Replying to @brainfertilizer @MorlockP
I imagine my kid coming to me to ask why he got this ‘wrong’. There’s no answer I could possibly give that wouldn’t involve explaining that the teacher and/or person who wrote the test is kind of stupid, & that it’s best to indulge him/her. That’s not math. This isn’t math.

This problem & expected answer don’t teach math. They teach bureaucracy. How to navigate bureaucracy. How to give answers of a type that some manager boneheadedly ‘expects’. That’s a valuable life skill too, in a way, but it is *not math*.
