It's a good example (all 2394/5 candidates take note) of knowing and writing the correct notation etc...
Geez...I'm sounding like a teacher!


PS, I quite like Maths as well, where's my anorak?
 
A brain teaser that popped up in the Sun circa 1970 caused major rows in the local socials snooker room. I couldn't believe how many folks couldn't do simple division. It went:

If 100 horses eat 100 bales of hay in 100 days, how many bales of hay will 10 horses eat in 10 days?


The best answer, tbh, was they'd all starve to death!!
 
Yes again. The number of people that said ten was unbelievable. To me that is very basic math but they couldn't see it.

I got one too. Being a natural lateral thinker that was easy for me, but some people just can't think laterally. That isn't to say they aint smart though, one of my best mates is probably one of the most intelligent people you could ever meet and yet he gets even simple sums very wrong.
