He went looking
For easy answers,
388
00:18:24,370 --> 00:18:26,303
But somehow it didn't add up.
389
00:18:26,305 --> 00:18:29,072
Let "X" equal
An unknown quantity.
390
00:18:29,074 --> 00:18:31,108
Let "Y" go left unanswered.

Counts for 50% of the grade.

-it's collins, man.
He's totally out to lunch.
408
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:16,954
He's supposed to take the tests
Out of the book,
409
00:19:16,956 --> 00:19:18,589
Just like the quizzes.
410
00:19:18,591 --> 00:19:20,024
He doesn't know what he's doing.

-maybe.
412

if I'd just stayed put,
419
00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:47,851
then my "C"could have been a "B"...
420
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:49,519
a real "B"...
421
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:56,427
...One that I earned.
422
00:19:58,831 --> 00:20:00,564
the funny thing is,

00:20:00,566 --> 00:20:03,567
mccormick and the othershad paid their price,
424
00:20:03,569 --> 00:20:05,936

-but...How --
432
00:21:04,430 --> 00:21:09,499
-every problem contains
Its own solution, mr. Arnold.

I could only guess.

00:21:38,898 --> 00:21:40,831

"Every problemcontains its own solution."

00:21:47,339 --> 00:21:49,038
-mr. Arnold.

00:21:59,718 --> 00:22:01,618
No.

00:22:03,456 --> 00:22:07,458
-so, I guess he'd wanted meto solve this one...
