Yes, but in Swedish school maths books there are lists of problems, and these are always correct. You don't find a "this problem is nonsense, and here's way" in the list of solutions.
I think this kind of thing is extremely unusual.
- zozbot234 7mo agoI don't know about Sweden specifically, but I'm pretty sure that many word-problems-heavy education systems do also demonstrate ill-posed problems and expect pupils to recognize them. Of course there is generally a warning that some of the problems you get may be ill-posed, and what to say in that case: it's not a complete surprise.
