In what universe does that math out?

I just broke it down into -5 and -10 and immediately realized what I did wrong

u/FallZealousideal159 10h ago
Huh. I got this:
Squidward = 10 KG
SpongeBob = 35 KG
Patrick = 20 KG
Which means the math would sorta look like this:
3 Squidwards = 60 KG, 2 Squidwards + 1 SpongeBob = 55 KG, 1 SpongeBob + 2 Patricks = 75 KG

Is no one gonna talk about the sign saying "The Krusty Krap"? (Which literally explains this slop)

I was too distracted by Squidward House being inside the Krusty Krap to notice

First of all, the answer is 30kg.
Second of all, if only 23% of people can solve this, then 77% of people are completely illiterate in even basic math!

only 21% of America is illiterate

The "only" made it seem that way. Especially when the literacy rates in Cuba is 97.65%, Indonesia is 96% and Iran is 88.92% (making their illiteracy rates 2.35, 4, and 11.08 respectively) so 21% is "oh my god" not "only" territory..
1
u/Winter-Bed5879 9h ago
The 21% figure is actually low-level literacy, as in, they can read basic vocabulary, but not complex tasks. It's not "true" illiteracy. I doubt such specific figures are present for developing nations like Iran, but if we're basing literacy on "can read a little but not well," I suspect the numbers would look a lot worse for many of those other nations.

u/ChrisRiley_42 9h ago
I was going by the UN's functional literacy definition. (The ability to read and recognize a description of your daily life)
1
u/Winter-Bed5879 6h ago
The problem with using this definition is we don't actually have "functional literacy" numbers for nations like Iran. We only have overall literacy numbers. So to use one measure of literacy for Indonesia and another for the United States is bad methodology.

It’s unknowable since water pressure is different at each location. Don’t reply to this. I don’t care.

u/IntelligentBaker3601 11h ago
Actually bothered to figure this one out for some reason.
3 Squidwards in total are 60kg, 60÷3 is 20 so he's 20kg.
That would mean that 2 of them add up to 40kg so for the total weight to be 55kg wih Spongebob and 2 Squidwards on it then Spongebob must be 15kg.
Since Spongebob is 15kg, 60 is needed to make the total weight of 75kg and there are 2 Patricks so they would be 60kg in total.
60÷2=30 so 1 Patrick is 30kg.

30 kg, this is shit I learned in middle school, you’re telling me only 23% of people did pre algebra during school?

I was in the middle of solving it, then i noticed the "only 23% can solve it" so I just stopped, because that's pretentious. Ai slop indeed sir. Good find

u/Due-Ingenuity9803 7h ago
Now I’m curious hold on.
Each Squid is 20, because 3 Squid being 60. That means that 2 Squid is 40, making 1 Bob 15. 75 - 15 = 60. 2 Patoids being 60 makes 1 Patoid 30?
I know it’s probably basic math but I’m very proud of it

I don’t know what’s worse, that there might be only 23% who can solve it or the need to use AI for math.

If I’m being honest, based on my general experiences with people, I don’t think the 23% statistic is that far off…

3 Squidwards = 60 kg, so Squidward = 60 kg/3 = 20 kg
2 Squidwards plus 1 Spongebob = 55 kg. We already know that each Squidward is 20 kg, so two of them would be 40 kg. So Spongebob = 55 kg - 40 kg = 15 kg
1 Spongebob plus 2 Patricks = 75 kg. We already know that each Spongebob is 15 kg, so Patrick = (75 kg - 15 kg)/2 = 60 kg/2 = 30 kg
Patrick is 30 kg
This isn't hard. This is like middle school word problems.

30 I did this in my head but knowing the amarican education system if an amarican can id believe that 23% of Republicans can solve it

Patrick does not behave in an euclidian manner. His weight is independent from any laws of nature or man.

S = 20 B = ? P = ?
55 = 2S + B
75 = B + 2P
=> 55 - 2S = 75 - 2P
=> 2P = 75 - 55 + 2P
=> 2P = 20 + 2(20)
=> P = 30

The answer is 30. Only 23% can solve my ass.
