[LMB] AKICOTL: very OT - interpreting an algebra question

[Ronda McCarthy]

I agree with your reasoning. The question says quite clearly, "What percent
of online adults..." The total percent of "online adults" would be 100%,
while the total percent of "adults with online access" would be 66%.  Very,
very poorly worded. I guess it just shows that math skills and language
skills are not necessarily linked. :-)
