No clues? How are we supposed to figure it out if you don't tell us what you write means? And the task is impossible if you don't know what that sign means (and you don't since it's not a standard symbol in mathematics)...

looks like standard math symbols to me.. also, 3:50 is USUALLY an example of time.

Eddie mows the lawn every Saturday to earn his allowance. When his parents die, he inherits the house and continues to mow every Saturday with the same gas powered mower. Fifty years later at the age of 82 he is still mowing the lawn weekly with the same mower. He decides to get the mower serviced because he has been noticing that he has to fill up the tank more often. The mechanic does a full tuneup and the mower runs perfectly--as good as it ever did. However, he still has to fill the tank more often. Why? Note that the size of the lawn hasn't changed.

The engine runs at the same speed, but Eddie moves slower now he is old, so he takes more time to cover the same ground.
