Mr. Feeny, the only elementary school teacher that teaches like he is a college professor.

Cory : "I've been waiting to hear those words since pre school" 😂

Yep, Farkle is definitely Minkus' son

THEY JUST ASKED THIS ON GIRL MEETS WORLD AND I SCREAMED

Mr feeny: where are you going? Minkus:nurse I love this show!!

The answer is zero. Al washed the car. Fred washed the car. How long would it take them to wash the same car together? The car is already clean. No time at all! :)

oh my gosh cory said the same in girl meets world!

Hahahaha yes. Wow even the way Minkus said things like "hold your applause" and "Wrong, as in not right?", and "Nurse", it's such the Minkus way of saying things. Farkle acted the same way, so yes indeed, like father like son indeed. Only difference is that Girl Meets World didn't axe Farkle's character after season 1, they gave Farkle the chance to GROW and mature.

I love it how Feeny and Cory say "seven" at the same time and "that's not the correct answer" at the same time. That just shows how well they know each other.

BMW: *”Minkus, your wrong”* GMW: *”Farkle, your wrong”* I love those shows so much 😭💞

I've always loved that feeny respected the kids enough to refer to them by Mr and Ms and their last names

I love how Feeny walks back to his desk, while Minkus is giving his answer. He looks calm on the outside he's like "I'm about to say what I always wanted to say to this kid for so long."

Minkus : Gets a wrong answer 1.5 Million People : *interesting*

22 years later we finally discover the answer to this question. And it is not 4.5 minutes, or 7 minutes. lol.

"I'm not interested in the answer. I'm more interested in how you arrive at the answer." We need more teachers like this. Learning the procedure helps in the long run rather than just getting the answer.

I love how Feeny just lets Minkus go to the nurse. I know it's a TV show, and in real life, or at least at my elementary school, there's no way that would fly lol. But in the show, it's the trust and acknowledgement that Feeny has, knowing what a good student Minkus is, and how much he cares about school, he lets him go. Gotta love that lol.

"MINKUS" "TOPANGA" "MINKUS" "TOPANGA"

The way Mr Feeny just grins while Minkus is talking is priceless.

I got a question on a test once. I said what Minkus said. they still marked it wrong. now I think about it. I should have wrote "The Secret of life" on that paper

Girl Meets World just brought me back here.

I was tempted to say "7" at first, but then, I realized that the answer is actually 3 3/7 minutes. 1/6 is the rate one person washes the car while 1/8 is the rate the other person washes the car and assume that X is the the number of minutes it takes for both of them to wash the car at the same time. (1/6)X+(1/8)X=1 X(1/6 + 1/8) =1 X (7/24) =1 X=24/7 X=3 3/7 It takes 3 3/7 minutes for both of them to wash the car.

“ But I did,I’ve arrived, I’m here, I’m ahead of you! “

1:33 the kid behind Minkus is so excited to hear that.

This is why Mr.Feeny was my favorite grown-up character on BMW he just didn't a simple answer to the questions he asked because he wasn't looking for those he was looking for a life important answers to his simple asked questions.

That question was in girl meets world that's so cool

Loved the throwback to this episode in GMW. I suck at maths so it's interesting to read the comments and see all the different ways people came to an answer which is sort of the point. A maths book may give you a set answer but as BMW & GMW pointed out life doesn't have a set answer which is the whole point of the question. I believe the GMW quote is "people change people"

Cory and Shawn truly what everyone should base their friendship on.

Hears minkus explaining how he arrived at his answer Breaths in deeply and shouts "NERD!!!!"

“I’ve been waiting to hear those words until preschool” yea that sounds about right

always good to see shows today have throw back from the same producers to keep the spirit of the show alive

Now he runs Minkus International

-Where are you going? -Nurse 😂😂😂😂😂

KZfaq's Recommendation: 2014? No 2015? No 2016? No 2017? No 2018? No 2019? No 2020? Yes

1:34 That kid's reaction in the background cracks me up.

I love that Girl meets World took a spin on this.

The boy behind minkuses face was priceless, he was Like what do you mean

I felt like in these early days, Minkus and Topanga were both just oddball nerd side characters with funny voices. I didn't realize one would become so incredibly important or that the other would disappear entirely.

This is probably one of the BEST moments in television history

Sounds Familiar...

