Ah.

Well if that's the issue, then invented words should work equally as well, while simultaneously trimming the less intelligent from the pack.

"A squan begins its 90km jiit at 20 km/q, but finish in just 5 q. Assuming it never changes rate except at exactly 2.7 q, what is the rate they finish at?"

It will let smart people easily answer the question, and teach dumb people to simplify problems down to their core math components. So I can see the complaint if they're making it needlessly wordy without purpose to doing so. Still, it is overall a very dumb complaint, since math is not about word choices for anything less than maybe a doctorate-level course.

(EDIT: Because I know some people on this board are going to do it, the answer to the problem is ~15.652km/q.)
