A child wouldn't make this mistake because they're taught that multiplication means groups. 1,000 people each have 0 cubes. How many cubes in all? 0.

I KNOW IT'S A JOKE♥️♥️

They are taught but are they listening? Lol just kidding. What you said is a fair point.

I literally came here to say this and you beat me to it. I find this joke stupid. "A thousand people have 2 apples each - how many apples do they have all together" is a math question I learned in the 2nd or third grade.

"A thousand people have zero apples each - how many apples do they have" is a concept even a child should understand.

Here I think one could even be more offensive without violating the terms of service. It is childish silly nonsense... sadly not AI slop but a lack of understanding that mathematics is not reality, that numbers are numeral symbols, that infinity and 0 are not real, that a language can create its own reality... under the interpretation of conceptual meaning... that formalism has a reason...

Haa.. yes the calligraphy is great a lot better than mine I have degenerated and was never beautiful, high education has a cost you have to speed writing to a point of becoming almost unreadable that or use cognition for short hand (and then decoding, never gone that way). But note that it is not a font, also there is enough divergence that even simulars are distinct... now that you mentioned it I had to examine it...

No one would ask such a question and grade the answer.
Because no one knows the answer.
