Some Math Using Professional Athletes

It's not uncommon for us to present some addition/subtraction problems to Cal in the form of professional athletes and the numbers they wear (or wore) on their jersies. Tonight's challenge was typical, though it did tap into some historical (i.e. not active) players, something we've certainly talked about but, other than Michael Jordan being the greatest basketball player EVER, not that we spend much time on.  Here's how it went:

Dan: "What was Michael Jordan's number?"

Cal: "23."

Dan: "What was Scottie Pippen's number?"

Cal: "I don't remember."

Dan: "Okay, what's Michael Jordan plus Josh Donaldson minus 10?"

Cal: "You mean minus <Patrick> Sharp?"

Dan: "Yes."

Cal: "33."

Love it.  Love him.
