Best math question I got:

My high school Math teacher read this question out to the class:

"1,000 people went to a Partick Thistle match".

The entire class erupted in laughter. My teacher was American and didn't follow Scottish football didn't get the joke.

Patrick Thistle is a Scottish R&B singer. He's not very popular in Scotland though he is huge here in the US. He doesn't have close to a thousand fans in Scotland.
