Well, we could make the math portion of the general knowledge test more in terms she could understand.

Lessee.....

If Train A leaves the station traveling west with a load of 27 pronouns and 13 adverbs at 50 mph, and Train B leaves the next station to the west 25 miles away,traveling east at the same speed, with a load of16 verbs and 46 nouns, at what points to the trains meet and create a wreck of dangling participles?

The trains create a bunch of gibberish 15 minutes later 12.5 miles west of the first station, assuming they left their respective stations at the same time.
