That was painful to watch. Only made it to where she estimated here mile times in shape and out of shape, and then guessed 58 minutes. Man I hope that was a joke.
I don't think it's funny. I think it's sad. Our society has failed her such that she can't even do basic math. I bet she can tell you every name on Jersey Shore, though, or the last five winners of American Idol.
I am going to have to agree with Scutter. That just makes me sad. Society has failed her already.
Her math skills may not be as advanced as hers but I bet his social skills are not as advanced as hers. Not everybody is good at everything. Sure, MPH should be basic stuff but she has to have some sort of skills that made math skills irrelevant in her life thus never learned them.

I've met several women who have clearly traded on their looks for years and watched as they hit the real world where that currency has little value. She never needed math skills because there was always someone willing to cover for her.

I lost it when she was trying to base it on how many times per mile the wheels on the car rotate and came up with "400".
Since I'm an engineer and the answer to that question is killing me, I've determined the following based on a pretty standard passenger car tire that is 205/65R15 like you'd have on a lot of small sedans.
That tire would have diameter of about 25.4 inches, and circumference of just shy of 80". There are 5,280 feet in a mile or 63,360 inches. Assuming proper inflation, and no slip with the pavement, the tire would have rotated 794 times in the course of the mile.
So, clearly she must have missed a unit conversion there or divded by 2 when she shouldn't have. Maybe the Pi*D calculation for circumference threw her off.
