In 1950: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is four-fifths of the price. What is his profit?

In 1960: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is four-fifths of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

In 1970 (new math): A logger exchanges a set L of lumber for a set M of money. The cardinality of set M is 100, and each element is worth $1.00. Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set M. The set C of the costs of production contains 20 fewer points than set M. Represent the set C as a subset of M, and answer the following question: What is the cardinality of the set p of profits?

In 1980: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80, and his profit is $20. Your assignment: underline the number 20.

In 1990: (outcome-based education): By cutting down beautiful forest trees, a logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? (Topic for class participation: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel?)

In 1996: By laying off 40% of its loggers, a company improves its stock price from $80 to $100. How much capital gain per share does the CEO make by exercising his stock options at $80? Assume capital gains are no longer taxed, because this encourages investment.

In 2000: The logging company made $20 profit. If the original selling price is $100, and there is no cost for the fuel and workers, then the company's expenses were $80. So, if you add in 100 workers at the rate of $5.15 an hour plus $400 a month for fuel and maintnence of the vehicals, divide 5% for stock dividends, and subtract the $50,000 a year salary for the CEO, create the hypothenuse of a right triagle with a slope of 2,5 to determine how long it will take the company to achive a $1,000,000 profit.

2010, it becomes ilegal to cut down trees, loggers get retrained in tech industry, end up sweeping floors a micosoft for 5.25 an hour. The logging company gets compensated for import products and recieve 20,000,000$ to smooth things over, total profit, 20,000,000$ Retire.

2015, Monsanto changes and patents part of the DNA required for photosynthesis in a non-sterile Oak tree, releases pollen across world, files lawsuits against landowners for copyright infringement, nets $100,000,000 from lawsuits, CEO buys and bites the head off cute baby puppy, (money from lawsuit - cost of puppy) = 99,999,990.

In case anyone wonders where the hatred of Monsanto comes from, my family were farmers until about 7 years ago.

Sask.? Canola? Yikes did they ever get the shaft over there So no wonderin' here mon.

3000 air so full of CO2 coz of no tree EGE kills us all....next

...I think the funny part is... you wern't exactly supposed to add on to that

Yea, I guessed that, but it was just too fun:P
