This is a question on a standardized test for 7th graders in North Carolina. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it? (non-americans can be excused if they do not know)
The team opened with a 6-yard loss, a 3-yard gain and a 2-yard loss, which would have made it fourth down with 15 yards to go for a first down. The team's fourth play was just a 7-yard gain, and the next 2 plays were a 12-yard gain and a 4-yard gain. What was the average gain for the teams first 6 plays?
No wonder North Carolina sucks in Football! {Hey Cletus, toss me that round football, y-doan-cha}
