Look at this. A simple arithmetic question has them sweating bullets.

hidden power level gives impression that it's effortless to learn for some people so when people struggle they just fold
also, people don't realize how to apply it or how useful it is

not clicking on your channel
but youtube videos are always edited to show people in the worst possible light
"most people" are not intimidated by maths, but they do tend to use tools to help them do it i.e. calculators

people arent intimidated by math, they just dont want to deal with it because it requires work. people want to do less work, not more.
>>
>>16785255
some people had bad experiences in their early education scaring them away from such things and simultaneously building a terrible groundwork for their future maths skills to work off of, which then makes the future experiences more frustrating and so on in a feedback loop until they give up entirely and just say they hate it and dont want to try.

because its really hard and you dont realize how dumb some of us really are, and when you spend your whole life being berated/bullied for failing at intellectual tasks you develop an inherent psychological panic mechanism when you need to problem solve.

I think this question is not well defined, and as such as it's an excercise in applying whatever assumptions that the person asking the questions wants you to.

Let's apply it to the realistic example of donut making. There are at least three different machines that I can think of involved in making a donut so it's not as simple as '1 machine makes 1 donut in 1 minute'.

Five minutes sounds about right for preparing five donuts as you can go through all the stages from preparing ingredients -> preparing shape -> frying in around that time. However, note that if you had ten donuts it would also take five minutes because they could be included in the same batch (a fryer can hold 10+ donutes for example).

The man is clearly a degenerate for speaking whilst his mouth is full of food.

If the 5 machines working in tandem to make the donuts than adding a further 95 machines to the assembly line that aren't needed to could cause chaos and halt the process. Stupid question, for that reason. Didn't specify how the machines operate.

a big problem is the people in maths. no one wants to deal with them. at all.
>>
>>16787626
Who are these people?
>>
>>16787630
visit a maths department and find out.

>>16785255
i know math, but i hate word problems.
>>
>>16785255
It's more of a riddle than a math problem and they don't want to bother thinking about it because they don't know which it is.
>>
>>16787626
Their research isn't going anywhere and it's got them perpetually frustrated to the point it's become their personality probably

but it is 100 min?
this thread is full of brainlets

NPCs can't do math, it's just not coded into their skinwalker programming
