Nearly 90 years after she would have graduated from high school, a 103-year-old Wisconsin woman finally got her diploma.

Marie Hunt of Spring Green, Wisconsin, had to drop out of school after completing eighth grade when she found herself unable to get to her local high school,which was located six miles away from her home. 

Now a resident at Meadows Assisted Living and Memory Care in Spring Green, the centenarian was presented with an honorary degree by River Valley High School, 87 years after her fellow classmates graduated.

Never too late: 103-year-old Marie Hunt received an honorary high school diploma 87 years after she would have graduated

'I was born in 1911, and there was no way that country kids six miles away could go to high school,' she said, adding that instead she stayed at home and helped to take care of her eight younger siblings.

When she expressed that she always regretted not graduating, her hospice nurse contacted the local high school to see if they could make Ms. Hunt's dreams come true.

'It's something I always wanted, and I didn't have the opportunity to go. And now, a hundred years later, here I am,' she told ABC's WKOW on her graduation day, 87 years after her classmates graduated in 1928.

‘When is Cheryl’s birthday?’ The math problem that stumped the Internet.

Are you smarter than a Singaporean high school student? Here’s one way to find out.

See if you or your friends can figure it out.

The answer to this problem is in the video below this article.

A math problem intended for sophomores and juniors in Singapore has become the obsession of some portion of the Internet over the past few days. The students were asked to answer a seemingly simple question: “When is Cheryl’s birthday?”

To figure it out, you’re provided with some vague clues. Cheryl separately gives two new friends some details about when she was born, including a list of 10 possible birth dates. She also tells one of the friends, Albert, the month of her birthday, then tells the other friend, Bernard, the day of her birthday.
 
As a final clue, there’s a conversation between Albert and Bernard, in which they each talk about what they know.

Now go solve the riddle!

Stumped? You’re not alone.

The question first appeared on April 8, as part of the Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiads contest.

It was posted online Friday by a Singaporean television presenter and quickly went viral — perhaps because the problem was initially misidentified as one intended for 10- and 11-year-olds.

As the problem spread far and wide, it became a bit of a joke. Truthfully, we blame no one for choosing to laugh instead of crying out of frustration.
 

Now that we solved that problem, what about this one?

We really need to bring back more family activities. Kids really need things to do to be more productive in society, especially in the african american communities. We can not continue to leave one race behind for financial gain because in reality we are one race, the human race. What is financial gain without a human race? NOTHING.

Definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Are we as a human race doing the same thing? Just follow the news for your answer. Click here
