Please tell me this isn't real. I need to believe that someone made it up to see if we
right-wing crazies would fall for it.
Someone wrote this in the master answer book. That way the answer is available anddirectly presented when the answer is given.If you read a relatively modern book on mathematics you find stuff like this.Thinking is out and memorization is in.Years back I tutored a friend in basic 9th grade math. All the discussions had 27 steps in their solutions. That is because the hired teachers can't actually do math. They didnot major in math.Best would be to pick up a pre 1950s math book for the young ones in your extended
family or those young ones in your neighborhood. Give them a chance of understanding.
