Not being a mathmetician I thought I'd give the woodies answer to your problem;
y = yellow sawdust
o = orange shavings
u = undersize bits
which is a great big mess

Why don't they just say what they mean? If the letters are supposed to correspond to numbers, why don't they just use numbers in the first place? Makes more sense to me. Stoopid teachers!!

"YOU" = whatever you want and UUU = three times that. If you want to know what "Y", "O" and "U" each represent, I'll get back to you...

Well there you go. Draft a response then take the squids to school, when you get back it's all over.
