How does someone not immediately know the answer to 550 divided by 2? This is what happens when children are allowed to use pocket calculators in arithmetic class.
They can't do arithmetic.
But they have self-esteem ... and that's what really matters, isn't it?

Half of 500 is 250. Half of 50 is 25.
You do the math.

It’s a trick the mind plays. We know that the answer starts with 200, and that 50/2 is 25, so immedietly the mind goes to 225.
Full disclosure: I thought 225 as well. At least I recognize the mind trick, and am not baffled.

"How does someone not immediately know the answer to 550 divided by 2?" Yeah, I got that one almost immediately, and my clutch has been slipping for a couple of years now...

In woke math, 550 divided by 2 is racist because we strive to unite, not divide each other.

The very idea of a "correct answer" is racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic.
Insisting that people get "correct answers" is evidence of White Supremacy.
