I just conducted a scientific study of how dumb (or at least mathematically illiterate) people are, on average.

Methodology: Walk around and ask people, "What is 17x4?" If they answer correctly within 3 seconds, 5 points. If they answer correctly within 5 seconds, 3 points. If they think about it and answer incorrectly, 1 point. If they stare at me with their mouth open and a blank stare, zero.

(Note: people who were freaked out at a stranger on the street conducting a "scientific survey" and didn't want to answer on that basis were stricken from the record. There were five of them. They should score -1 apiece for being NPC assholes who can't deal with their fellow humans, but I digress.)

Of the 26, I am happy to report that a full 7 earned 5 points. Another 5 earned 3 points. 6 earned one point. This makes a total of 56 points. A perfect society with a good education system and no mental defects would have scored a perfect 26x5 130 points. A society with a good education system and a few mentally defective people would score 100 points.

Our society scored 56 points.

Interestingly, mask wearers scored considerably worse than free thinkers. The guy at 7-11 smoking a cig in his car was the quickest at under one second. Kudos to you, fellow free thinker!

Conclusion: Even against the odds, some people can still do basic arithmetic in their heads, but on the whole, our society is farked because people can't think or process data and are hopelessly bound to the lies told to them on TV or through anti-social media.

Have fun with your anti-social distancing, arseholes!
