"Publication". Absurd situations in the Matemyan family

"Hraparak" newspaper writes: "The Internet is once again delighted with the Mathemyan family: this is a fictional family that lives in the imagination of Minister of Education and Culture Zhanna Andreasyan and in the textbook of the 5th grade of mathematics. It is noteworthy that all examples of the Mathemyan family are about eating. Teachers also found embarrassing mistakes in the 3rd grade math textbook, for example, 4x8 is equal to 48 or 6:8 is equal to 1. But more remarkable is the content of the examples.

In the 5th grade textbook, the Mathemyan family, parents Adi and Budi, children Gudi, Dubi and Yegi, do not so much make the children happy as they annoy the parents. One of the parents said that the dialogues and situations they find themselves in are absurd. Example: "Moki said that he ate 2 kg of tangerines in 3 days, and I said that I can eat 3 kg of tangerines in 2 days." "The teacher once told me that he ate a tangerine fried with cream."
