The tricky head-scratcher was shared on Reddit by a sibling who was left confused by his younger brother’s homework.
The question was all about working out how many pages are in a book.“Klein read 30 pages of a book on Monday and 1/8 of the book on Tuesday. He completed the remaining 1/4 of the book on Wednesday. How many pages are there in the book?”The confusing conundrum left many adults stumped, and more than a little bit shocked about how much of their primary school maths they’d forgotten.
One person wrote: “I always think to myself: ‘Ugh. People should really be tested with basic skills before they’re allowed to go out into society’.
Another showed their workings, writing: “1 book=30 pages + 1/8 book + 1/4 book. 1 book=30 pages + 3/8 book. 1 book – 3/8 book=30 pages. 5/8 book=30 pages. 1 book=48 pages”Cillian Murphy movie news we’ve all been waiting for finally confirmedBy Callum BoyleWoman who insisted her dog is vegan proved wrong on live TVViewers left in tears after watching My Wife My Abuser and urge men to speak out
