Actual math problem of the day

[conuly]

Mom divided 56 crayons so that Margie got 8 more crayons than her sister. How many crayons did Margie get?

Eva: Wow.
Me: WHY WOULD SHE DO THIS?

We did eventually do the math, but seriously, what's with the favoritism? In this problem, Margie's sister isn't even given a name.

Yup. (But math doesn't suck.)

Math doesn't always suck - or even most of the time - and neither does life. But sometimes they both do suck, especially when your sister gets more crayons.
