Agent 008 *HowToWriteABlogWhileStudyingForPhysics*

The following post is based around the entirely fact-based publication "CPM Algebra II Connections" (2007) by Judith Kysh. 

So if you are not familiar with The Case of the Cooling Corpse, firstly, I pity you. Secondly, fortunately for you, it can be found at this site: http://www.cpm.org/pdfs/information/conference/A2C_Problem_Solving_Reasoning_Logarithms.pdf
It's problem number 25 (you have to scroll down the page a little).

The wholly innocent idea of the story is to get kids to learn how to solve algorithms. However, Judith goes around doing this in the best possible way: a murder mystery.

If you didn't bother to read the link in the description, too bad. I'm not going to summarize the plot for you. Let's just say it involves a character named "Dr. Dedman", and a slight necrophilic sub-theme. And the main-cop-detective-agent character is named 008. Isn't that just the best.

Sadly, I cannot find a copy of the artwork for this particular problem. Your'e really missing out though. It looks like it was drawn by a gerbil having an epileptic seizure.

Here's a conclusion someone took the time to write to the saga:

Anyway, the point behind this post was that if I had to be inflicted with The Case of the Cooling Corpse, then everyone should be.

And if you didn't read the links I graciously provided to you; congratulations. You won.
