an algebra word problem.
Now, obviously, he is full of shit. And unserious. But he is also innumerate or counting on the media and American people to be so.
He said he worked twice as many days as his predecessors, and took half as many days off. That immediately struck me as a simple system of equations, easy to figure what number that would actually be.
Let X be the proportion of days he worked.
That makes X/2 the proportion the predecessors worked.
Subtracting each from 1 gives the days off for each; and those values are related by a factor of two. Shuffle some numbers around...
Anyway, X=2/3.
Keystones Kash's grandiose posturing (again just obvious lying) is that... He works 2 out of every 3 days. That boastful brag didn't actually say what he thought it said, it seems.
Also, that his predecessors only worked 1 out of every 3 days is probably something some of those DC media types can refute just from their own personal interactions with those predecessors.
