If you know me...

My niece and I were doing some math over Christmas break. Since she is only ten she doesn't know the algebraic steps to solving two-step equations. Yet if I gave her a problem with an integer answer she would figure it out in her head. So I left her with a problem that she did not understand to figure out on her own.

Just now she texted me on g-chat:

5/13.

No preface. No "hi." Just began the conversation with 5/13.

I guess we really are related.

I'm presuming she was correct?

I like short & to the point.

Kevin, that touches my heart. ;-)
And yes, you must be related because she sure did not get those skills from me.
