Lest anyone be under the illusion that the New York Times has even the slightest degree of credibility in their scientific articles, I quote from the July 7, 2004 issue, page A17. FLORIDA: MATH QUESTION STUMPS JEB BUSH. At a speech to high school students in Orlando, Gov. Jeb Bush was stumped on a math question from the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, which he has championed. A student, Luana Marques, 18, posed the question: "What are the angles on a three-four-five triangle?" The governor gave a steely grin. "The angles would be -- if I was going to guess," he said. "Three-four-five, Three-four-five. I don't know, 125, 90, and whatever remains on 180?" Ms. Marques had the correct answer: 30, 60, 90. "The fact that a 51-year old man can't answer a question is not really relevant," Mr. Bush, a Republican, said. "You're still going to have to take the FCAT and you're still going to have to pass it in order to get a high school degree." (AP) (So blame the AP for this one.)
