Here's The Solution To Scotland's Crazy Difficult 'Zebra Vs. Crocodile' Maths Problem

Yesterday, we asked if you could solve the maths problem that brought Scotland to tears.

Given up?

Hey, no judgment.

On the surface, it all seemed fairly simple: measure how long it would take for a crocodile to reach its prey, a zebra, by land?

In a unique twist, the more time one spent re-reading the question, the more impossible its unravelling seemed.

(Well, except on Facebook, where a number of readers figured it out pretty easily.)

Though the puzzle was deemed so difficult that the pass mark for its exam had to be lowered to a staggering 34 per cent, there was indeed a solution.

Let this video, provided by Mashable, explain.

Fair warning, the video is ten minutes long and narrated by a very nice-seeming but nonetheless digression-loving Scotsman. He actually says at one point, "Anyway, that's got nothing to do with it." Good luck!
