So much missing information, but I would agree 20 seems like the most obvious right answer.

I had a similar experience when I was young.

The question:

Today, Jesse ________ to the store

a) ran

b) is running

c) will run

Teacher was convinced it was b and only b.

Wtf, you need more information like a disclaimer saying present progressive only.

[–]thebestmike 1 point2 points ago

Yea 1 cut=10 minutes so 2 cuts=20. Bonus marks for being smarter than the teacher.

[–]RyMarquez5 1 point2 points ago

With that logic, it takes 5 minutes to keep the board the same

[–]GoLightLady 0 points1 point ago

I'm between 5 min per piece to how many minutes per cut. These questions suck for kids. I remember getting these, getting a version of the right answer and being told it was wrong, even though I was right in a version. Not enough data, too many assumptions. Creates automatons who just learn how to get the right answer for the teacher, not how to think critically.

[–]leftwing_rightist 0 points1 point ago

I could see how it could be 15 minutes. If you cut a board lengthwise into 2 pieces, it would take 10 minutes but then you have to cut 1 of the 2 pieces again. If you cut it in half, it'll take half the time of the first cut because you cut along a shorter area. Now you have 3 uneven boards. If they were supposed to be even, then it would be 20 minutes.

And why was Marie out of the kitchen?!?!

[–]dontbreadonme 0 points1 point ago

The logic in this question is ignorant.

[–]Moba[S] -1 points0 points ago

As the teacher.

[–]dontbreadonme 3 points4 points ago

Exactly. It's obviously going to take her 10 minutes per cut regardless of how many times she cuts it.
