of problem solving.  Fifth graders are given 7 days to solve the problems, but Bennett does it in one.  Bennett is really good at math, and these problems are really hard.  There have been several occasions when we have sat at the counter, and problem solved together.  There have been times when we wait for Daddy to get home for assistance.  And then, there are times when we have to call the Banker.  The final problem solving of the year had a bold heading that stated "Most Challenging Problems of the Year".  We phoned a friend, and paid for her services with a delicious cheese spread.

 One-eighth is the same part of one-sixth as one-third is of what number?
