AlamyStudents in Australia have been complaining that a question in a recent maths exam presented an unexpected curve-ball that threw many off their mathematical game.
The problem put to them involved calculating the angle created when two 50 cent coins were placed side by side.
/YouTubeThe Age reported a host of frustrated responses posted to social media following the exam, including one teen even implicating bankrupt rapper 50 Cent… kind of.
The student allegedly posted ‘Fuck You 50 Cent. I never liked your music anyway.’
Mind you, a lot of people are now taking to social media to lambaste the moaning pupils.
This is a HARD maths question? Maybe for the dunces in the Daily Mail. https://t.co/SG6GQklNBq

If kids cannot answer this we are in serious trouble. Literally takes around 7 seconds to solve. https://t.co/GO1SDx98v4 — Jp (@jonzaldinho) November 3, 2015
