There are often times we don’t understand the homework our children have been asked to do.

 

However, the maths problem this seven-year-old was given falls into the ridiculously difficult category.

 

 

Sent home with pages of maths equations to complete for the following day, this first grader was stumped by one question and so are the rest of us.

 

Taking to Facebook to see if a solution could be found, the YouTube stars, The Holderness Family asked if anyone could help solve the equation.

 

 

“What the actual hell is the point of this? Am I missing something? Is there some skill that this absurdity is supposed to hone?” read one frustrated follower.

 

While some found the post entertaining many questioned the fairness of putting such a difficult problem to such a young child.

 

Well, the family responded saying: “I don’t think the teacher expects everyone to get this, I think it was meant to be a problem that would challenge the children. So for that reason I think it’s great that our school included it.”

 

 

If you’re still wracking your brain to figure it out, the below answer will put your mind to rest.
