Fund the @NIH, fund the @NSF, fund the @doescience, fund @DARPA, and fund #HigherEducation. These are the agencies that make every #Americans life better. Call your representative and senators to make sure that #Trump doesn’t destroy the budget by cutting these programs.
@IndyDPW why are you blocking the only sidewalk on MLK? If you need to tell drivers things, block the lane, not the only wheelchair accessible sidewalk. Please move these.
@nxd1979 After some lackluster brekkies last week when I was in San Diego, I’ve decided never to order anything that has a “pet” name. It’s just a gimmick at this point.
@kayla_dwyer17 But also, the side streets are now just compacted snow because @IndyDPW never took snow plows down them. In my wheelchair, I have to call my partner to come help me get from the bus stop to home because I’ll get stuck.
@StatisticUrban San Diego is great. I liked their buses and light rail, but it needs a bit more frequency. My real complaint is that everyone lets their dogs piss on the trees and no one rinses it down. So just smells like a dive bar bathroom.
No matter what happens tonight, at least I got to ride @IndyGoBus to and from work for free, along with all of the other beautiful people in this city.
In summary, the real purpose of this question isn’t to do arithmetic; it’s to see how good you are at seeing your own biases in the assumptions you make and challenging those biases to get to a different, possibly more appropriate solution than your peers.
The replies to this are a great example of Dunning-Kruger. There are multiple answers as it is an ambiguous question. The goal of the question is to see if you say one answer (fail) or can think through the multiple answers (pass). A 🧵
You can also say that since these could be blended families, the true number lies inclusively between 62 and 112. Again, the answer is based on how general our assumptions are.
