Challenge

This problem makes me happy in its difficulty and challenge. I threw down the gauntlet to my precalculus students. We'll see if they run with it to the finish line or not. Either way, I wanted the smartie smarts to at least know there are some problems out there that require more than just rote brain power.

    Ahhhh! I was looking for some teaching blogs, came across yours, and thought I'd try this one out. I now feel like bashing my head against the wall :D I never got much geometry or trig at school, and it's pretty rusty by now.

    This IS a doozy of a problem .... it gave me a workout of the concussion variety, too.