Another way of looking at it is to consider each one's time to finish washing one unit of car in the sense of velocity and the equation d=rt, where "d" = the units of cars completed (in this case, 1), and "t" = the time one of them spends washing the car. "r" therefore, is the "speed" at which it takes each one to complete the car. Do a bit of algebra so that r=d/t, and you get the speeds of 1 car per 6 minutes and 1 car per 8 minutes, or 1/6 and 1/8. Since we are treating them as vector quantities in this situation, you can add them together, so both boys working together would have a combined speed of 1/6+1/8, or 14/48 = 7/24 cars per minute. Since you only care about how fast they can complete one car, the final equation will be 1 = (7/24) t This simply results in the reciprocal, 24/7 minutes for the combined efforts of both boys to complete the car.

Cory: I've been waiting for those words since preschool Gospel choir: hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah 😁😁😁😁

He is very minkus she is very minkus they are very very very very MINKUS

Awe! They did this on girl meets world too!

If Al washes a car in 6 minutes, and Fred does it in 8 minutes, that means Al washes 1/6 of the car every minute, and that Fred Washes 1/8 of the car in a minute. If both of them wash the car together, they wash 1/6+1/8 every minute. That means our equation, if we want to know how long it takes for them to wash the entire car, is: t(1/6+1/8)=1. After clearing t, t=24/7 minutes. That is: it takes them aprox 3,43 minutes to wash the car together.

Actually, it's 3.43 minutes.

When he said mr. Minkus your wrong i was like are we in another dimention

Nice direction. Look at the face of the kid behind Minkus when he's told he's wrong. He's a nobody in the scene, but instead of skipping back and forth between Minkus and Cory/Shawn, the boy behind Minkus was directed to provide the reaction, while maintaining the continuity. Nicely done, all 'round. "Nurse," was brilliant.

The memories from this show❤

Minkus look like Chanel west cost from

This was the best 90s show

We need to clone Mr. Feeny and put him in every school. This clip reminds me why I loved this show growing up.

Shouldn't the answer be 0 because it's already clean

You take the equation of axb/a+b 8x6 =48 a+b =14 u get the answer of 48/14 = 3 3/7 min.

For those wondering about the right answer: Only the speed of washing is additive. Al washes 1/6 of a car per minute. Fred washes 1/8 of a car per minute. Combining their effort they wash 1/6+1/8=7/24 of a car per minute. So together to wash one car they would take 1 car / (7/24) car per minute = 24/7 minutes = 3 + 3/7 minutes.

I m so happy that i started to watch this amazing sitcom

It was bound to catch up with you. Lol I loved this show growing up.

In 2019...this show is still awesome!

Finney: Mikus where you going Mikus: Nurse 😂😂😂

3 minutes, 25.7 seconds. It's a deceptively difficult question because you have to think about fractions of percentages over time. In 1 minute, Al can wash 1/6 (0.1667) of the car, and Fred can wash 1/8 (0.125). This makes 29.16% of the car washed every minute, or .486%/second. That gives you (roughly) 205.7 seconds or 3:25.7

If you've ever seen the movie Little Big League back in the day, this math problem should be fairly simple.

As a kid who was labeled smart getting the wrong answer was the worst because everyone made a big deal out of it XD

lol 😂 I love this!!

I have wanted to hear those words since the first episode!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

didn't Cory ask his students the same thing on Girl Meets World? 😄🤣

FARKLE AND STUART GOT IT WRONG

now this is making me wonder how many boy meets world references i missed while watching girl meets world

Years later, the same thing happened on Girl Meets World, with Minkis's kid doing the same thing. It was a great throwback

Love this show❤

I stumbled across this clip and am glad I can still do basic math word problems. All can wash 1/6 of the car per minute and Greg can wash 1/8th of the car per minute. Let X = the total time to wash the cars. They can do 1/X per minute. So you have 1/6X+ 1/8 = 1/X. Or 7/24=1/X so X=24/7=3.43 I'm surprised MinKus needed a calculator to do 1/4 * 6 or 3/2 = 1.5. Isn't he supposed to be a genius?

0:47 Cory's not using his noodle. They're working together, so it has to take less than six minutes. If they both took ten minutes, it would take five together. 1:23 Minkus forgets: If you can do a job in x hours, 1/x of that job is done in an hour. (Substitute "minute(s)" as appropriate.) Farkle gives the correct answer in GMW.

