Speaking of mowing the lawn . . .
Buford and Festus have plenty of work to do getting

the annual party when Mabel comes down from the
fabulous penthouse apartment.
Buford and Festus have to
1. clean the catfish
2. mow the lawn
3. shovel out the barn for the dance
Each of these chores, when done by one person, takes
one hour.
If they start at noon, what could they do to take as
little time as possible if they have only one catfish
cleaning knife, one lawn mower and one shovel?
Give up? . . . check the answer.
