This is the kind of (senseless) maddening math question that your teacher lobs over in the bonus/extra credit section, to toss the kids who aren't mathematically gifted a bone; but in reality, this one took us for a ride.

This seemingly manageable math problem went viral in Japan after a study concluded that 60 percent of 20 somethings could get the correct answer, which was down from a rate of 90 percent in the 1980s.
Uhhhhh, how many people out there (that may very possibly, or not at all) have attended their various math classes just had their worlds rocked? We're talking like 75K likes and 1,000 responses, guys. People are SHOOK, to say the very least. But, I mean, hey, math is a beautiful thing huh?
The dudes over at BroBible up and kicked the hornet's nest with a seemingly innocent enough McDonald's algebra problem. Never underestimate the mathematical prowess of a hangry commenter.
Before anyone comes to this mathematically challenged mouth-breather's defense, I want, no I need to be the first to say that I too grappled with the numbers game on a very, infuriatingly regular basis. Struggled hard, dude. Not this extreme, but enough to guarantee I'd carve something of a living wrestling the blank page with the written word instead of anything remotely inclusive of the numbers. So this dude has my sympathies, but let's revel in the glaring FAIL.

Hey, you know what, who is good at math?
This woman is convinced that she can run 100 meters (roughtly 330 feet) in seven seconds. But that would require one of two things: The longest lunge in the world or some sort of radiation bomb that turns you into a Flash-like superhero. Both of which would be pretty cool.
Either way, if we were all as confident as she was about this, maybe the world would be a little better, and we’d all be a little happier. You keep doing you, lady who could never run that fast.
Honestly, though, this has to be fake because here she is taking "New Year, New You" way too literally.
Either this is fake or this boyfriend loves to humiliate his girlfriend. In which case, leave him lady.
