Blaging on blagging-Jefferson style

CONICS IS SO FUN AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND!. Unfortunately I'm having a lot of problems on the word problem questions. i just don't seem to know where to start. after one particular word problem is solved, i begin to think why i wasn't able to solve it with ease. There is nothing different about the idea. But if it's rewritten in a way that seems like it's from another language then it's really really hard.
