A group of Australian students were baffled when faced with a difficult Maths problem in an exam last Friday.

The multiple choice question asked Year 12 VCE students to decide on the degree of the angle between the two coins, as can be seen in the above image.

Some of the pupils weren’t impressed with the task with one taking his frustration out on 50 cent because the questions involved 50 cent pieces.

“F*** you 50 cent, I didn’t like your music anyway” he said, reports The Vice.

However, other social media users thought it was grand with Metro reporting that Adam Astill said that it only “took him ten minutes to solve”.

What do you think?
