111 Mystery on South Beach ~ Gallagher’s Story
222 Here’s the Deal Before coming to Shelbyville Middle to teach, Mr. G. had it all! He struck it rich playing the lottery and built an incredible mansion down on South Beach in Florida. He spent his days riding jet skis, scuba diving, and laying on the beach, soaking up the sun.
333 Then one day, he lost EVERYTHING!!!
4444 The last thing he remembers is getting hit over the head with a coconut. When he woke, he found himself in a cornfield in Indiana.
Luckily, Mr. Ramsey drove by, on his way home from the Cow Palace. He picked him up and graciously gave him a job here at Shelbyville Middle until he could figure out what was going on. 555

Master Bedroom It took 4 months and 8 days (130 days) for a team of designers and a construction crew to build Gallagher’s mansion.

How long would it have taken the crew to build his mansion if he’d wanted 23 rooms? A) 209 days B) 199 days C) 145 days D) 233 days
Move that Bus! You’re right, it would take a regular crew about 200 days. We’d get it done in around 5. That’s just how we roll. Give Mr. G. these tools so he can get started on a new mansion in Indiana. ~ Ty Pennington 202020Slide 11
Home Theater On rainy days Mr. G. would often stay inside and watch movie after movie in his own home theater.

The Garage Gallagher kept three cars in his garage, a Jaguar XJ 220, an original Hummer, and a replica of the Bat Mobile. The Jaguar tops out at 217 mph. The Hummer only reaches about 90 mph, and the BatMobile runs up to 180 mph. It is about 240 miles from South Beach to Orlando. Running at top speed, Gallagher made it to Orlando in 2 hours and 40 minutes. Which car did he take? BatMobile Hummer Jaguar
Shake and Bake! 90 mph from South Beach to Orlando? Disney World will be closed by the time he gets there. Next time take the Jaguar. Give him this bumper sticker for luck, he’ll need it if he doesn’t want to get pulled over doin’ 217! ~ Ricky Bobby
Living Room Gallagher celebrated his 21st birthday in this living room with about 50 of his closest friends. They had a great time, but his buddy realized that they were about to run out of root beer. They had already gone through 15 cases in three hours. They only had five cases left. If they continued to go through root beer at this rate, how many more cases would they have to buy to make sure they had enough for two more hours of partying? A) 10 cases C) 12 cases E) 4 cases G) 9 cases B) 5 cases D) 6 cases F) 3 cases H) 14 cases
What a party! Tell Mr. G. we apologize for the broken coffee table. That’s the last time we let Joey and Chandler play root beer dodge ball in the house. Maybe this replacement will make it okay!? ~ Joey, Chandler, Ross, Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe.
Family Room Besides the pool, this is definitely the best place to relax. Mr. G. liked to hang out watchin’ baseball on the couch. His favorite team, the Chicago White Sox, currently has a disappointing 5 win, 7 loss record. If they continue to play at this level, what will their record be at the end of the 162 game season? (Round up on the wins and down on the losses) A) 64 wins and 98 losses B) 82 wins and 80 losses C) 74 wins and 88 losses D) 68 wins and 94 losses
68 Wins? Sounds more like the Chicago Cubs! Why are we talkin’ about stinkin’ baseball anyway? I never really liked that Gallagher guy. Give him this pack of Stewie’s diapers, and tell him who they’re from! ~ Peter Griffin
Recording Studio Mr. G. had one of the most high tech recording studios in all of Southern Florida. Artists like Akon, Jay Z, Missy Elliot, and Young Jeezy all came begging to use his place. But it wasn’t cheap. Gallagher charged each artist $5000 to use his recording studio for a half hour session. If Jay Z wanted to try and record four or five songs it would take him 3 hours at least. How much would he pay for 3 hours and 45 minutes? A) $37,500 C) $25,000 E) $40,500 B) $47,500 D) $20,500 F) $36,500
It’s a Hard Knock Life. Too bad Mr. G. lost his way. I feel bad, but at least I don’t have to pay 5 grand every time I want to use his studio! Keep it real, and make sure he gets this suit. ~ Jay Z
Game Room The game room had it all. The pool table could be converted into ping pong, foosball, air hockey, and into a card table.

If you played 3 games per day, how many days would it take you to play them all twice? A) 76 Days B) 100 Days C) 112 Days D) 84 Days E) 64 Days F) 42 Days
What? X-Box 360? Playstation 3? What happened to the good ol’ NES? That’s right, Nintendo! Give Gallagher this fireball, a gift from me. ~ Mario
Dining Room Dinner is served. Formal dinners were rare in the Gallagher mansion, except on Sundays. Every other week Mr. G. would have his family flown into town for Sunday dinner. You could only imagine how many frequent flyer miles they racked up. Using Northwest Airlines, you earn a free round trip flight anywhere in the continental U.S. after purchasing plane tickets totaling 15,000 miles. Each time Gallagher purchases 8,600 miles worth of tickets. How many times would it take to earn 4 free round-trip flights? (round to the nearest whole week) A) 6 Times C) 7 Times B) 8 Times D) 12 Times
Leavin, on a Jet Plane! Okay, so it’s not your typical aircraft, but we’ll make sure and be home for dinner. Give Mr. G. this replica, if you would. ~ Bruce Willis
The Kitchen Right after Thanksgiving, Mr. G’s cook always puts him on a diet, and for good reason. Last year she tried Weight Watchers. The Weight Watchers diet uses a point system based on calories and grams from fat. For every 50 calories, you use 1 pt. The day after Thanksgiving, Gallagher ate 4 waffles for breakfast (400 calories), a turkey sandwich for lunch (425 calories), and two slices of a meat lover’s stuffed crust pizza for dinner (500 calories per slice). How many points did he rack up? C) 18 1/4 points A) 36 ½ points B) 32 points D) 73 points
That pig! He never stuck to my diets! There were always the late night pizzas and chicken wings. He loved my Italian dishes though. Take him some of my chicken tortellini with broccoli rabe. ~ Rachael Ray
Master Bathroom The bathroom tub holds just about 30 gallons of water. Every time you flush the toilet, you use 3 gallons of water. Let’s say in one week Mr. G. took 5 baths and flushed the toilet 28 times (thanks Taco Bell!). How many gallons of water did he use that week? A) 150 gallons B) 214 gallons C) 184gallons D) 234 gallons E) 258 gallons F) 198 gallons
Yo Quiero Taco Bell!!! Bring on the burritos, por favor! Give Mr. G. these cans of air freshener. Trust me, he needs it! ~ Taco Bell Dog
The Gazebo When Mr. G. really wanted to impress his dates, he would take them out to the gazebo. Quiet atmosphere, soft music, and dinner by candle light; who could resist?! The average song is 3 ½ minutes long. If Mr. G. planned on entertaining his guest in the gazebo for a half hour, how many songs does Gallagher need to burn to his C.D.? (Round up) A) 7 songs B) 8 songs C) 12 songs D) 9 songs
