Mum shares son’s maths question that’s stumped the internet
From Rebecca Flood of The Sun:
A mum has asked for help over her seven-year-old son’s maths homework after it completely baffled her — and a professor who has a PhD in maths.
The woman shared a snap of her seven-year-old’s schoolwork to a popular Facebook group dedicated to lockdown tips, after it left her scratching her head.
In the post, the mum said the homework has never been that hard before, which is why she turned to the internet for help, The Sun reports.
Alongside a snap of the problem, she wrote: “I hate homework. Please help!”

The tricky question is as follows: “Karla says: “I have three hundreds counters, 17 tens counters and 16 ones counters.
“a) Can she make two equal three-digit numbers? If so, draw the counters to show them.
“b) Can she make two equal three-digit numbers if she had to use all her counters? If so, draw the counters to show them.”
Can anyone figure this out? I never was any good at maths