Given that the car as whole can be represented by 100%, then on average, Al washes 100/6 ~ 16.67 percent of the car per minute, while Fred was 100/8 = 12.5 percent of the car per minute. Together, Al and Fred each wash a proportion of the car simultaneously, until it is 100 clean; this equates to the algebraic expression [16.67*(time to clean car)] + [12.5*(time to clean car)] = 100. Combining like terms and solving for t, we get that t ~ 3.43 min, or ~ 3minutes, 26 seconds. So together, it takes approximately 3 minutes, 26 seconds, with Al cleaning 16.67(3.43) ~ 57.1% of the car, and Fred cleaning 12.5(3.43) ~ 42.9% of the car

I miss tv shows like this ♥️

On today's episode of: Why the hell is this on my recommended?

This is the same question as girl Meets world

Oh, my God! This is the same lesson that Cory gave in Girl Meets World, and he actually said, "You're wrong, Farkle"!

1:35 ... The kid behind Minkus... His reaction at "you're wrong" is amazing. It's so whaaaaaaaa.... And well get him a better role

MINKUSSSSSS

About 3.4 minutes (3 minutes and 24 seconds). That's the answer.

I feel that the question itself is a hypothetical as an actual correct answer doesn't exist

LOVE THIS SHOW

that shit makes my headache hurt

The question in the beginning was mentioned in GMW

I used to love this show!

Underrated show!

I just love how Shawn always insults Minkus and he fires back and roasts him😂

This episode was triggering for me! While I totally get the "life lesson" that Mr. Feeny was trying to teach these kids, if I went and told my Math teacher "there is no answer", it would not have flown.

I love Boy meets world

I’m dying🤣this is hilarious💀🤣🤣

I'm pretty sure Corey learns from this episode that there is no right answer sometimes, and that's the answer to the question there is no right answer sometimes

Minkus where are you going? Minkus : Nurse Me : lol

Al washes half a car in 3 minutes (6/2=3). Fred washes half a car in 4 minutes (8/2=4). If they wash the car together Al will finish his half at the 3 minute mark. At this point, Fred has completed 75% of his side (3/4=0.75). If Al then helps Fred with the remaining 0.125% of the car (1/2 of 0.25%(cause he started with 1/2 the car)), and if we treat this last 0.125% as a completely new section with two halves... Considering Al's pace of 0.166% per minute and Fred's pace of 0.125% per minute, if they worked at the same speed they would average out the last 0.125% at 51.6 seconds (0.125/0.145=0.86) (60x0.86=51.6s) or 25.8s each, but since Al works 25% faster than Fred we can offset the average 0.25% or 6.45s in Al's favor meaning Al will be done with his half of the last 0.125% or 0.0625% in 19.35s while Fred will only have completed 0.75% of his half of the last 0.125% or 0.0625% or 0.047% leaving 0.015% of the car remaining. If we then treat this remaining 0.015% as a new section split into two halves we would get Al completing his half of 0.015% or 0.0078% in 2.25s while Fred will only have completed... wait for it... 0.75% of his half of the last 0.015% or 0.0078% or .0.00585% leaving 0.00195% of the car remaining. And this gets split in half again and again and again. That was a long way of saying that it will take Al and Fred an infinite amount of time to wash the car together. However, a more practical answer would be 3 minutes and 30 seconds. 7 minute average divided by 2 cause there are two people washing the car.

Shared work formula (which is typically beyond the scope of 6th-grade math curriculum): 1/Time1 + 1/Time2 = 1/SharedTime. We plug in our times: 1/8 + 1/6 = 1/x Get an LCD: 3/24 + 4/24 = 1/x Add: 7/24 = 1/x Cross-multiply or just reciprocate everything: x = 24/7 (the ~3.43 which people below have already found). Multiply 0.43 min by 60 sec/min to get roughly 26 sec, So the combined time rounds to *3:26**.*

Farkle answered 3mins25.7 seconds so

Teacher-"what's the answer" Both-7 Teacher-"that's not the correct answer" 😂😂😂❤️❤️

shes living her best life these days as the talented chanel west coast. slay queen

Fenny broke minkus 😂😂💜👍

Why did minkus go away in season 2

The way Cory felt at the end is a feeling I have yet to experience among certain people around me. The only better feeling is being right when they’re wrong.

No time. The car has already been washed twice.

😂😂like father like son😂😂
