Insane trivia

So at Caribou shops, we offer a trivia question everyday. Guests that get it right get $0.10 off. Normally the question is "Who was the 10th president?" or something like that. Check out today's. I've copied and pasted the e-mail below:

Email:

At the Grand and Snelling store this morning, the trivia question was as follows:

Calculate the simple derivative of the following function:

f = 2x squared + 2xy squared

Assume y is a constant


I have a few thoughts:
I think we've taken the reduction in LSM discounting too far. That is a VERY difficult trivia question
Can someone check the number of trivia discounts given out at this store today? Anything higher than $2 and I suspect fraud
Can someone answer the question for me? I thought I knew how to do it, but I was wrong. It made me feel old, and like I may have invested thousands of dollars in useless math education.

Thanks!

Look at what someone snuck in the presentation they gave me to see if I actually read it...

Most of the time Maile reads all the slides she says she will. Sometimes she doesn’t. Will this be one of those times? Who knows? My guess is she won’t. This is basically just a made up concept because I’m pretty tired and my brain shut off.

You can't be too careful with swine flue out there...

Advice from Cosmo

I forgot you.

So I take my colleague/friend to work at oh - 6:30 AM - bc I like to work early and he is kind enough to help/agree to work early. Key point here is he doesn't drive to work.

I conveniently forget we drove together... so lunch comes and he says, "Maile want to get lunch" and I say - oh no - you go get something. Score - hinder your colleague's consumption of food.

The day is hectic and by 4 I am done. I have to leave. I pack up and go, not thinking twice.

a few hours later I get a text:
"Dear Maile, You've ruined my night. 1) Not only am I trapped at work with Suchi but 2) You made me miss yoga and a hot girl goes on Fridays...I'm never riding with you again."

Being Maile I completely don't understand - respond flipantly and say I can't imagine how it's my fault. Nice.

You can see where this is going...oh 3 hours later Suchi informs me that I left him and that's why I ruined his night.

Right.
