In freshman geometry, Coleman Pethel and his Lakeview Academy classmates spent the entire class period working on a problem. The question seemed unsolvable. As he and math teacher Debra Zwald later discovered, there was no answer. “She contacted the editor of the textbook, and he told us that that particular worksheet was a mistake and that it didn’t have an answer,” he said.
