Nancy is a very attractive clerk in a candy store. She is 19 years old, a Freshman at an Ivy League university, wears fashionable clothes, and is a highly competent mathematician. She has done a least-squares analysis of her weight during the last two years and has found that the best-fitting polynomial creates a cubic equation. What does she weigh?

If it's anything like candy-stores here, she probably regularly weighs candy.. And thus might currently do so.. 
Aside from that I haven't got a clue..
