Are there any actual examples of math problems in the period cited? When making the point to someone, it might be more useful to have some real math problems, and not have to use a clever, but exaggerated, viral email to make the point.

Take a look at any old 50's and earlier math book. Algebra, for example. I have a couple from the 40's. They are relatively short books but you could easily master algebra by following the course outline.

The 50's were better.
Those are different tactics, is all. Humor may be preferable to accuracy.
