Polish Textbook

This guy's Turkish, isn't he?

On board a sinking ship there are fifteen Christians and fifteen Turks. In order to save the ship from going to the bottom, half of the crew needs to be thrown overboard. One of the Christians proposes that the whole crew form a circle and every ninth person jump overboard. How should the Christians place themselves so that only the Turks are drowned?

That question is not from the book: “Surving The Trip Across The Mediterranean: A Crusader’s Guide To Using Those Greasy Turks”, but in fact was a question in a grade school math book. WTF?! Look, just because this is the conversation had on ever sinking ship (Where the fuck are the Turks?!?), doesn’t mean it should be glorified in Polish textbooks.

“We did not try to exhort anyone to hate. What mattered to us was the mathematical model – the historical context was irrelevant,” said the author of the book….as he flossed his teeth with the bone marrow of the dead Turk he just ”dissected” in science lab.

Historical context was irrelevant? Ok cool. “How do you stop a Polish tank?”
