Sadly, this is actually true, people actually don't know simple math and operation order.

And they ask me why I hold such low expectations for the future 🤦.

10 isn't an option, so people are putting 13 as the closest?

[-] Mercival@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

It's cut off at the bottom. 10 might be there, or even add your own option might be there.

No, the four percentages add to 100%

Well, it sure as hell isn't 16, so yeah, in that case I would put the closest one as the answer as well, 13.

Fair point, I dun' goofed. It does give me some hope this could be a small sample size with selection bias though, for I'd like to believe anyone, who actually knows elementary school algebra, would simply not engage with the poll.
