I don't remember the third grade. Maybe if you were in the 3rd grade, you'd pass.

WHAT? "People who work with numbers accept the convention that everything to the right of the division sign is the denominator" the morons. "If you get 288 on an engineering exam you would fail, but the airplane crashes." Genius

Let see...the answers is 2 from a group of engineers with advance degrees and god knows how many patents in the fields of advance fluids and themodynamics, who could pass an engineering exam, but fail 3rd grade math....interesting take.
