~~it's~~

~~a badly~~

~~written~~

~~math~~

~~problem~~

Seriously, every time this comes up and everyone makes a huge deal out of it, I keep thinking, "none of the people writing these better be teachers." You have to be more clear than this.

Edit: ok, not so much this one. I just read the words and assumed the math problem was one of the ambiguous ones. Stand down, soldiers.

Just patently untrue, but I'm no longer interested in this.
