Chapter 1



A father and his teenage son were at home spending some quality time. The phone suddenly rang and the father rushes over to pick it up. "I need these solutions! now!" yelled the boss.
"Oh, Hello Mr. Peterson, how are you this fine evening?" replied Henry.
"Yeah, yeah, just great." said Mr. Peterson. As they talked for a few minutes, Henry hung the phone up.

As Henry finished jotting down notes. He rushed to his room threw on some jeans and headed out the door. When he bolted out the door, he didn't realize that a paper was left behind. His son then heard the car leave the driveway and went over to lock the door, and noticed a piece of paper on the ground. Knowing that his father was on a tight schedule he didn't want to disturb him. He observed this problem, and quickly realized that he could not solve such a problem of this magnitude. He looked at the paper and it read: Find depth of water at Townsville generating station at 3:46pm, and know what time the water depth reached 4 metres. Working with: the maximum depth was 19.2 metres at 6:30 am and the minimum was at 2.6 metres at 3.6 hours later. Solved by 10pm. He glanced at the clock which read 7:33pm. He at that point, rushed to the phone and dialed none other than Captain Jabbamathee's number!

Only after waiting 5 minutes, there was surprisingly a knock at the door. Who could it be? CAPTAIN JABBAMATHEE! Pumped on what seemed like brain 'roids. He was eager and as he observed the paper, he quickly showed the steps to success.
