Today I was walking down the street, when a random guy comes up to me and says "Hi, can you help me? I'm a student from Mongolia and I need to raise money so i'm selling socks". I thought that was kinda interesting, and I did actually need some new socks, so I agreed to buy a pair. He got excited and said "you can get a discount! $10 for 3 pairs!" I said no, I only need 1 pair, and he was like "oh, 1 pair is $3."

I guess they don't teach math in Mongolia

Or maybe you just got tricked into buying a cheap $1 pair of socks for $3 from some guy who's not even from Mongolia and speaks English very well.

That is an interesting discount.

Yes, nice job, except you got the country wrong. This guy is clearly an American trying to hustle money out of you, because we all know only American math can be that bad. As an American, I know first hand. 4/3 people at my school failed math!

Wwell, in this case it's more mere logic than proper math. But I laughed at your reasonement.

If you read carefully he's not actually making fun of Mongolia, just that one particular person, who happens to be from Mongolia.

It's true, the title is a sweeping generalization and I for one am deeply offended. The Mongol Empire was the most racially diverse empire to ever conquer half the known world, and you can be sure if a man improperly calculated a discount when selling socks to Genghis Khan he would not be making a blog on the internet with the implication that his entire people were bad at simple arithmetic.
