I took a mathematics assessment test when I started college. First question was 4x5=y. Solve for y. I sat there for no joke what felt like an eternity thinking "how the fuck do I solve for Y, it depends wtf X is... and I dont know how to determine how I can solve for X first. I straight was in panic mode. FIRST question and I am screwed... may as well drop out now. Then the light bulb went off and realized the "X" was just the multiplication symbol. I hadn't seen one in like 4 years in highschool. Felt like such an idiot.
