factoring Challenge Problems

Five friends Bob, Moe, Shemp, Felipe, and Curly are having an argument about this challenge problem. The teacher hears their argument and asks them each their answers

a.      Bob say that there are three values of m that work in this challenge problem. m = -13, -8, -7

b.     Moe says that there are three values of m that work in this challenge problem. m = 13, 8, 7

c.      Shemp says that there are three values of m that work in this challenge problem. m = 11, 4, 1

d,      Felipe says that there are six values of m that work in this challenge problem. m = 13, 8, 7, 11, 4, and 1

e.     Curly says that there are six values of m that work in this challenge problem. m = -13, -8, -7, -11, -4, and -1

The teacher sighs and says, “well you are all wrong, but Felipe and Shemp have the correct number of answers”

This excites Felipe and Curly, but then Moe asks,” Who is closest to the correct answer?”, to which the teacher responds” Shemp”

This makes Shemp happy and asks “Who is the most wrong?”, to which the teacher responds , “Bob and Moe” 

This excites Felipe and Curly, but then Moe asks,” Who is closest to the correct answer?”, to which the teacher responds” Shemp”
