fucking lol, I've done that so many times. I used to get ripped and hook my laptop up to my big ass LCD TV for the visualizations.

[Sonomaa]

I used to do that when my friends would come over and get really high. Throw on some smashing pumpkins and some milkdrop and keep them from fucking up my final fantasy tactics save

So if she is working at the same pace she will go from cutting once in 10 minutes to cutting twice in 7.5 minutes each....? I would have said 20 also

[Qalbert]

I assume that's the point, lol teacher's wrong etc

[Kumbai]

I assume that's the point, lol teacher's wrong etc

Something similar happened to me when I was pretty low down in school. I was quite a bright kid and knew that I was right.. I asked her about it and ended up getting a mega bollocking even though she was wrong >_>

[Galkaeater]

Its not a very good question to start with since either 20 or 15 could be the right answer

[Siniroth]

No, the correct answer is 20, 15 is 'I started the second cut and stopped halfway through'

You can cut a square metre board in half so you have two 1x0.5metre boards.
Then you cut one of those board in half so that they are two half a metre squared boards and one 1x0.5 board but since you are only cutting half a metre for the second cut it takes half as much time hence 15 minutes.
however you can take 20 minutes if both your cuts are a metre such as 3 equal thirds

[kuronosan]

The reason why it's incorrect is because the teacher is assuming 2 pieces took 5 minutes apiece to cut a single board in half. The girl takes 10 minutes to make a single cut. You now have two pieces. To make a third cut, at the same rate, would mean she would have to make another cut (which took 10 minutes the first time). That is a total of 20 minutes.

If that doesn't help you understand, since it didn't say equal pieces (even if it did, she's cutting a rate of 1 cut/10 minutes, not 1 piece/5 minutes):

She makes one cut. 10 minutes pass. She has two pieces. Total number of cuts - 1. Total time elapsed - 10 minutes. Total pieces obtained: 2.

The rate is equal to the amount of cuts over time - 1 cut/10 min, not 2 boards/10 min, reduced to 1 board/5 min. You started with 1 board.

She makes another cut, at the same rate of time. The rate is 1/10. She now has three pieces. Total number of cuts - 1. Total time elapsed - 10 minutes. Total pieces obtained: 3.

Finally, decreasing the length does not decrease the cutting time unless it is specifically stated by the problem that it did. Given that the picture shows her cutting down the center, unless you're Superman, cutting perpendicular to the board is not going to change just because the wood is suddenly smaller. We're not dodging the laws of physics here, GE.

The correct answer is 20, it could never be 15 unless she increased the speed she cut at.

[Bikpik]

The teacher is wrong, he/she was assuming it took 2 cuts to make 2 pieces, hench the 5min/cut explaination there. 1 cut(or 2 pieces) = 10 mins, 2cuts(3 pieces)=20 mins
