These Math Questions are like… Oh My God!


It is normal to come across mathematics questions which are difficult to solve. But it is rare to see one that is horrifying.

Horrible Math Question

Horrible Math Question

Here are some of the horrible and disgusting questions that you might ever seen in your life…

  • Tilda Tiger had many hungry children to feed on Thanksgiving Day. She caught 169 Africans, 526 Americans and 196 Indians. She then put the people equally into 9 enormous ovens to bake. How many desperate people were in each oven?
  • Each tree had 56 oranges. If 8 slaves pick them equally, then how many would each slave pick?
  • If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in one week?

Luckily these questions are from the States. But let us not be complacent and not monitor our children’s Math homework.

What will you do if you see these kind of questions popping up in your child’s worksheet?
