Math problem help...
Can anyone help me with my son's math problem?

27. If you have 17 trucks that can hold 1/2 ton and 12 trucks that hold 3/4 ton and it takes 45 minutes per ton to load the trucks and 7 hours to ship the loads, how long will it take for the U.S. public to realize that 380 tons of explosives were left unguarded by the * administration?


Ok, it is a trick question... the answer is that the American public will never know because FoxNews will never report it (and the other networks will fall in line)
