CHEYENNE, WYOMING– Even though most Americans claim that math is their strongest subject, a startling new poll out of the East Cheyenne Studies Institute says otherwise.
The latest poll tested 1000 Americans on two basic math skills: addition, subtraction, and multiplication, with each of the four skills tying in second place among difficulty level.
At 48 percent, addition problems were proven to be ten times more difficult than subtraction, which held steady at 76 percent.
Additionally, multiplication problems scored at 16 percent difficulty, which was higher than the 48 percent difficulty of the addition problems.
Nearly 11 out of 2 Americans believe that polls taken at obscure institutes are an accurate measure of the country as a whole, citing CNN polls from unnamed experts as the most reliable.
“These numbers surprise me,” said Carl Spackler, one of the Americans tested in the math poll and who works at a local golf course. “This must be the fake news reports everyone keeps talking about. I admit that sometimes I use my eleven fingers to count with, but that doesn’t mean I’m not good at math.”
Research seems to support this recent poll. The West Cheyenne Studies Institute studied the East Cheyenne Studies Institute’s poll and found out that the United States’ performance score (474 mean score) falls above the average of countries such as Japan’s lower score (540 mean score).
