ROTFL!
I tried to post my answer to your homework assignment in your comments, but couldn't. You can view my answer over at my blog.
I've been fighting fuzzy-headed pish-posh for years and found out facts don't work. I've resorted to humor to shame them. See:

Funny cartoons. My daughter just got placed in accelerated math (I don't know where I went wrong) and I'm happy to report they're simply doing math. Of course, I live in the burbs.
I have a post here that might be up your alley, so I wanted to let you know.
