There are also traditional word problems. Twitchy has found a word problem that may be the most egregiously awful math problem the Common Core has produced yet.
Take a look:
15. Juanita wants to give bags of stickers to her friends. She wants to give the same number of stickers to each friend. She's not sure if she needs 4 bags or 6 bags of stickers. How many stickers could she buy so there are no stickers left over?

Juanita isn’t going to buy ANY bags of stickers. YOU ARE, and you’ll pay for bags and bags of stickers for her friends, too.
Juanita has no friends so she needs no stickers......
And if you are a masochist, you can try some of the Common Core test questions here:

The Answer is Always “C”
She should buy 12 stickers if she’s cheap or some other multiple of 6 and 4 if she’s feeling generous.
She doesn’t need to buy stickers. She should get government to give out free stickers.
Without the qualifiers, the answer is, none..
The correct answer is: "Because White people are racists!"
Regards,
That’s a straight line.
Can’t answer unless we know if it they are Obama logo stickers or Gadsden Flag stickers.
“LOL! Yes, indeed the answer is always 42. :)”
Oh yeah? Always?
What was Mariano Rivera’s number?
What is the square root of 1764?
Where was Bill Clinton in the presidential order?
Gosh, you’re right!
Actually, the answer to “life, the universe, and everything” is 42. We just need to figure out the question...

Bzzzztttt!!! Try again. Hint: It’s a system of equations (one) with two variables.
It depends on the kind of stickers?
there are no answers, the solution is for congress to grow a pair
Oh come one now, we all know the Dims have plenty of really big ones, it is the Republicans that don’t have any; at least not most of the male Republicans. Some of the female Republicans; well that’s another story.
24, obviously.
The right answer is WTF?
Correction, it’s 12.
