This makes me giggle every time I see it! My DVD Math teacher (I'm homeschooled, can't remember if I put that in my self-description) , Paul Ziggler of Systematic Mathematics says when you're learned to add and subract fractions, "You can only add and subtract like things: Apples to apples, oranges to oranges, bananas to bananas, and hippopotamuses to hippopotamuses!" That quote will stay with me for the rest of my life. It's very moving. And I think of it every time I play this game.

I had him as a teacher, too. He was my favorite (the funniest, and most understandable).
I was just googling that quote to see what would come up. Weird, I know. ^_^
That quote will stick with me, too. It always cracks me up to remember.
