Math Teachers are Dumb

Silly teacher! We were given a worksheet today, and I didn't have a calculator so I went and worked with a partner. Anyway on the worksheet there is a problem that had numbers and an equations basically we were supposed to find out how many wolves there would be in like so many years. So we figured out the answer, and the girl I was working with said... gee should we round up or down. I said round down obviously because you can't have 1.5 wolves. (Duh!) Then we get the answer sheet and they rounded up! Of all the retardation! The math people must find it hard to live in the real world... I just wonder was the wolf cut in half vertically or horizontally?...
