[quote=Vocalia]Unrelated, I was making a Math quiz in preparation for my brother's final exam this semester. By the time I finished writing the questions, I just noticed that one came up like this:You are playing Pokemon Black 2 and are running around a patch of tall grass at Route 6, home to several wild Pokemon species. Below are the list of Pokemon you can encounter and their respective percentages of encounter:Marill - 5%Tranquill - 15%Swadloon - 10%Deerling - 30%Karrablast - 5%Foongus - 10%Shelmet - 25%Suppose that you encounter 100 Pokemon during the course of your gameplay. Determine the probability of you encountering one Marill out of the 100.... Do I laugh or cry?

Neither. Math Quizzes will often throw in easy questions, but word them in a complicated way to catch out students. I had a very similar question in my GCSE's, I kept going back to it because I kept thinking "This is a GCSE level exam... They can't throw questions [i]that[/i] easy in... There has to be more to this..."
