Here's an example of the way math is being taught in this country today.

6+5+?

Answer 11

Wrong, you have to follow a formula that explains how you get to the answer.

The formula is subtract one from the six and make it five. Add the five to the five and get ten. The add the one back in.

It's called doubling. You always have to subtract the lower number from the higher then double the lower number and add the difference back in.

We once were #1 in the world when kids were learning the multiplication tables. We've added more and more of this kind of math and now we are #25.

The super intelligent keep running the educational system soon we'll be in last place.

This is what is meant by the saying, some things are so simple that only the most intelligent can't understand them.
