What was curious to me was the idea that they couldn’t take 9 away from 6 without borrowing, but didn’t seem to have any trouble taking 3 away from 0.

I figured out that 293 was 7 short of 300, so I took 300 away from the bigger number and then added 7 back in.

Plus, they forgot that Siri would tell you the answer right away - that’s the reality of stupidity-based education. People won’t think if they can avoid it.

That’s what I did too.
