The combination of coins Della has is logically impossible. The story states that Della has $1.87 and that 60 cents of it was in pennies. Subtracting 60 cents from $1.87 leaves $1.27. Since only other coins are nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars and dollars and since there are only 60 pennies, the remaining $1.27 must be made up of the other coins. There is no combination of nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars and dollars that equals $1.27.
."The Gift of the Magi" is a famous short story by O. Henry. It also contains an interesting mathematical error in the first paragraph. The author states that Della possesses $1.87 with $0.60 of the total consisting of pennies. The remaining $1.27 is not supposed to have any pennies at all, which is impossible.
The correct spelling is 'Vaya con dios.' The first one is pronounced 'vee ya' in Spanish. While the third one is phonetically correct, it is orthographically in error. 'Vaya' is the singular imperative tense of the verb 'ir' - to go.
My son started back to school today. As I watched him race off, so nonchalantly, on his 10-speed, I felt that familiar mixture of longing and relief. Longing, because he has grown so fast, because he is only with me for such a short, short time; relief because the house is empty again, at last; I can have that second cup of coffee in peace and start work on the new story that's been filling my brain with its insistent racket.
I think the answer is "I am a fool".
First things first

Normally a mathematical investigation has a question to answer or a problem to solve. The field of statistics is populated largely by mathematical investigation. And a link is provided to the excellent Wikipedia on that topic. Surf on over and read just the first paragraph....
