[00:00:01]Still doing your homework, kid?

[00:00:03]Yeah.

[00:00:05]You know, we got a relatively big game today, kid.

[00:00:08]Yeah, well, I got a relatively big math due. Can't have this hanging over my head.

[00:00:13]Mhm.

[00:00:14]Math, huh?

[00:00:16]I heard it helps if you write things down.

[00:00:20]>> [music] >> You've worked all season long and now it comes down to this. [music] You wonder what goes through the minds of the players and coaches in high-pressure situations like these.

[00:00:36]If Joe can paint a house in 3 hours and Sam can paint the same house in 5 hours, how long does it take for them to do it together?

[00:00:44]Wait a minute.

[00:00:45]You never said this was a work problem.

[00:00:50]Sully, come over here.

[00:00:54]So, coach.

[00:00:56]If I can paint a house in 3 hours and you can paint a house in 5, how long will it take us to paint it together?

[00:01:08]Logan.

[00:01:13]Takes me 3 hours to paint a house, takes you 5. How long to do it together?

[00:01:19]What color paint?

[00:01:24]It's times like this the [music] veterans really have to step up and lead the young guys. The young guys that haven't been here before.

[00:01:33]It's simple. 5 * 3, so that's 15.

[00:01:38]No, no, no.

[00:01:40]Takes 8 hours. 5 + 3.

[00:01:42]That's 8.

[00:01:44]Ah, man, check it out. It's one two of them.

[00:01:48]That equals 4 hours.

[00:01:56]I should know this.

[00:01:58]My uncle's a painter.

[00:02:01]Why don't they just get a house that's already painted?

[00:02:05]You know, maybe there is no answer.

[00:02:06]Maybe it's one of those trick questions.

[00:02:08]Ever think about that?

[00:02:12]Uh I don't know. I mean, A sounds good to me.

[00:02:16]But there's two of them. Come on, there's two of them.

[00:02:19]Fellas, fellas, fellas, fellas, fellas.

[00:02:22]La Marquand, if you please. Thank you.

[00:02:26]Using the simple formula A * B over A + B, we arrive at the simple answer of 1 and 7/8.

[00:02:40]Wow. Are you sure? Ho ho ho, but of course my diminutive leader. Long have I been familiar with the exactitudes of the mathematical world. And coach, the horse's name is Friday.

[00:02:58]Well, uh great. Now that the pressure's off, let's go win a ball game. What?

[00:03:04]Let's go. Let's do it.
