SAT QOTD is WRONG!

<p>The sum, product, and average (arithmetic mean) of three integers are equal. If two of the integers are 0 and –5, the third integer is?</p>

<p>The answer to the question is 5.
The</a> Official SAT Question of the Day™</p>

<p>But how is the average of 0, -5, and 5 equal to zero?? It's not!</p>

<p>actually it is</p>

<p>-5 + 5 + 0 = 0</p>

<p>0/3 = 0</p>

<p>Lol… nice try.</p>

<p>lol… you’re kidding, right? </p>

<p>(-5 + 0 + x) / 3 = 0</p>

<p>x-5 = 0</p>

<p>x = 5</p>

<p>The question is asking for the value of the third integer(5), not the answer for the sum, product and average(0)</p>

<p>Yeah. This one doesn’t even require writing the problem down. It should come to you by the time you read the last word.</p>
