I recall giving a quiz to my college students sometime back around
the late nineties which had a little bit of arithmetic involved in the answer.
It's been too long ago to still have the exact details, but I remember
a couple solutions that would be of the form:
5 + 10 + 1*2
And then the student would write he was unable to actually
compute that without a calculator. And yes, I deliberately
designed the questions to have such easy numbers to work with.
It was my birthday the other day. People at worked asked how old I
was. I replied:
((3**2)+math.sqrt(400))*2
Quite a few people somehow came up with 47. And these are technical people.
You obviously look very spry for your age.
