Numeracy

The Cool Cash [scratchcard] game was taken out of shops yesterday after some players failed to grasp whether or not they had won

The 23-year-old, who said she had left school without a maths GCSE, said: "On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't.

"I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it."

Christ. Some folk really need to be sent away and only allowed back when they have some basic education in their head.
