You have 20 pieces of wood. 3 are a foot long. 3 are 2 feet long. 6 are a yard long. 1 is an inch shy of four feet long. The other 7 are all 5 feet long.
Hou many inches of wood do I have?
Your math techniques are good but how well did you read the question?
Pascal is a mere inch from the right answer!!
The question is how much wood do I have?
The statement is "you" have the wood.

Judging from your previous questions
1 - the one that is an inch.
Edit: okay, based on that response, my final guess is none, because all your wood is longer than an inch.

29 11 in + 35 = 64 ft 11 in = 640+ 128 + 11 = 779 inches

one inch shy off (3+6+18+4+35)x 12 inches
i.e. (66x12) -1=791 inches assuming all the pieces are different and do not fit into one another.

3 * 12 = 36
3 * 2 * 12 = 72
6 * 3 * 12 = 216
4 * 12 - 1 = 47
7 * 5 * 12 = 420
total: 791

there is "12in" in a foot and 3 ft in a yard. doing the conversion in the order of the problem you get 36in+72in+216in+47in+420in.
this all comes out to be 791inches
