I woke up at 5:01 a.m. and I even went to bed early last night. I read for 32 minutes. If I read a page and a half every minute, how many pages did I read? I had breakfast from 5:30 to 5:39. How many seconds was I eating breakfast? I went back to sleep for 1,800 seconds. How many minutes did I go back to sleep for?

I wake up at 6:28 [Does wake really go up?]. My bus leaves at 8:14 a.m., and I want to be on time. It takes me 5 min. to get up and get my clothes on and 7 to get downstairs. Next I play on the computer for 1 hour, then I hit my brother for 3min. Will I be on time? If so how much longer could I sleep?

I wake up at 7:36 a.m. Then I notice it's a school day. My dad didn't wake me up. I wondered how many times my dad didn't wake me up in my life. Then I went to my dad and it took me one minute to wake him up and 2 minutes and 17 seconds to brush my teeth. It takes me 30 minutes and 43 seconds to eat my breakfast. Then it takes me 7 minutes to take a bath and 3 minutes and 7 seconds to put on my clothes. It takes my dad 7 minutes and 33 seconds to do my hair. Then I run to get my jacket and my backpack with took me 32 seconds. Yep, I'm fast! :-) Then I ran to the bus which took me 49 seconds. What time is it?

My parents wake me up at 6:32a.m. It takes me 7 minutes to get ready. Hmmmm, I wonder how long does it take to start the olympics from the last olympics?

When I get to Great Escape. I eat snack for 20 minutes, but it's 7:30 a.m., and gym time starts at 8:00a.m. Do I have enough time?

If you add the people from the A.M and P.M Great Escape kids equals 122 children. What is the squareroot of 122?
