What do you mean by "fix in algebraic form" ? Can you please explain more about this brain teaser of yours?
 
ie. come up with an equation. Like...the product of money and intelligence is constant. Maybe throw marriage in the eqn haha. Creativity is key
 
Oh okay, thanks for the explanation, I'll come up with something later, seems like a fun activity! :smile:
