Because they're not sufficiently attentive?
Because they haven't the drive to rise to the challenge of solving an equation not written in the format they are programmed to deal with without exerting their cerebrum?
I mean, c'mon! If one's a math hotshot and sees the equation as awkward, hinkey, ambiguous, why pop out
either 2 or 288 without commenting on your perceived problems with the equation?
What, if none of the above applies, is your understanding of why so many got the wrong answer?
Oh, and, You 'would' say the answer is '288'? "Would", if what; you were
certain the answer IS 288?
