Description
So:A King weighing 81 kg stands on top of a block of concentrated mathematical evil that weighs 12 metric tonnes. There are 400 peasants attempting to push the block off a cliff: 120 of them can push with a force of 50 kg, 200 if them can push with a force of 20 kg, and 80 of them can push with a force of 25 kg.
What is the least number of peasants required to push the block off the cliff?

It never fails to amuse me that after these years people still post comments on this silly picture! I now truly understand the level of dislike people have for this subject in school!

I think that question was on the math final I just took!
This is very clever; the word problem in the description makes it even better. I think I'llfeature it on my main page!
Thanks for the laugh, my mom and I both can't stand math and we got a real kick out of this. XD;
