• reasonableness

    Every time this gets reposted, everyone misses this first word.

    This isn’t a maths question.

    It’s asking the student to read the question and make an observation if it’s a reasonable question and answer.

    And with the information provided it’s not.

      But it’s perfectly reasonable for Marty to order the bigger pizza because he is a greedy bastard.

      I’m sorry, what? There is precisely nothing unreasonable about this question. It has a correct answer that can be found with basic logic

        Yeah, most pizzerias sell many sizes. Both answers are valid.

        In fact, i would argue making an assumption, in this case about size, without declaring it, is in fact less reasonable.
