"Twice the fare from Tucson to Flagstaff..."
The Simpsons Episode S01E02 "Bart the Genius"

Bart's class is given a test by Mrs. Krabappel, Bart visualises the algebra equations as passengers get on and off two trains heading in opposite directions.


Now, I don't want you to worry, class. These tests will have no effect on your grades. They merely determine your future social status and financial success. If any.


Mrs. Krabappel, isn't Bart supposed to face the window... so he won't be tempted to look at his neighbor's paper? You're right, Martin. Bart? Remember to visualize the complex problems, and relax. The test will start... now!


Bart: "At 7:30 a.m., an express train traveling 60 miles an hour... leaves Santa Fe bound for Phoenix, 520 miles away."


Shh! Visualize it, Bart.


Bart: "At the same time, a local train traveling 30 miles an hour... and carrying 40 passengers leaves Phoenix bound for Santa Fe. It's eight cars long and always carries the same number of passengers in each car. An hour later, a number of passengers... equal to half the number of minutes past the hour get off... but three times as many plus six get on. At the second stop, half the passengers plus two get off... but twice as many get on as got on at the first stop." Oof! Train conductor: Ticket, please. Bart: I don't have a ticket. Train conductor: Come with me, boy. We've got a stowaway, sir. Bart: I'll pay. How much? Martin: Twice the fare from Tucson to Flagstaff... minus two-thirds of the fare from Albuquerque to El Paso.


Whoa!


Bart, there are students in this class with a chance to do well. Will you stop bothering them


He's not bothering me, Mrs. Krabappel. I'm finished. May I go outside and read under a tree?


Certainly, Martin.
