Some freshman from Trinity Hall Played hockey with a wonderful ball; Two times its weight Plus weight squared, minus eight,
Gave "nothing" in ounces at all. What was the weight of the ball?

The ball does not exist... Hockey is played with a puck.

The PUCK however would weigh 2 Ounces

Setting aside some "trick" of language:

if weight of the ball is "W":

two times its weight is 2*W or 2W
weight squared = W^2
"gave nothing in ounces at all" = 0 (is there some sort of trick here given what appears to be intentionally deceptive language used?)

2W + W^2 - 8 = 0 (subtract -8 from both sides or add 8)

2W + W^2 = 8

W=2 (ounces presumably)

Field hockey is not hockey... its a bunch of co-ed girls running around in skirts while pedophiles watch.

Are "co-ed girls" trannies or is that just a new term from the Department of Redundancy Department like ATM Machine, or PIN Number?
