A baker made a cake in the shape of a cube to serve at a
banquet for a group of mathematicians. Unfortunately, he slipped and the cake went sailing into a vat of chocolate frosting. The baker fished the cake out of the vat and was relieved to find that it had retained its shape, a perfect cube, while becoming completely coated with frosting. He then cut the cake into smaller cube-shaped pieces of equal size and served one to each mathematician. There were no pieces left over. The cake was especially enjoyed by the guests whose pieces had a lot of frosting. Many were disappointed that their pieces had no frosting, and one complained to the baker that the number of pieces without frosting was exactly 8 times the number of pieces with frosting on 3 sides.
A How many mathematicians attended the banquet?

B How many of the pieces of cake had:
1 No frosting
2 Frosting on one side only
3 Frosting on exactly 2 sides
4 Frosting on 3 sides
5 Frosting on more than 3 sides?

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark
One: Don't miss the boat.
Two : Remember that we are all in the same boat.
Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six : Build your future on high ground.
Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
Nine : When you're stressed, float a while.
Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.< /SPAN>
Eleven : No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

If you don't do well in high school, can you still go to college and have a good career.

I know that I did well in high school (top 10% of class) and was able to get into a college, but it has not helped me overall in life.

My brother did poorly in high school, but is now doing well in his career and makes good money.

Any other examples?
